From Daily Norsemen:
Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that the Vikings have requested permission to interview Ryan Poles for their GM opening. Poles currently serves as the Executive Director of Player Personnel for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Poles has been with the Chiefs’ organization since 2009, and despite all of those years of experience is still just 36 years old. Our friends over at Arrowhead Pride inform us that he started out as a scouting assistant, and has since ascended to the roles of College Scouting Coordinator (for six years), Director of College Scouting (two years), and Assistant Director of Player Personnel (three years) before assuming his current role in the Kansas City front office.
In what was a bit of a surprise, at least to Chiefs fans, Poles was one of the four finalists for the Carolina Panthers’ GM job last offseason, a job that ultimately went to Scott Fitterer, who was then the Seattle Seahawks’ Vice President of Football Operations.
With this addition, the list of GM candidates for the Vikings now numbers half a dozen.
