Anyone else have this feeling that Minnesota takes another step back in 2019?

Man, the NFL seems to be taking this "bright young minds" thing a little bit far.

I have a strong idea they are hiring Kitchens and will offer Stefanski a big raise to be OC, asst head coach

Agreed! Listening to the talking heads gush over Nagy the other night...plus every other "up-and-coming" OC over the past year...is flat out nauseating. It seems every coach over 45 is now "rigid" and "old-school" or the game has "passed them by."
BS. They are nothing more than any other flavor du jour and some will undoubtedly succeed and most will go on to coach a half dozen or more teams before they're through.

Yeah, I can understand giving Stef another chance at OC, but head coach? After being a QB coach for several years and TWO games coordinating an offense? The 2nd of which made many of us question whether this bright young mind was really that bright at all? And now you want him to manage a clock, hire a staff, tolerate stupid questions from the media?

had to laugh at that one, but it is so true.
Yeah, I would consider him at OC, if he has a plan and could present it. But I saw nothing that said, this guy is certainly the guy at OC, let along HC.

What does that say about the situation here if he would rather go to the Browns as an OC? I agree with you that for stability it makes sense for the Browns to hire Kitchens and let Stefanski be the #2 but according to the article below, he is still considered a finalist for the HC position with Kitchens. I guess he would rather have some stability in Cleveland where he knows he will have a few years to prove himself vs. a Lame Duck Coach and Front Office that likely won't do enough in 2019 to keep their jobs and earn a contract extension.

I have no doubt. Not that they won't try to make one last run, but I think they have way too many holes to overcome in one offseason makeover.

You honestly think that the team will tank and Zimmer will be done after next year? I expect much better than that.
