Has anyone any clue as to whom O’Connell might hire, all I’ve heard is crickets…

We can't even announce officially that he's our head coach.  I doubt he can get sidetracked thinking about coordinators with the Super Bowl coming up. 

Probably should stay focused until at least halftime.

Source: the Jaguars have hired former Vikings OL coach Phil Rauscher as their OL coach and run game coordinator. The team has also officially added Andrew Breiner as an offensive assistant.

Doug Pederson’s staff starting to take shape.

Once O'Connell is officially hired and introduced early next week, his staff will likely start to come together quickly.
The news that Rauscher is headed to the Jaguars begs the question of who will replace him as the Vikings' offensive line coach. Considering the Vikings' perennial struggles up front, the presence of some talented young players on the O-line, and how important winning in the trenches will be to what O'Connell wants to achieve on offense, it's a critical role.
One name that's out there and worth keeping in mind is Mike Munchak. If the Vikings are going to hire Modkins from the Broncos (and possibly Donatell, too), why not bring the former Denver O-line coach along as well? Munchak spent the past three seasons with the Broncos on Vic Fangio's staff, working closely with Modkins on the offensive side of the ball.

Did Pederson watch our OL at any time last season?
