Vikings working to re-sign Mike Priefer, per reports

Mike Priefer has been a sore subject among Minnesota Vikings fans for some of the issues the team has had while he has been the special teams coordinator, but apparently head coach Mike Zimmer and the coaching staff do not share those concerns heading into the 2019 offseason. According to a report from Alex Marvez of the Sporting News, the team is working on re-signing him to a new deal with his contract set to expire on Tuesday.

Seems silly to announce.

The fanbase is lukewarm on him and his contract is up. Either we resign him to some groans or he takes an offer elsewhere and now we scratch our heads on why he would want to leave.

Be quiet and you can sell whatever happens as "what the team wanted to do." If you're gonna resign him just do it. Don't shake the beehive...

Well this encourages me to think we won't settle for anything but the best.

Hey, can I put my name in for that position?
by the way, what are the qualifications?

Surprising.

He seemed the perfect Ricky scapegoat (yeah, I drafted Carlson, but HE couldn't coach him up!)

That makes, what, THREE kickers/punters drafted by RS? How many are still on the team?

YIKES.

At the time, I think everyone was in agreement they had to move on from Carlson. Even Carlson said he had zero confidence that he could make kicks. What's puzzling to me is how quickly he overcame that with the Raiders after making some minor adjustments. Why was Priefer unable to identify that and help him make those same adjustments? Why have kickers continued to struggle on this team under his coaching? That alone would have made me look elsewhere before resigning him to a new contract so quickly.

Outside of the obvious kicking issues, when is the last time we ran a good fake punt. We got burnt on this several times this year.
Be less predictable. If we would have ran a fake punt this year, I would have probably just dropped over dead with shock.

Why are we resigning this guy? Haven't we suffered enough? This dude ruins kickers.

Not sure but you're probably qualified enough to beat out Priefer.

yawn, when the record keeps skipping and playing the same tune over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over again, people stop listening.
