I'm talking about the quality and quantity of coaches available to complete a staff?

Am hearing the Vikings are protecting some assistants to give KOC a choice on who to keep or not

We got 10 more days till the SB is played and just 8 weeks till the combine 

So not only do you have to find able bodies and minds, but you gotta align on type of players, position priorities etc. 

Its not going to be easy for KOC to get this thing off the ground. 

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

all but gauranteed.  I am sure they will anounce after the HC has been officially named

I hope we keep Dre. He is by all accounts a great coach. On the defensive side, he knows our players and has developed almost all of them. Wasn’t he the co-DC last year? Why shouldn’t he be DC?

He's certainly qualified, but I think it comes down to whether or not he wants it and, bigger still, whether or not the braintrust wants to continue with a Zimmer defense. 

As much as I like Dre, the timing seems right to install a new defense.

maybe he dips into the college ranks for some coaches. Does he have ties to any top football colleges?
