Vikings Reportedly Hiring Chris Rumph as Defensive Line CoachThe Vikings are expected to hire Chris Rumph as their new defensive line coach under defensive coordinator Ed Donatell, according to Pro Football Network's Aaron Wilson.
Rumph was the Bears' defensive line coach last season and got some great results out of a unit that dealt with several injuries to key players. Robert Quinn had 18.5 sacks for Chicago, which also got strong play out of a variety of defensive linemen. Before that, Rumph was the outside linebackers coach for the Texans in 2020.
Prior to spending the past two seasons in the NFL, Rumph was a successful D-line coach at the major college level for nearly two decades. From 2003 to 2019, he had stints at Memphis, Clemson, Alabama, Texas, Florida, and Tennessee, winning a ton of games and helping develop players and prepare them for the NFL. The former South Carolina linebacker got his start in coaching as a GA at SC and then spent five years as the head coach of the high school he attended.

think they wanted someone familiar with the 3-4, which is what the Bears have been running.
Love McCardell staying. He was the Jaguars' Cris Carter as a player and it seems he can pass on the knowledge.
This is great news...
For the obvious reasons of how AT/JJ speak about him - but also the development we started to see in the even younger players as the year progressed.
McCardell staying is HUGE. Glad they worked something out
