I like this one

Always seemed like preparation was huge strength of John DeFilippo's.
Gave QBs a 20-to-30 page test every Friday. Also said last week that he
took a leading role in halftime adjustments since he sat in the booth

He seems like the real deal. I can see why he was getting Head Coaching interviews.

I'm glad we didn't go with Macadoo or Bevell, got someone on a good trajectory.  Hope the dealings with Stefanski work,  got a hunch Deflippo is just passing through.  Would be nice to have continuity in the system, third oc and qb in three years not confidence  inspiring.

Yes, glad we passed on the retreads.  DeFillipno just seems to have some of that new way of thinking on offense, kind of like Zimmer on D.

The thing I would like to see him do is correct the flawed thinking that lead to changing two positions on the offensive line, when you have one player injured. Zimmer, Shurmur, or Sporano made the same call the past two seasons, and it was a mistake both times. As the offensive line goes, the Vikings will go. One player injured, plug in his back up.
