3 Expert Takes" State of NFC North
Vikings.com’s Mike Wobschall caught up with multiple NFL Media analysts to discuss the state of the team and the division.
The NFC North has undergone a considerable number of significant changes this offseason.
The Bears and Lions have new head coaches, and the Packers have a new general manager and two new coordinators.
Matt Nagy replaced John Fox in Chicago. He hired Mark Helfrich as offensive coordinator and retained Vic Fangio as defensive coordinator.
Matt Patricia replaced Jim Caldwell in Detroit. Patricia retained Jim Bob Cooter as offensive coordinator and hired Paul Pasqualoni as defensive coordinator.
Brian Gutekunst became the general manager in Green Bay, and Head Coach Mike McCarthy hired former NFL head coaches Joe Philbin and Mike Pettine to coordinate the Packers offense and defense, respectively.
The Vikings, fresh off their second division title in three seasons, filled the departure of Offensive Coordinator Pat Shurmur by hiring John DeFilippo.
Teams’ rosters also experienced changes during free agency.
With so much turnover in the division, Wobschall asked NFL Network’s Andrew Siciliano, James Jones and Cole Wright about the outlook for 2018.
