The Minnesota Vikings might finally put an end to the co-defensive coordinator label with news of Ed Donatell now emerging as the favorite to land the job.
According ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Donatell was expected to join the Seattle Seahawks as a defensive assistant, but the team is now preparing to lose him.
“Ed Donatell has emerged as the favorite or the Vikings defensive coordinator position, sources tell @DanGrazianoESPN and me,” Fowler posted on Twitter. “Seattle – which was hiring him as a defensive assistant – is now bracing to lose him. New coach Kevin O’Connell getting plenty of experience on defense.”
