The Minnesota Vikings reportedly liked what they saw in their first interview with Kansas City Chiefs executive director of player personnel Ryan Poles. NFL reporter Aaron Wilson posted on Wednesday, per a league source, that Poles had an “impressive” interview with the Vikings for the general manager job.
The 36-year-old executive would no doubt bring a breath of fresh air for a situation in Minnesota that was starting to get a bit stale.
Rick Spielman was the acting GM for the Vikings for a decade, while Mike Zimmer served as head coach for eight years. On one hand, it’s great to see ownership value stability over kneejerk reactions that would keep the team in a constant state of disarray.
