The Vikes are apparently cool with being shut out every week
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/vikings-target-turner-offensive-coordinator-155023880--nfl.htmlThe Minnesota Vikings have targeted Norv Turner as the offensive coordinator under new coach Mike Zimmer.
Turner told The Associated Press in a brief phone interview Thursday that he and Zimmer have been talking about the job. Turner said nothing was finalized yet.
''Hopefully it works out,'' Turner said.
Zimmer was hired Wednesday, and he's acting quickly on assembling his staff. All of the Vikings assistants under coach Leslie Frazier, who was fired Dec. 30, have one year left on their contracts, but new coaches almost always bring in their own. General manager Rick Spielman's stated goal was to picking Frazier's replacement prior to the Senior Bowl, and practices for the annual college all-star game in Mobile, Ala., start early next week. For coaching staffs and personnel evaluators around the league, the event is a valuable part of the pre-draft evaluation process.
