Last night, I said that it looked like the Minnesota Vikings were done losing assistant coaches for the offseason. It appears that I may have spoken a bit too soon.<\/p>\n
According to veteran NFL beat writer Mark Kaboly, the Pittsburgh Steelers have reportedly tabbed Vikings passing game coordinator and tight ends coach Brian Angelichio to be the new offensive coordinator on Mike McCarthy\u2019s staff, and the deal could become official as early as Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Angelichio has been with the Vikings since Kevin O\u2019Connell was hired by the team in 2022. He\u2019s been a tight ends coach in the National Football League since 2012, having served in that capacity with five other teams (Tampa Bay, Cleveland, Green Bay, Washington, and Carolina). During his season in Washington in 2019, he worked with O\u2019Connell, and that connection undoubtedly played a role in helping him get the job when O\u2019Connell came to Minnesota.<\/p>\n
Angelichio has not been an offensive coordinator at any level in over 20 years. He served in that capacity at Ithaca College for six seasons from 2000 to 2005. Following that, he\u2019s been exclusively a tight ends coach before adding the passing game coordinator title when he came to Minnesota.<\/p>\n
So, it appears that the Vikings are going to have another spot on the coaching staff to fill after all. Once we get word of who they intend to add, we\u2019ll bring that news to you here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last night, I said that it looked like the Minnesota Vikings were done losing assistant coaches for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":728065,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2073],"tags":[7,233,259,100098,1312,2529,6,234],"class_list":{"0":"post-728064","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-minnesota-vikings","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-minnesota","10":"tag-minnesota-vikings","11":"tag-minnesota-vikings-2026-offseason","12":"tag-minnesota-vikings-news","13":"tag-minnesotavikings","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-vikings"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116010756544833995","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=728064"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728064\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/728065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=728064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=728064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=728064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
