Vikings Name Alan Williams Defensive Coordinator, Brendan Daly D-Line Coach

Found January 19, 2012 on The Viking Age:
PLAYERS: Leslie Frazier
TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota-vikings
The Vikings filled two coaching staff holes on Thursday, naming Alan Williams defensive coordinator and Brendan Daly defensive line coach. Williams replaces Fred Pagac who was demoted from defensive coordinator last week and is apparently still mulling taking back his old linebackers coach job. Daly steps in for Karl Dunbar who was (somewhat surprisingly) canned a couple of weeks ago. Most fans seem indifferent at best to Alan Williams, a 10-year DB coach who has no defensive coordinator experience. Williams is presumably being brought in mainly because, as a DB coach, he understands coverages better than Pagac. Williams also has plenty of experience with Leslie Frazier’s beloved Cover-2. In other words, don’t expect much to change with the defensive scheme in 2012. Williams may bring some tweaks but mostly it will be the same-old same-old, just better-executed (hopefully). … [visit site to read more] Vikings Name Alan Williams Defensive Coordinator, Brendan Daly ...
