Coaching staff interviews are happening, but...

So I guess if we choose Mike Shula 2.0 to be one of our other coaches, I guess he'll blame that on "missed opportunities?"

Or Gettleman being too cheap and only allowing taking out potential candidates to lunch at McDonalds.

Did not read that as he is deferring to his staff.  Nothing wrong with getting input IMO.  

There's different approaches to take, some more authoritative than others. Personally, these type of decisions I'd rather have consultation. On the field decisions, not as much.

i get the impression that most of you have never gone through the process of hiring someone, and i don't mean a cashier at mcdonald's. try it sometime, then come back and comment in this thread.

yes, you can hire someone quickly. but unless you want to be hiring someone to replace them 6 months later, you better take your time.

I'm not against collaboration. I just couldn't tell you of a single coach I've ever heard of taking this approach.

But in the end, however it happens, I just hope we end up making the right hires.

Rivera added that the team had just finished conducting interviews for the vacancies at secondary coach and receivers coach after the promotion of Steve Wilks to defensive coordinator and the retirement of Ricky Proehl. He added that there would likely be a decision late in the week after he has a chance to meet with his staff.

No mention of QB coach.

I have done it.  hired two employees quickly after one interview because I knew they were a fit.  this was 5 years ago.  they are still with the company and doing well.  some people have the ability to make quick decisions that are good.  Ron is not one of these people, and that's fine.  everyone has their process, the only thing that matters is the result.

Early on in his time here, Rivera hired two or three coaches that he wound up firing a year later.

Don't know whether he's changed his processes any since then.

    • Per Bill Barnwell  Vikings bring back a familiar face Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen Panthers get: 2026 sixth-round pick, 2027 seventh-round pick A reunion between Thielen and his former team seems too easy. The Vikings are struggling with injuries at wide receiver and a potential Jordan Addison suspension. The Panthers want to see what they have with their younger wideouts, and Hunter Renfrow's emergence in camp as a potential fourth or fifth option could squeeze a roster spot for Thielen, who doesn't play special teams. The problem is Thielen's $6.25 million base salary. The Vikings obviously would prefer the Panthers cut the 34-year-old and pick him up for free, but Carolina already paid Thielen a $1.5 million roster bonus earlier in the offseason, suggesting it expected to have him. His salary isn't yet guaranteed, but it will become so if he's on the roster in Week 1, leaving the Panthers until then to make a decision. If he does get released, he isn't likely to get anything close to $6.25 million from another team, so he also is facing some uncertainty. All sides involved probably would need to give a bit to make a mutually advantageous deal work. The Panthers would eat $1.5 million of Thielen's contract, getting two of the three picks the Vikings got from the Jets in the Harrison Phillips trade in return. Thielen would take a $1 million pay cut in return for having the remaining $3.8 million guaranteed. The Vikings cleared out almost exactly that much when they made the Phillips trade, allowing them to absorb what's left of Thielen's contract as part of the deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46053274/nfl-preseason-trades-2025-team-offers-players-draft-picks-contracts
    • From JoeBucsFan. Teams don't usually waste 2nd round picks like that. Kind of sounds like they think he just doesn't belong in the NFL.
