The Minnesota Vikings have lost another assistant coach to an NFC rival, but it was a loss that was anticipated and his replacement is already a part of the Vikings’ coaching staff.
Defensive line coach Marcus Dixon has agreed to take on the same role with the Dallas Cowboys. His contract ended after the season, and the Vikings brought in his replacement when they signed veteran defensive line coach Ryan Nielsen late last week as part of a handful of coaching moves.
Dixon had been a part of the Vikings’ coaching staff for the past two seasons, and prior to that filled the same role with the Denver Broncos. He played for seven seasons in the National Football League, coming into the league as an undrafted free agent in 2008. During his career, he spent time with Dallas, the New York Jets, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Tennessee Titans.
Again, this was seen as an anticipated move by Dixon, as the Vikings had already brought in his replacement with the expectation that he was going to move on. I believe the Vikings now have a full coaching staff and there haven’t been any rumors of any members of their staff looking to depart that I’m aware of, so they may be done with their coaching moves for this offseason. If that changes, however, we’ll bring any news of the changes to you as soon as we have it.
