This comes just hours after Seattle Seahawks assistant Sean Desai said no to the Vikings and pulled out of the race for defensive coordinator.
The Vikings have interviewed four candidates for the job so far, but Evero has the most connections to the organization. He was with Kwesi Adofo-Mensah in San Francisco and Kevin O’Connell in Los Angeles with the Rams.
