New York Giants wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert is reportedly a candidate for the Minnesota Vikings’ offensive coordinator vacancy.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Tolbert is set to interview for Minnesota’s offensive coordinator position, which became open after Gary Kubiak retired following the 2020 season.
Tolbert worked under Kubiak for two seasons when the pair were with the Denver Broncos, so hiring the Giants’ wide receivers coach could mean the same offense stays in place in Minnesota.
Tolbert served as the Broncos’ wide receivers coach from 2011 to 2017, while Kubiak was the head coach from 2015 to 2016. The pair also won a Super Bowl together.
Tolbert has been the Giants’ wide receivers coach since 2018 and survived the firing of former head coach, Pat Shurmur. He has become one of the more well-respected coaches at his position around the league over the years and is certainly deserving of consideration for the Vikings’ opening.
