Minnesota has had plenty of changes to its coaching staff and front office this offseason. The Vikings made some of those changes official on Monday.
The team announced that it has hired Josh Hingst to be the Vikings’ Head Strength and Conditioning Coach. Minnesota also announced that Ryan Ficken was promoted to special teams coordinator. Ficken’s hire has been reported by numerous outlets already, so it doesn’t exactly come as a shock.
Hingst was the Eagles’ strength and conditioning coach for eight seasons before coming to the Vikings. Ficken on the other hand, was an in-house hire: he finished up his 14th season with Minnesota in 2020. He spent eight of those as the Vikings’ assistant special teams coach.
Minnesota still needs to find an offensive coordinator this offseason after Gary Kubiak announced his retirement. So Vikings fans can expect even more changes to come in what has been a turbulent offseason already.
