Insider: Vikings offensive assistant coach is nearing an extension
Insider: Vikings offensive assistant coach is nearing an extension The Vikings' ownership and front office have shown an affinity for continuity in recent years under the leadership of the Wilf Family. When some NFL teams have shown they cannot get out of their own way, the Vikings have emerged as one of the more stable franchises in the league. They show that by keeping their leadership in place with extensions for head coach Kevin O'Connell and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. From there, we can also look at promotions for various members within the front office who have helped build this talented roster. Now, eyes are turning towards the coaching staff. Ben Goessling of The Star Tribune spoke on his show Access Vikings and shared some details about a possible extension for offensive coordinator Wes Phillips. He added, 'It sounds like we may hear something in the not-too-distant future on the Wes Phillips front.' Wes Phillips is often forgotten about on the Vikings coaching staff and his coaching of the offense. Most the spotlight goes to Kevin O'Connell due to his background and playing career being a reason to give him his flowers. Last year when Sam Darnold had his breakout year, Phillips played a big role in that and it is likely why an extension is now being discussed. It is well earned and will help keep O'Connell's staff around for years to come.

Harrison Phillips: J.J. McCarthy reminds me of Josh Allen understanding power he has to lead
Defensive tackle Harrison Phillips had a front-row seat for quarterback Josh Allen's first few years in the league, as the two were in the same 2018 Bills draft class. Now with the Vikings, Phillips is watching the ascendance of another young quarterback in J.J. McCarthy. Phillips noted that he can see some parallels, which he talked about in a press conference earlier this week. 'I've commented before about [how] he came to me the week after his injury to try to learn more about the defense,' Phillips said, via Will Ragatz of 'Asking those great questions. He's really stepped up in the personal power role [this year]. In the locker room, I'm constantly seeing him go up to new guys, to new players, dapping each other up, sitting on the couches, and just having conversation. Where last year it was off to rehab, off to meetings. He understands that we have to build a family here and that you can't have unique results without unique relationships. 'And then man, he's got some confidence. And he reminds me of Josh Allen when I was with him in Buffalo, coming into his own and understanding the power that he has to lead this organization, and he's doing a fantastic job doing that.' McCarthy has a long way to go to get to a similar level of performance as the 2024 AP MVP. But that kind of name drop from Phillips illustrates that McCarthy is going about things the right way this offseason.
