Vikings next head coach odds: Who is interviewing

After the regular season came to an end on Jan. 10, the Minnesota Vikings decided to part ways with head coach Mike Zimmer and general manager Rick Spielman. The Vikings along with multiple teams are looking for new head coaches heading into next season. Below we are going to look at who Minnesota has interviewed and the latest head coaching odds, per DraftKings Sportsbook.

Reported interviews, interview requests

January 29 update: We can add Jim Harbaugh to the list of candidates the Vikings are talking to. According to a report from The Detroit News, Minnesota is speaking to the Michigan coach who was previously in the NFL with the 49ers.

As of January 23, Minnesota has interviewed Todd Bowles, Jonathan Gannon, Nathaniel Hackett, Raheem Morris, Kevin O’Connell, and Dan Quinn.

Pederson is currently the odds-on favorite to win the job at +400. The 52-year-old spent five seasons as the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles (2016-20). Pederson led the Eagles to their first Super Bowl win in franchise history in 2017.

However, Philadelphia parted ways with Pederson after the 2020 season and hired Nick Sirianni to be the next head coach. The Vikings have reportedly requested an interview with Pederson.

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinators Eric Bieniemy is tied with Pederson for the best odds. Bieniemy has yet to interview for the Vikings’ head coaching vacancy. He has spent the last four seasons (2018-21) as the offensive coordinator in Kansas City and before that was the running back coaches for four seasons.
