Ron English interviewing for Vikings vacancy
University of Michigan defensive coordinator Ron English is interviewing for the Vikings vacancy today with coach Brad Childress, Adam Schein of Sirius NFL Radio reports.
English was the defensive coordinator of the Wolverines last season, and he was the secondary coach for two seasons before that.
He served as the secondary coach for the Seattle Seahawks in 2003.
Schein said that English is the front-runner for the job, if they can agree to a contract.
Last year, English agreed to become the Chicago Bears defensive backs coach, but backed out when Wolverines head coach Lloyd Carr offered him the defensive coordinator position. English is thought to be a potential replacement for Carr at Michigan.
The timing of this is curious since National Signing Day is Wednesday.
For instance, several high-profile high school students already have verbally committed to Michigan.
In fact, Boubacar Cissoko, a junior at Detroit's Cass Tech High School, mentioned English by name in a recent report.
"Ron English said I could come in and have a chance to start," Cissoko told the Ann Arbor News. "I want a chance to play."
