With the first round BYE through the Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs, there are a handful of candidates within the walls of Winter Park who are interviewing for coaching vacancies throughout the league. We've seen George Edwards interview with candidates, Pat Shurmur with candidates, both of which even interviewed for vacancies within the division at Chicago and Detroit.
But then this happened...
The Packers ousted GM Ted Thompson after the season this year and according to Adam Schefter they requested permission to interview Vikings assistant General Manager George Paton for their GM vacancy...BUT THE VIKINGS DECLINED!
This is awesome and it just adds to the lore surrounding the rivalry between the Vikings and the Packers!
