The Vikings have hired Norv Turner as their new OC. He'll run the offense under defensive-minded HC Mike Zimmer. Turner has had mixed results as a HC but is highly-regarded as a play-caller. He helped Browns WR Josh Gordon and TE Jordan Cameron to breakout seasons this past year. Turner favors a run-first attack and a vertical passing game. He also likes to get his TEs involved in the aerial attack. His arrival is good news for RB Adrian Peterson, WR Cordarrelle Patterson and TE Kyle Rudolph. Of course, Minnesota still needs to find an answer at TE.
