Despite his poor record as a head coach, Hue Jackson looks like he’ll have no shortage of opportunities to find a new job this offseason.
His newest potential landing spot is in Minnesota, where CBS Sports’s Jason La Canfora reports that Jackson could replace Kevin Stefanski as the Vikings’ offensive coordinator.
Say what you will about Hugh Jackson but the man has options. He's a candidate for HC with the Bengals and could stay there as OC. Wiith Kevin Stefanski out of contract w/ Vikings and pursuing HC and OC options, I'm told Jackson reuniting with Mike Zimmer in Minnesota is possible

Jackson and Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer are known to be close. They were both coordinators for the Atlanta Falcons in 2007, and also worked on the same Cincinnati Bengals staff in 2012 and 2013.
There have also been rumors linking Jackson to another head coaching job. That would take precedence, so this is likely a fallback plan if he doesn’t get any of those opportunities.
