The Minnesota Vikings and head coach Kevin O’Connell are continuing to reshape the team's coaching staff, hiring former Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith as assistant head coach and Keith Carter as offensive line coach, per Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Frank Smith arrives in Minnesota after a successful stint in Miami working under Mike McDaniel. In his new role, Smith is expected to provide significant support for the Vikings offense, specifically assisting with the unit's run game planning. The move adds a veteran coordinator to O'Connell's staff as the team looks to evolve its offensive scheme.
In addition to Smith, the team has brought in Keith Carter to lead the offensive line. Carter's hiring is part of a broader effort by O'Connell to remodel his coaching staff and improve the team's performance in the trenches. These additions represent key steps in the Vikings' offseason restructuring process.
