Being the Vikings defensive coordinator is quite a career move.Just a year after Mike Tomlin used one year as the Vikings defensive coordinator to leapfrog to the Steelers head coaching job, Leslie Frazier could land another plum coaching job.
According to Pro Football Talk, ESPN's Chris Mortensen is reporting that Frazier would be one of the favorites to replace Tony Dungy in Indianapolis if Dungy decides to retire after the Colts disappointing second-round playoff exit.
Frazier has already interviewed in Miami, but that might have been just a Rooney Rule move since the Dolphins are expected to hire Cowboys assistant Tony Sparano. Frazier was the special assistant to Dungy and defensive backs coach during the Colts Super Bowl run last year, so the Colts are well versed in Frazier's skills.
The crazy thing about all these rumors is that neither Tomlin or Frazier really built dominant defenses in Minnesota. But Tomlin's solid head coaching debut should help reassure teams that Frazier is ready after one year as a coordinator.
