Karl Scott is Coming to Minneapolis

The former Alabama defensive backs coach will take the same position for the Vikings.

Houston native and former Alabama defensive backs coach Karl Scott has found a job up north in the great state of Minnesota. He will take over as the defensive backs coach for Daronte Jones, who after one season as a Viking, took the defensive coordinator job at LSU.

Scott has coached elite college defensive backs at Alabama like Patrick Surtain II, Trevon Diggs, and Xavier McKinney. He is an awesome addition to the defensive staff to coach our young corners like Mike Hughes, Cameron Dantzler, and Jeff Gladney.

Scott is a phenomenal hire for the Vikings to help coach up their young secondary and possibly turn Dantzler and Gladney into elite level guys that can lock down number one receivers across the league like Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill.
