NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora reports that the Vikings asked for permission to interview Colts defensive backs coach Alan Williams for the vacant defensive coordinator job.

The Vikings new defensive coordinator Alan Williams said next year's Vikings will become champions by doing "ordinary things better than anyone else." He also said the main thing that drew him to Minnesota was the opportunity work again with Leslie Frazier.

The Washington Post reports that Raheem Morris turned down an offer to become the Vikings' defensive coordinator. Morris verbally agreed to become the Redskins defensive backs coach before interviewing with Minnesota, and he didn't want to go back on his agreement.

Fred Pagac hasn't been given his walking papers just yet, but at least four candidates have surfaced to replace him as the Vikings' defensive coordinator.

Vikings defensive coordinator Fred Pagac has been relieved of his duties, according to a Pioneer Press report. Pagac, however, has reportedly been offered a job coaching the linebackers.
