The Minnesota Vikings have requested permission from the Jacksonville Jaguars to interview interim head coach Mel Tucker for a defensive coordinator position, Jeremy Fowler of the Pioneer Press reports. Current Vikings defensive coordinator Fred Pagac will be replaced, but could remain on the staff, likely as a linebackers coach. Tucker was 2-3 as the interim head coach and remains a candidate for the Jaguars' full-time head coaching position. The list of head coaching candidates the Jaguars have assembled are heavy on the offensive side of the ball and the team is reportedly interested in retaining Tucker as defensive coordinator. Under Tucker, the Jaguars ranked sixth in total defense in 2011 and were 11th in scoring defense.
