Vikings Have No Word Yet On Replacement For Kevin Warren

The Vikings had no immediate word on an interim or long-term replacement for departing COO Kevin Warren, who was named Big Ten Commissioner today. Warren will begin at the conference in September after 14 years with the Vikings. Team co-Owners Mark and Zygi Wilf said in a statement, "We will work with Kevin and the Vikings management team over the next three months to help us through this transition and process how we want to move forward." Vikings officials declined a request to elaborate on the replacement process.

Warren advised the Wilf ownership group on their purchase of the Vikings as a lawyer at Greenberg Traurig from '03-05, and later, as COO, oversaw the development of U.S. Bank Stadium and TCO Performance Center.
