Childress Taps Stewart as Wide Receivers Coach
Minnesota Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress named George Stewart their new wide receivers coach Wednesday, replacing Darrell Wyatt in what was a weak spot for the team this season.
Stewart spent the last four seasons coaching the Atlanta Falcons wide receivers. He was with the San Francisco 49ers from 2000 to 2002, when Terrell Owens averaged 97 receptions and earned Pro Bowl berths in each season.
Stewart has also been a part of playoff teams in Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Atlanta. This will be his 25th season of coaching, and 19th in the NFL.
In college, he coached Minnesota’s offensive line in 1984 and 1985 under Lou Holtz, then moved with Holtz to Notre Dame, where Stewart coached the linebackers and was part of the undefeated 1988 national championship team.
