Udinski previously spent three seasons with the Vikings from 2022-24, first as an assistant to the head coach/special projects in 2022 to then the assistant quarterbacks coach/chief of special projects in 2023. He was promoted once again to assistant offensive coordinator and assistant quarterbacks coach in 2024.
In his first season as assistant quarterbacks coach, the Vikings finished in the top 10 in the NFL in passing yards per game, fourth-down percentage, passing yards per play and first downs per game. He also helped navigate the 2023 season with four different starting quarterbacks, the most in franchise history, due to a season-ending injury to QB Kirk Cousins in Week 8.
Then during the 2024 season, the Vikings’ offense finished top 10 in the NFL in multiple categories including sixth in passing yards per game at 237.8 yards, seventh in passing yards per play at 7.38 yards, ninth in points per game at 25.4 and 10th in first downs per game at 20.8. QB Sam Darnold finished the regular season fifth in the NFL with 4,319 passing yards and 35 passing touchdowns, and sixth in passer rating at 102.5. Darnold became the first quarterback in NFL history to record 14 wins in his first season with a team and the winningest quarterback in a single season in Vikings history.
