ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier has his first interview lined up, with the Denver Broncos.

The Broncos, who fired longtime coach Mike Shanahan, are not the only team looking for a head coach this offseason. Here's the list of moves. ** Story ...**
Frazier will meet with Broncos officials on Wednesday about their head coaching vacancy. The Detroit Lions are also arranging an interview, likely later this week.
Other teams with interest in Frazier are the St. Louis Rams and the New York Jets. Frazier interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins last year, after his first of two seasons running the Vikings' defense.
Frazier's playing experience and Super Bowl title with the Chicago Bears in the 1980s as well as his assistant coaching stints with four NFL teams have made him a hot candidate to be a head coach. The Vikings led the league in rushing defense both years under him.
