    The Minnesota Vikings hired Bill Musgrave as offensive coordinator Wednesday.

    The Vikings beat out the Browns for Musgrave's services. League sources told ESPN's senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen that Cleveland offered Musgrave the same job and assured him he would eventually assume play-calling duties from new head coach Pat Shurmur.

    The Browns aggressively pursued Musgrave, attempting to lure him to Cleveland even while he was interviewing with new Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier, the sources said.

    With Musgrave out of the picture, the Browns have turned their attention to former University of Miami offensive coordinator and Steelers quarterback coach Mark Whipple, league sources told ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.

    The Vikings also officially announced Wednesday that Mike Singletary was joining the team as linebackers coach and assistant head coach.
