'''Norse Code Episode 268: Too Many Cooks''' was an offseason episode focusing on the Minnesota Vikings' coaching staff changes and additions.

== Overview ==
This episode covered the Vikings' extensive coaching hires under new offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski, including the addition of Gary Kubiak as offensive adviser and his son Klint as quarterback coach. The hosts discussed whether the multiple coaching additions might create a "too many cooks in the kitchen" scenario similar to previous unsuccessful coordinator arrangements.

== Segments ==
; Opening : Coaching hire announcements
; Coaching Analysis : Discussion of new offensive staff additions
; Mailbag : Extensive listener questions covering draft prospects, team moves, and pop culture

== Mailbag Questions ==
* Matt Beckendorf - What kicker do you guys like in round 5 in this years draft?
* Ian Paulli - Is there anything that you think might happen before free agency (surprise cut, trade, etc...) that no one is really expecting?
* Ryan - With Kubiak driving the boat, do we see more drives with Run, run run, kick as their standard design?
* Luke Braun - What kind of WR coaches are out there that the Vikings could take now that Darell Hazell isn't returning? Is he a big loss? After all he presided over the most dominant iterations of Diggs and Thielen.
* The Only Rice - Do you see Murray back next season or will Boone and Roc step up and another late rounder/udfa compete for 2nd and 3rd?
* Cory Ruegg - What deal would you try to make happen if we had to trade one of the following players? Thielen, Diggs, Hunter, or Cook? Would it make the team as a while better?
* Logan - Have you heard anything about the NFL/nflpa wanting to changed drug use policy in light of the legalization of rec/medical marijuana?
* Kenneth Allen - Which NFCN teams gained the most or lost the most in the coaching shuffles? Should we be worried about a renaissance from the Green Bay LaRodgeurs? How big of a loss is Fangio to the Bears?
* Bryan Jellerson - Did the Wilfs and Spielman forget that the most important part of the Kubiak combo pack they ordered is retired and does Nationwide commercials?
* Josh Swedlund - Do you think Jake Gyllenhaal will make a convincing Mysterio in Spider-Man Far From Home?
* ZenCupid - Why didn't Enter the Spiderverse use Ben Reilly/Scarlet Spider?
* Bill Bottke - Could Kirk Cousins succeed with more pre-snap audible control similar to Peyton Manning's approach under Gary Kubiak in Denver?
* Kyle Slaybee - Anime Question: Are you a sub-purist, or a dub-reliant watcher?
* Don From Ohio - Are there any LBs available in the 1st round for the Vikings to draft to replace Barr?
