The Minnesota Vikings have only had 10 coaches in their storied 62-year history as they have been a team that has seen stability at the position. They also haven’t seen a lot of success from their first-year head coaches. Most of their first-year coaches are coming off the heels of their predecessors getting fired.
Head coach Kevin O’Connell is in that same group. Mike Zimmer struggled massively at the end of his tenure and O’Connell was inheriting somewhat of a mess. Expectations were all over the place across the media and throughout the fanbase and O’Connell has met them in droves.
