No kidding. Just reading that article makes us all dumber. "Not signing him last year could prove costly". To who? The owners have nearly unlimited NFL cash. It's not like there is a coaching salary cap. Much ado about nothing. He's not gonna leave a choice situation for some unknown that wouldn't pay him any better than the purple.

#Vikings DL Harrison Phillips on the coach of the year award: “It seems like a no brain decision to me that KO should be the coach of the year... When he speaks, he commands the room. I think he’s one of the best play designers that’s ever lived.”

KOC deserves Coach of the Year. The evidence piled up on his side is overwhelming. And that same evidence argues against Sam Darnold for MVP. Not sure if that was ever really a debate or not, but KOC, Jefferson, Addison, TJH--all those things argue against Sam.

that same Darnold calculus applies to Purdy too...
All of a sudden you arent breaking out of game manager/system label if your life depended on it.
I'm not putting either of those guys in the Mahomes/Allen/Jackson tier, but Darnold may not be far behind those 3. He maybe next in line in the NFL QB hierarchy if he could replicate this year a few times.
Jalen Hurts and Burrows would be up there too imo.

I don’t know where this weird fear that good people are going to abandon us comes from. The literal normal timeline of a contract extension in the NFL is that if you care about keeping them, you don’t let them play out their last year of their contract, you extend them one year early. We literally haven’t gotten to one year early and people are talking about this like we’re negligent. Like how many coaches can you name that abandoned the team they built? It’s not many. Is it just Payton and Harbaugh in recent years?
Why is this opinion article writer talking about the offseason, when we’re going to be playing in the biggest regular season game in history this Sunday and then hopefully going on a playoff run. There’s a million possible stories out there. Why prematurely worry about the most successful version of this team in this century not doing something they’re definitely are going to do anyway when the time is appropriate for it.
