Vikings Looking At KOC
So....I guess the “Michigan Alum” Jim Stapleton who is part of the Vikings ownership group gets to keep Harbaugh with Michigan.
CONGRATS....
You get to keep your coach in Michigan, because you intimidated the Wilf’s....and the Vikings get a “thirty something” OC who looks good in board shorts to fix our shitty defense, cutting his teeth in the NFL.
We had a chance to get a “proven winner” in the NFL, and we go with Doogie Howser.
I am thrilled Harbaugh is out.
First big decision by Kwesi and I like it. I wanted a guy from the Offensive side of the ball.

I am right with you! They were my two favorites and the thought of seeing Harbaugh in purple was nauseating to me. I just cracked open a cold one to celebrate!

If this is true, wow. The Vikings are either much smarter or much dumber than I thought they were. Please be the former.

@"Kentis" said: So, did he accept? Hope he doesn’t prefer Jacksonville… ;)Not official until after the Super Bowl, but they told Graham and Morris they were out.
Let the era of KOC begin.
Long may he reign.
@"kmillard" said: Harbaugh definitely had me intrigued, but I am Happy about this. OC is the guy I wanted once the names started coming out. Feels like we might have got the next great young coach. My fandom has been refreshed!Me too!
As much as I could buy into the rationale for a more tenured HC to pair with KAM, I'm super jazzed about a Kwesi/OC partnership.
Bright, young minds out in Eagan.
So Harbaugh returns to Ann Arbor and Kevin O’Connell — soon — is expected to head to Minnesota.
I dont see anyone complaing that he does not call plays :p
Just saying

@"JustinTime18™" said:He has over three years experience as OC and also worked with Cousins before so that’s a bonus.Kevin O'Connell is 36. Kwesi Adofo-Mensah is 40. This is a new era in Minnesota with a young, first-time head coach pairing up with a young, first-time GM. The focus will be on collaboration, culture, and leadership as they look to build a team that can contend for Super Bowls.

Get that guy in the proper attire…! ;) B)
The #Vikings met with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh for 9 hours today, but the team didn’t make an offer, per source.

You all understand this increases the likelihood of Cousins staying.
KOC was Kirk’s QB coach with “the team formerly known as Redskins” in what 2017?
....still celebrating the hire?
and we are doing what exactly to address the fact that we cant keep a team from scoring less than 30 points a game?
• Limited play calling experience — just 10 games in 2017, coincidentally Kirk's worst year
• As a green up-and-comer, unclear what kind of leadership he brings or culture he'll be able to build
• Defense has the potential to be catastrophic. DC hire will be key
10 games of play calling. More than I thought.
