I would have thought that the Vikings would officially announced Kevin O'Connell already. Was hoping to finally read the statement on Vikings web site but nothing, nada. Maybe this is normal, that it takes a few days to make it official in this type of situation (Hiring a HC from a team that plays in the SB). Maybe they are waiting for him to arrive this week and set up the presser.

I think they're giving the guy a chance to soak all this in with his team-mates and family?

I pointed out KOC on the sidelines last night during the game to my wife...She thought he looked to be in his 20's, not 37.

I think he looks 17
