Ian Rapoport@RapSheet·1hFrom NFL Now: The #Vikings and coach Kevin O'Connell continue to work out a deal, as the delay (if it's even a delay) has nothing to do with the #Rams. The plan is for a press conference Thursday, so he doesn't have to fly back and forth with the parade in between.

Chris Tomasson@christomasson·1h

Darrin Brown, who was #Vikings Kevin O’Connell’s Calif HS coach “He always carried himself well & was such an outstanding adult student, mature. Always a leader. So kids looked up to him. Always had that smile. He was great in the classroom. Great on the field. Positive attitude"

Brown would further say "I had him in 7th period home economics. Kid could wisk an egg like nobody else. Great wrist action which transferred over to the football field"

I think a nice tidbit that many didn't know was Minnesota could NOT discuss or negotiate his contract before the Super Bowl. They had to wait, so between that formality and him wanting to be part of the LA parade, there you have it. ProFootballTalk.com ran with it, of course....that's what they do. Complete and utter whores for the clicks.

Peter Schrager@PSchrags·14hWhen Kevin O’Connell starts his first day as the Vikings HC (soon, I promise), it’ll be the latest a new hire has begun the job since Frank Reich took over in Indianapolis on February 11, 2018.

I could see this coming 3 weeks ago.

I'm not going to be chicken little about it, but it really puts that young staff and front office behind the 8 ball this year. 

FA is what? 3 weeks away? And they dont have one defensive coach on the staff working with scouting to acquire the right players for the right system. We could go on and on from that.  

Gotta hope they have a bit of lady-luck looking out for them this season.

This is where the NFL protocols for new hires aren't right. I may say just the opposite if I was a Rams or Bengals fan too lol!  :p
