Ya Let’s hold off on that Kevin O’Connell contract extension
Yeah, Sam Darnold shit to bed, but the Rams did the exact same thing defensively as Detroit did, and Kevin made no adjustments whatsoever. Just about every first read for Sam was 15 to 20 yards downfield just like it was in Detroit. He got beat at home by the Daniel Jones lead New York Giants - and got beat basically in another home game by an inferior team tonight. He was clearly out coached badly in all 3 games.
Oh well go Vikings!!
There’s probably like 5 people who are going to be upset when KOC gets resigned. It’s not a real big subset of fans. Just because people can see that KOC got outcoached in all four Lions and Rams games, doesn’t mean they’re ready to toss him into the sun.
He just needs to get better, and he’s probably our best option to become the guy that’s good enough.
A lot of people I hear talk about McVay and what he did in year 2 and then went .500 in year 3. That defense he got had center pieces to work with. Donald being a big one. Then trading for Ramsey that ultimately brought them a SB in 2021. The Rams also traded away two first round picks for Ramsey. So they made bold moves for their QB and CB.

I agree here. One thing that makes a coach great is his ability to adjust and make in game changes to counter what the opponent is doing. I haven't seen any of that with KOC dating back to our home playoff loss to Danny Dimes and the Giants. KOC is going to sink or swim running HIS offense and that's that. I think this aspect of coaching is especially important in the playoffs where every team is good. If the Vikings sign him to an extension now, they better hope this is something that changes going forward.

Reminds me of a particular defensive minded head coach.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?
