It's so easy to see Coach O'Connell having a tenure with the Vikings similar to a Tomlin or Belicheck, in regards to longevity. He'll constantly win 10 plus games a year, and have us very competitive in the postseason. I couldn't be happier with him & Kwesi running this Team!! 💜💜
Clear coach of the year. Dont get how it’s even a question. Vikings win total projection was 6.5 and they were picked to finish last in the division by every pundit. Dan Campbell is a good coach but the Lions were the consensus favorite in the NFC before the season. Yeah they had injuries but it’s not like those injuries all happened together in week 1
I also think Dan Campbell's risk taking has gotten to the point of being reckless. He seems incapable of adjusting his gameplan and coaching style to accommodate for the players he has. He's a great coach, don't get me wrong, but I don't think he's top 3 the way people act.
They've been very clear ever since they've been here that they don't negotiate contract extensions during the season. They're waiting for the off season.
KOC gets it. It's not just the message, but also how it's delivered that matters. That's a big part of why there's such a great culture at Minnesota. I hope KOC stays here a long time.
I’m a lifelong Vikings Fan since the Purple People Eaters. I’m 74 years old and lived thru years of PAIN. To the Packers Fan, We always might have disliked the Packers but always Respected Brett Farve, Aron Roger’s. If the Vikings didn’t win I always wanted a team from the NFC North to win. I am incredibly happy for The Lions, they suffered thru far too many years of pain. This is for the Packers Fab. NFC North
People forget Mike Tomlin was the Vikings Defensive coordinator and he could have been the Vikings head coach...all of the coaches we let go back then all became head coaches and won Superbowls!
Right! Tomlin and Dungy where talents we just let walk out of the building and have both fantastic coaches. We have never had a head coach on this level since Grant. He will be in Minnesota for Decades.
I don’t usually insert anything political into a sports segment so apologies in advance but, in all honesty I’d vote for Koch he’s such an inspiring and motivational leader it’s contagious. Great questions and answers also, learned a lot about who Coach is. His humility makes it even better.
Vikings vs Bills in the superdome it would all come full circle and we would have a chance to wipe out that terrible beating favre took in '09 and smash the championship drought out with the first super bowl win in the Minnesota Vikings history #SKOL2THEBOWL 🏆
Loved his messaging and personality from the jump...but Viking fans know his play-calling has improved significantly. Especially now staying more aggressive late in games.
Vikings ownership wisely got rid of curmudgeon Zimmer ! Made a Great Hire of KOC and Defensive Flores ! Great Chemistry Hope KOC gets Coach of the Year. Love how he would vote Dan Campbell or Mike Tomlin. ! Agree Lions n Vikings end of year match up will be a barn burning 🔥 most watched Game !! Either way I win because I love both Teams !
I hear you, and any realistic and long term Viking fan should feel the same way. Looking at the next three games, losing to any or all of those teams would not be shocking. I’m super proud of this team, but we’re a pretty-good (not great) team who is over-achieving because of great coaching, a super positive environment, and constant and consistent effort by the players. It’s been a fun season, and I hope it continues!
I cried when the Vikings lost to the Chiefs in SB IV. I lost my mind when Anderson missed the FG knowing the season was over. As I watched them win their 4th game by at least 17 I thought, "they're going to lose their next four games". So Buddy, there's at least two of us.
@ Yep, I watched all four SB losses. The most painful to me, though was the NFC Championship loss to the Falcons. We were far and away the best team in the league that year. The SB years, maybe not so much.
This dude is going to be in the NFL for a long time.
this is gonna be our coach for the next decade… super bowls to come
He's going to be a top 5 coach in NFL history when he retires.
It's so easy to see Coach O'Connell having a tenure with the Vikings similar to a Tomlin or Belicheck, in regards to longevity. He'll constantly win 10 plus games a year, and have us very competitive in the postseason. I couldn't be happier with him & Kwesi running this Team!! 💜💜
@@maxdaniel439you’d think.
@@JesusSaves373this is a prayer.
He seems like an incredible leader and coach to play for. Minnesota is lucky
It’s definitely not lost on us fans. We feel incredibly fortunate. Great GM too, so far. Future looks bright here in MN.
Love KOC! Blessesed to have you be our coach!
Owners love him, players love him, fans love him. Special, special, dude.
Coach of the Year, and I hope the coach of the super bowl winning Vikings
Even if not this year, don’t think we’ll have to wait too long!
Ditto
He has brought a locker room together unlike any Vikings Coach EVER

LOL😊
This is the guy that'll get Minnesota its first Championship!
Mr Wilf, what are you waiting for!!? Sign this man to a 10 year.
They've been very clear ever since they've been here that they don't negotiate contract extensions during the season. They're waiting for the off season.
Mark my words, this man WILL bring a SB home to the great, and HUNGRY, state if Minnesota!! Skol!💜💜💯
As a lifelong Packer fan I am obliged to passionately hate the Vikings, but I do like this guy. First time I've heard him interviewed.
To quote Grossi...." You're our rivals and we hate you. . :0)"
kinda makes ya think.
Lifetime contract please Vikings 🙏. Best coach I’ve ever seen SKOL 💜
Good luck KOC 🤞the rest of the year 🍀and playoffs !!
Best coach in the league. You are a class act KOC
So thankful for this man
Remember this everybody: KOC still spends one hour of week doing 1:1 time with JJ McCarthy. Not an insignificant investment.
Bud Grants adopted son right there
KOC, making it look easy. Quarterback whisperer.
that's exactly what he is.
Good interview
I cannot believe this guy this head coach of my favorite team. It has been long time coming! Skol!!
KOC gets it. It's not just the message, but also how it's delivered that matters. That's a big part of why there's such a great culture at Minnesota. I hope KOC stays here a long time.
Best coach in the NFL

@@toxicviking5354 people also forget that Belichek was kept at New England til he signed. He was on his way to Minny for head coaching job
KOC is the obvious choice for coach of the year. No one expected a 12-2 start for the Vikings this year.
That's my coach!
I don’t usually insert anything political into a sports segment so apologies in advance but, in all honesty I’d vote for Koch he’s such an inspiring and motivational leader it’s contagious. Great questions and answers also, learned a lot about who Coach is. His humility makes it even better.
Correct me if I'm wrong.. wasn't O'Connell not yet in the league when Brady tore his knee?
It was KOC’s rookie year (2008) when Brady tore his ACL
@FightsFan748 Upon looking it up, yeah, that's true, I swore he was a 2009 draft pick for some reason, but I was wrong.
Coach of the year for Sure
Best coach we've had since Bud Grant.
SO glad we landed him. Harbaugh would not have had this culture. KOC WILL lead Minnesota to their first SB win 👍🏼
Will be interesting to see if they do adjust there plan this offseason
Vikings vs Bills in the superdome it would all come full circle and we would have a chance to wipe out that terrible beating favre took in '09 and smash the championship drought out with the first super bowl win in the Minnesota Vikings history #SKOL2THEBOWL 🏆
Not to mention saints beat us to go win it all so playing in 501 for if all would be icing on the cake
KOC is the best man love when he’s on the show
This dude got the cool AF rizz
Loved his messaging and personality from the jump...but Viking fans know his play-calling has improved significantly. Especially now staying more aggressive late in games.
Is it meant to be a dig that KOC is listed as "Former NFL QB" in the tag?? Don't watch the show, so don't know how this normally plays out.
Mad respect for KOC from a Lions guy. He has his team rolling. Until week 18.
KOC is OZ
Vikings have been most chosen team to come talk on this show and other shows. Pay attention!! Vikings are winning Superbowl vs the ravens or bills
Thats our coach!
KOC is Great!
K.O.C for president
Vikings ownership wisely got rid of curmudgeon Zimmer ! Made a Great Hire of KOC and Defensive Flores ! Great Chemistry Hope KOC gets Coach of the Year. Love how he would vote Dan Campbell or Mike Tomlin. ! Agree Lions n Vikings end of year match up will be a barn burning 🔥 most watched Game !! Either way I win because I love both Teams !
Coach wally cleaver
Yikes is right!
Best coach for Vikes since Denny Green. Unfortunately, the Vikes will fold like a lawn chair in the playoffs
Harvey Spector 👔 #skol2thebowl
Let's see them take the Seahawks apart on Sunday.
I thought the windy and rainy joke was funny KOC 😂 Dans too old for humor
The flavor of the day now. 💩🤡💩🤡
32-16, including 7-10 last year with four different bad quarterbacks. More like the flavor of the last three years
These questions are awful
lucky for us you’re here to clarify that.
I have followed the Vikings for over 54 years. I fear that they will lose their next 4 games and be finished for the year
I hear you, and any realistic and long term Viking fan should feel the same way. Looking at the next three games, losing to any or all of those teams would not be shocking. I’m super proud of this team, but we’re a pretty-good (not great) team who is over-achieving because of great coaching, a super positive environment, and constant and consistent effort by the players.

I cried when the Vikings lost to the Chiefs in SB IV. I lost my mind when Anderson missed the FG knowing the season was over.
