The Minnesota Vikings officially welcomed Kevin O’Connell as their new head coach in Thursday’s introductory press conference. With general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah at his side, it marked the first opportunity for fans to see and hear from the new regime.
And it was also a chance for media members to ask questions.
O’Connell opened up about a lot of different topics, including the uncertainty surrounding quarterback Kirk Cousins’ future in Minnesota, the shift in defensive philosophy and whether he’d be doing the offensive play-calling.
Everything on the table was addressed during the press conference. Here are some of the best quotes from O’Connell at the event.
