Quarterback Kirk Cousins no longer has to sleep with one eye open with Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell slated to become the next head coach for the Minnesota Vikings. The plan is slowly coming to fruition in Minnesota, and although the picture remains incomplete, it’s easy to put two-and-two together and see where things are headed.
By the time the 2022 NFL season rolls around, Captain Kirk will still be the man sitting in the Vikings command chair.
O’Connell served as his quarterbacks coach back in 2017 in his final year with the Washington Commanders. So the two have worked closely together in the past. Vikings running back Dalvin Cook even alluded to it over the weekend at the Pro Bowl when asked to share his thoughts on O’Connell as a head coach.
