After the Vikings fired Mike Zimmer, they turned their attention to the Los Angeles Rams. Raheem Morris and Kevin O’Connell, who were Sean McVay’s coordinators in 2021, were both finalists for Minnesota’s head coaching job.
It was O’Connell who won out and landed the job, which allowed the Rams to retain Morris as their defensive coordinator. But if it were up to McVay, Morris would be a head coach somewhere right now.
On McVay’s first day back in the building for offseason workouts, he told reporters that it’s “a crime” Morris isn’t a head coach. He says it’s an example of how far the league has to go when it comes to minority coaches getting more opportunities.
