Kevin O’Connell’s first two seasons as head coach of the Minnesota Vikings have provided plenty of evidence he has the franchise on the right track. The Vikings are 20-11 under O’Connell, including a 13-win season and an NFC North title in 2022; he has instilled a positive culture for a team that seemed miserable before his arrival; and he has often gotten the most out of (now injured) quarterback Kirk Cousins.
