Vikings owners want to be back in the playoffs but QB uncertainty makes the head coach's evaluation for next season difficult
If the reporting on Kevin O’Connell’s contract is correct then he would be in line for an extension prior to the 2025 season, assuming history follows with the way Vikings owners have dealt with extensions in the past.
How is 2023 supposed to be factored in the overall evaluation? While Mark Wilf said at the owner’s meetings that going 7-10 was unacceptable, the Vikings were 17-8 under O’Connell when Kirk Cousins went down. The head coach was saddled with a 2-9 career journeyman QB who had to learn the offense on the fly and another journeyman with a penchant for tossing the pigskin to the other team.
Any rational thinking regarding the Vikings coaching position would lead you to the conclusion that they would be best suited to allow HC to wade his way through a transition year in 2024 without too much concern for the final record and then give him time to develop McCarthy over the 2025 and 2026 seasons under the umbrella of a long-term contract extension.
O’Connell’s ability to keep the train on the tracks gives him far more leeway than if he was a cantankerous coach but we saw with Leslie Frazier that if you don’t win it doesn’t matter how much love you got in the locker room or organization. On the other side of the coin O’Connell has an opportunity to earn the belief of the ownership and fans alike with a good season in 2024. Should Darnold respond to his offensive scheme, moral support and the supporting cast that has been put together around him — now with major parts having been acquired by the current regime — then the trust for this leadership would be through the roof.
