I’m also not sure how much access we have to KOC until after the SB.

O'Connell also worked with new Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah in San Francisco in 2016, when he was on the 49ers staff doing special projects under Chip Kelly. - Not completely new for Cousins, then .... if he wants to keep him ;) It will be interesting to see if O'Connel's previous experience with Cousins makes him want to keep him or dump him.

Mark Rapley -> RE: Our New Head Coach (2/2/2022 10:41:04 PM)
One reason I liked Harbaugh was because it sounded like he would bring Fangio with him to handle the defense. But I'm hopeful that O'Connell would do the same thing so he can focus on fixing Cousins.

The media played up the prior relationship between them while ignoring that KAM and O'Connell had also previously worked together.

“The Wilf family (ownership group) and organization are first class all the way and in every way and Kwesi is a shining star!” Harbaugh wrote in a text message Wednesday night to the Pioneer Press. “The team is poised for greatness.”

It used to be called the triangle of authority and everybody thought it was a bad thing. Now we've circled back to it.

The triangle of authority as espoused by Brad Childress had dashed all to do with genuine consensus building.

I should have more patience ... but your opinions often rankle me – I'm sure it works both ways. For instance, your current positions are even more chafing than usual ... one, that not hiring Harbaugh was some kind of first-strike corporate betrayal of the new GM and, two, that 'consensus' is a bad word because of something that happened during the Childress era. I apologize for my bad manners.

I have no idea what Greg Beacham knows but I like what he says here: Vikes @vikesinsider · 11h "O'Connell is the most important part of the offensive brain trust that develops the Rams' game plans, designs their plays and then implements all the details necessary to make it work on Sundays." "To learn more about that role and what makes O'Connell an exciting candidate, DenverBroncos.com spoke with the Associated Press' Greg Beacham." https://twitter.com/vikesinsider/status/1489055872760389634?s=20&t=oc41p7kaOS_j9yjeAIDzqQ

. . Barstool OSU@BarstoolOSU Jim Harbaugh’s coming back?! LET’S GOOOOOO! 1-5 bowl record 1-5 vs Ohio State 3-4 vs Michigan State 3-13 record vs top-ten teams 2-12 as an underdog

SAMiller711r -> RE: Our New Head Coach (2/3/2022 7:44:46 AM)
So "presumably" O'Connell is on-board about being on-board?

ratoppenheimer -> RE: Our New Head Coach (2/3/2022 8:04:26 AM)
. . i don't get pederson falling off a cliff...he brings everything that Harbaugh does without the wacky crazy energy shit.... nobody is interviewing pederson....

Phil Riewer -> RE: Our New Head Coach (2/3/2022 8:35:35 AM)
VikeFans @VikeFans · 11h Just shared with us, “one big pro for new Vikings Head Coach Kevin O’Connell is that he’s too young to have kids old enough to hire for his staff”

My guess is the Philly owner isn't exactly doing him any favors.

ronhextall -> RE: Our New Head Coach (2/3/2022 9:32:44 AM)
Interesting they had O'Connell tagged so quickly. Almost like that is who they wanted but they took the Harbaugh interview just incase it was a last second homerun.
