Good points. It does make me wonder if there is real caution in resigning him from the Wilf’s position. They were quick to resign KOC and he apparently knocked it out of the park in Indy when KAM was sick. There were rumors of KOC getting more power but I never heard what came of it, if it was even true.

Are you talking about the combine?

How did KOC knock it out of the park?


Yes. Several agents came out and said he was more prepared than most of the GM’s explaining the direction of the team and where they wanted to take it. And this was kinda ‘on the fly’ as they didn’t think KAM would get sick. Apparently he had every detail nailed down

Thats interesting. Maybe the agents were just happy to talk with a Vikings rep not requiring Navajo Code Talkers to understand.

nice.

Hopefully, KOC wasn’t too collaborative / didnt divulge too much. It should be pointed out that agents buddying up to KOC is actually MORE complimentary of Kwesi, if you look at the nature of sports agents.

They’re not patting you on the back to be friendly, they’re placing a ‘kick me’ sign.

For my money, KOC and KAM have done well while learning on the fly, fighting a lack of resources, and purging some of the wonkiness of Spielman's and Zimmer's last 3 or so years of turmoil.

They have holes in their games but who doesn't, and I think they are making progress.

The approach has been unconventional but two of the three years IMO we have outplayed our talent level and certainly expectations before each season. Although those teams were short of playoff competitiveness.

Hopefully that changes this year. Its kind of iffy with a rookie QB but I'll take that rollercoaster ride over Rogers or Cousins.
