BREAKING: DK Metcalf Re-Signs Seahawk, Commits to Finish Career in Seattle Seahawk…..

It would seem obvious to extend Kevin O’Connell’s contract beyond this season. The Athletic’s Diana Russini claims that since the head coach will be starting the last year of his contract in the offseason, an extension “may happen soon.” The Minnesota Vikings’ ownership has been impressed by more than just the team’s performance this season. He led the squad to a postseason appearance with a 13-4 record in his debut season. Even though they lost in the first round of the playoffs, that season was a fantastic beginning to his coaching career.

Injuries characterized last year. Star receiver Justin Jefferson missed a significant amount of the season due to injury, while quarterback Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles. O’Connell has a winning percentage of.673 across his nearly three.

Because of his work with Sam Darnold, Kevin O’Connell is highly regarded. Darnold was a starter for the Jets for three of his five years in the NFL and the Panthers for two of them. He started with a 21-34 record. His highest season-long totals were 3,024 yards and 19 touchdowns. This season, Darnold has passed for 3,776 yards and 32 touchdowns in 15 games. In the final two games of the season, he will try to increase that total.
