Kevin O'Connell will become the Vikings' 10th head coach this week and will be the second youngest at 37 when he coaches his first game in September.
Norm Van Brocklin was 35 and fresh from being selected as the NFL's MVP with the 1960 championship Eagles when he coached the Vikings' first-ever game on Sept. 17, 1961 — a startling 37-13 upset over Chicago at Met Stadium.
Ten coaches entering season No. 62 is quite a display of Vikings' stability, particularly when you consider the Cleveland Browns have had 10 head coaches and two interims since re-entering the NFL as an expansion team in 1999.
