KOC—The Real Deal or Real Lucky?

Vikings Territory Breakdown Podcast:

Kevin O’Connell finished his first season as an NFL head coach with a record of 13-4, an NFC North Division title for the Minnesota Vikings and a first-round exit in the playoffs. His rookie campaign was marked by a number of fourth-quarter, last-minute, come-from-behind victories (in fact, the team tied a league record with eight and broke one for the largest comeback against the Colts) punctuated by the incredible finish in Buffalo. So, the question we must ask then after this frenetic, exhilarating, bonkers first season is whether KOC is the real deal or did he just get really lucky last season.
