Vikings make it official: Kevin O'Connell is the new head coach
Kevin O’ConnellThe Vikings officially reached a deal with Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell to make him the 10th head coach in team history on Wednesday, putting the finishing touches on a regime that could define much of the Wilf family's third decade of team ownership.
O'Connell, three days removed from helping the Rams win Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles, signed his deal with the Vikings on Wednesday. He will be introduced in a news conference on Thursday afternoon, a day after the Rams' victory parade.
