Former SDSU Quarterback Kevin O’Connell hired as Minnesota Vikings new head coach

If you were to search “offensive philosopher” in the dictionary, you would find Kevin O’Connell’s name under the definition, at least according to Minnesota Vikings general manager Kwesi-Adofo Mensah.

On Wednesday, Feb. 16 O’Connell was introduced as the Vikings’ tenth head coach in franchise history. Just a mere week ago O’Connell was celebrating with the Los Angeles Rams as they won Super Bowl LVI. Now, as the championship air lingers around him, he is getting ready to take the Vikings by the horns too.

“To Vikings fans, I just want to let you know, you’ll get everything I absolutely have on an every-single-day basis,” O’Connell said during his first press conference as head coach.
