Minnesota Vikings Head Coach Kevin O’Connell joins Dan Patrick on The Dan Patrick Show to talk about his NFL Coach of the Year Award. He is a little disappointed he hasn’t actually received the hardware yet so he currently has nothing on his mantle. He gives his thoughts on the recently played Super Bowl. And he talks about moving forward in Minnesota with or without QB Sam Darnold.
Dan Patrick: “When do you make your decision, or the team makes its decision on Sam Darnold?”
Kevin O’Connell: “...I think a lot goes into it. We haven’t made that decision yet. I talked to really all three, you know, both JJ (McCarthy), and JJ’s here every day, but I talked to Sam (Darnold) yesterday for a long time, talked to Daniel Jones for a long time. I just want those guys to know that there’s an element in this where our relationship matters. The communication between me and those guys has to be paramount, and the agents and our front office, those conversations will go on. But what we try to build here is something that I hope is always beyond that, above that.”
