The first order of offseason business for the Vikings and coach Kevin O'Connell is, or at least should be, working out a long-term contract.

He'll be extended. He's had a few head-scratching game decisions but what head coach hasn't, otherwise he's led the team to two of its most successful seasons (win-loss record wise) in recent memory, and in the process has gotten more out of historically average-at-best QBs than anyone else has, and for much of the season was in most talking heads' short lists for coach of the year. Kwesi would be crazy to let him walk, and given that nobody else has interviewed him I gather the rest of the league thinks so too. With Darnold likely gone and the JJ McCarthy era in MN likely beginning next season, both stability in the head coach position in general and KOC's apparent "QB whisperer" abilities are both going to be important to ensure McCarthy has a strong start to his career. I'm confident they'll get a deal done, and they don't need to be in a hurry to do it.
