Crisis Arises: Vikings owner Zygi Wilf terminate current head Kevin O’Connell 1 year contract as he constantly consider a better and competent coach

Crisis Arises: Vikings owner Zygi Wilf terminate current head Kevin O’Connell 1 year contract as he constantly consider a better and competent coach

That’s not accurate. The Minnesota Vikings have actually agreed to a multiyear contract extension with head coach Kevin O’Connell, not terminated his contract.¹ This move comes after O’Connell’s successful third season with the team, where they went 14-3 but fell in the Wild Card Round of the NFC Playoffs.

Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf praised O’Connell, saying he’s “an innovative play caller, an excellent communicator and a strong leader who motivates and connects with his players”. Zygi Wilf, the Vikings’ owner/chairman, also expressed his support for O’Connell, stating that the team is “on the right trajectory under Kevin’s continued leadership”.

So, it seems there’s no crisis arising from a contract termination. Instead, the Vikings are committed to keeping O’Connell at the helm.
