Kevin O’Connell Mic’d Up During the Minnesota Vikings Win Over the New England Patriots in Week 12

He was actually saying and I mean that cause he said I love you to Adam which makes it so much better

@Aaron Mathews he literally said “and I’m not just saying that”

@Jack Thompson KOC was absolutely right about Adam having a big night. He must have had a lot of plays set up for him to succeed! Quite amazing really.

@Camarokidd2022 they said they ran that play that he got a touchdown on twice before but they didn’t bite on it until that third time

@removedot I never hear that but I was mainly saying it because he had 9 catches which is more then Adam has had in a game this year. It was his best game this year and let’s hope in continues.

I want him here for like 10+ years haha

Y’know, I hadn’t thought about it, but for the Vikes to be doing how they’re doing, and this being O’Connell’s first season with them? I dunno, can coaches get the MVP?

@Joe Schmidt the only reason I made the original comment is because Paul said that the fans will be good with KOC win or LOSE. The Vikings shouldn’t lose many more games but if they lost 3 or 4 in a row no fan would be saying they are good with him, win or lose. You know how fans are.

@Joe Schmidt btw. Yes we are winning under him but it doesn’t mean it will continue even though I want it to. The Vikes could easily lose against the Lions, Bears, or GB on the road. When you’re defense can’t stop any team there is always a chance you could lose. Reality is reality. I love the Vikes and I want them to win but when you get blown out by 37 points at home it’s hard to always be optimistic.

Its not just enthusiasm, the level of emotional intelligence on display here is phenomenal. He is finding different groups/people at specific points targeting motivation and praise. Its so great to see.

@Camarokidd2022 yeah I can believe it, but we need to stay positive and trust the process.. we have a great coaching staff that actually makes adjustments to win games late when needed.. something Zimmer’s staff couldn’t figure out.. Skol

@Cody Kirschbaum yea i hear what you are saying. Thank God Zimmer is gone and I bet the players are extremely happy about it. Zimmer never had a smile on his face and KOC always does. Just that makes a difference to the players and how they might perform on the field. Skol to the bowl.

The Wilfs hired Kwesi. Kwesi then hired KOC. KOC then hired his assistants. It’s pretty basic. The Wilfs didn’t hire KOC, but yeah Kwesi knocked it out of the park

@Avon Barksdale not entirely true they were all involved in the hiring process

Casual take by you

@samson9160 The Wilfs may have put their 2 cents in, but you’re not correct here if you think they had major pull over Kwesi’s decision. Believe whatever BS Sports Media story or take you’ve heard though.

All I know is the wilfs have wanted to bring some 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 home to the vikings and this year just feels different to me than years past even the Brett Favre year didn’t feel right to me ..

@Zachary Werner ​ truly. the fanbase of the league still has little idea about the genius and heart of Mike McDaniel. he and KOC are the future of NFL coaching, and I’ve been saying that since before either coached their first game as HC

if you know what you’re looking at, especially what you’re listening to, then you know

between the two, KOC is particularly perfect for the players and fanbase he inherited. we are profoundly fortunate this particular kind of guy came together with this organization, especially in this moment. there’s not another coach in the NFL (or at Michigan) I’d rather the Vikes have teaching and leading them

No coach of the year winner has won the SB though in the same season.. so there’s so backing to that meaning they had probably really good first year(s) whenever to get said award but ultimately playing really good season wasn’t enough for those past teams to win.. so I’m fine with the narrative going to some warm weather team with probably a worse record.. stay under the radar

Foolish. No one actually watching the games would think this. Vikings offense are a mess, completely reliant on miracles. They will fall apart in playoffs

I been a Viking fan since 1970! I was 10/11,watching the super bowl,they went into the losers locker rooms, so I decided,I like the helmets!

@Joseph that’s awesome 🙂 skol

Uh… But if you were dead, how the hell would you get to work?!

Sucks that we don’t have many bosses like this lol too many bad bosses lately 🤣

All you need to do is look in the mirror soon as you see how gorgeous you are you will have more ambition 😍

@John calm down John lol

Kirk’s positive like that, too. It’s one of the reasons I love this team..lots of heart, lots of love.

KO is special … we’re so lucky

I literally had to pause and look at the comments after he said that… Yours was the first comment. Chills is accurate
