I hope KOC is our coach until he's done with football.. and we should pay Brian Flores whatever he wants and make him the Assistant Head coach and defensive Coordinator for the next 5 years minimum
I think Flores is Having a great time and he loves being here.. if Ziggy pays him well and makes him The Assistant head coach and extends him he'll stay I think.. he is chasing greatness and he is literally doing it without a few key 🔑 pieces... we have enough money to get dexter Lawrence or someone like that and two really fast and tall corners and keep everyone else
I’ve loved Sam Darnold since USC and I’m thrilled that the Vikings and Kevin O’Connell found each other and he’s thriving. People forget that Sam was only 21 when he entered the NFL. He needed time to develop and the Jets were the wrong environment to start his career.
My hope is that he wants to stay and they can keep it going. Sam is a Stafford/ Goff hybrid and he fits great in the offense. He makes all the throws and moves well in the pocket.
I just wanted to say thank you TJ Sports USA for having a channel where the person does not talk they let the story come out and show it for what it is. Along with trusting each person who views it as just that gaining information. I hate youtube channels that have a person showing a video talk show a clip talk and repeat. Drives me bonkers and trust me it is one hell of a short drive.
Wow KOC in my opinion is the greatest coach in the NFL hands down. He can take a player and build them into the best version of themselves. He wisely calls plays that fit to Darnolds strengths. He does that with all the players like no other !! To put it mildly he is a genius head coach !!! Without him at the wheel there's no way Sam would have the same success anywhere else. KOC is the main reason this team is 11 & 2. I take nothing away from all the other coaches and players they are all fantastic in their own right !!! I am just so impressed how he has molded this team into something special giving the fans a legitimate team that could win the super bowl !!!!
I say wait to see what happens in the playoffs. But Sam is ascending that’s for sure. I’m happy for Sam and I’m happy for the Vikings. He is good. But remember if we sign Sam to 40 million a year contract that’s 40 million a year we don’t have to strengthen our team. I’m leaning on letting him go, and then keeping Jones and have competition between McCarthy in Jones next year. The best player starts, and the other guys the back up.
If Sam leads the team to a win over the Lions in the NFC Championship game, then I’ll be on the bandwagon calling for the Vikings to “pay that man his money.”
Hey on Viking Quarterbacks I have Joe Kapps Canadian Football League HoF award. I am looking for a home for this award. Joe played in Calgary, Vancouver for the CFL and was traded to the Vikings and took them to a super bowl, then he sued the league, went to the Patriots and was the highest paid player in the NFL, then became a movie star, then became a college/professional football coach. Any ideas as to where this award should go?
The future is bright for Vikes. Even if Sam and Flores leave, this is the OConnell show. He is capable of taking them to the bowl. His record in close games is unreal.
If Sam can help get them a playoff victory I think they will try to sign him. He is an upgrade over Kirk, but I think they want to see how he does in a playoff game before they invest. The Vikings have played mix-and-match with quarterbacks since Fran Tarkenton. It’s one of the biggest reasons why they haven’t won a Super Bowl, not that Tarington did, but he got them there four times..
Coach is really coming into his own i was critical in the past but I was wrong about his coaching.the only bad call.i think he has made this year is when he failed to take a knee causing injury to to darrisaw
Spot on Assessment. Smartest thing to do at this point. Start JJ next year and if it don't work, Darnold can be the future. If JJ balls out, trade and get some draft picks for the year after draft to make up for what we lost on this one.
I'm just as disappointed as KOC seems to be in this vid that the Vikes failed to score 50. In other news, Go ahead and slide us to #1 in the power rankings, ESPN.
As much as I would love to have that happen 4 years ago, no brainer to keep him. Now? Let him walk, KOC is the reason Sam is what he is. He did it for Kirk, Dobbs, and now Sam. JJ is the cheaper future to make the whole TEAM better. Believe in KOC and trust his knowledge of keeping him. Before KOC, yes, sign Sam all day and night. For now and future, KOC can make any player better. Keep the pocketbook lean on the QB so our defense don't get screwed like Cousins did to us. Franchise tag is a better option. KOC is real.
Good is the enemy of greatness and signing Sam long term puts them back to where they were with Cousins: a large QB contract on the cap handicapping it. Unless Sam wins the SB, it has to be Mccarthy long term
I hope KOC is our coach until he's done with football.. and we should pay Brian Flores whatever he wants and make him the Assistant Head coach and defensive Coordinator for the next 5 years minimum
I love how those two have the offense and defense clicking.
I agree, give Flores head coach money
It sucks, Flores is probably gonna leave for a head coaching job
I think Flores is Having a great time and he loves being here.. if Ziggy pays him well and makes him The Assistant head coach and extends him he'll stay I think.. he is chasing greatness and he is literally doing it without a few key 🔑 pieces... we have enough money to get dexter Lawrence or someone like that and two really fast and tall corners and keep everyone else
Totally agree with this he’s a great coach and is big key in the Minnesota Vikings
Hands down best MN Vikings coach of my lifetime
@@nonsense2369 Maybe, but until he wins a SB for us, it doesn’t matter.
@@BigDdreaming right cuz all those other great vikings coaches won those right 🤣
@@BigDdreaming I agree because that is the ultimate goal. Until this organization wins a SB, we just enjoy the ride and hope for what could have been.
@@MikeJDiscGolf I’ll type slowly so you can understand. Until the Vikings finally win a SB, KOC isn’t any better than previous Viking coaches.
He's doing more with less than every other coach since '98 Denny Green, that's for sure.

Minnesota actually has 3 really good pro teams right now its unreal lets get it now and upcoming
I'd say 4! Twolves, Wild, Twins, Vikes!
@@JORpify 5 if you want to include the lynx
why the getting's good
6 with the loons
Lifetime Vikings fan KOC is always professional and polite. NFL needs these x100 for sure.
I think this has been his plan with the press. Stay calm, humble, and it pays off down the road.
KOC the master of talking a lot and not actually saying anything lol but hes been really good these last three years minus 3 games last year

K.O. is the Man of the Year hands down! I love my coach.

This man needs a top 3 salary HC in the league. Please Ziggy
Never forget the contribution of VIKINGS GM KAM!

Does the CFL have a hall of fame?
Keep Sam
The future is bright for Vikes. Even if Sam and Flores leave, this is the OConnell show. He is capable of taking them to the bowl. His record in close games is unreal.
Sign Sam
Keep both Sam and JJ as Vikings QB, the value of Vikings will triple in and seven NFL Titles in ten years!
Yup! The GB Tactic.. Brett Farve and Rodgers, Rodgers and Love. Doesnt hurt to copy our divisional rivals tactics! If it works, it works!
If Sam can help get them a playoff victory I think they will try to sign him. He is an upgrade over Kirk, but I think they want to see how he does in a playoff game before they invest.

@Robert-py4ce Joe Kapp in super bowl 4,sir Fran in the next three

Franchise tag Sam Darnold. That's $41mm. Then TRADE him to a team for a veteran immediate impact guy (like Dexter Lawrence) and a draft pick. Boom.
Spot on Assessment. Smartest thing to do at this point. Start JJ next year and if it don't work, Darnold can be the future. If JJ balls out, trade and get some draft picks for the year after draft to make up for what we lost on this one.
Agreat coach for a great team!!!!😊😊

KOC The quarterback whisperer!
He is on the Mantle of Bud Grant and Dennis Green.
SKOL TO THE BOWL
I love KOC, but the PI comment is funny. Suggesting WR are beat up more now than previous. [insert clips of 90's DB assaulting WRs]
Best since My friend Bud
KO is OZ
Pay this man. Whatever it takes, for as long as it takes.

Ditto.. KC revives the the the Vikings... BEST FANS IN THE NFL
I think with Kevin O’Connell needs to do as head coach is light of fire under the offensive lines butt and I don’t mean butt
I don't hear it mentioned but didn't KOC back up the GOAT Tom Brady?
Yep
Yes he did
Bird in the hand
....jj is an unknown quantity. Proove it
jj is a known. this coach can make a qb . he used 3 practice squad level qbs last year and still won games.
@@ricklong3260 exactly. A few passes in practice don't mean anything. Sam fur sure is stronger.
Good is the enemy of greatness and signing Sam long term puts them back to where they were with Cousins: a large QB contract on the cap handicapping it. Unless Sam wins the SB, it has to be Mccarthy long term
I hope he and Quasi
Stud
Sign Sam, trade JJ
Not even close to bud grant and the goat. Maybe win the big game then start talking. 0 and 4 on big game. Keep drinkibg the purple koolaid
NOT GONNA HAPPEN .. BEEN THROUGH THIS FOR OVER 50 YEARS...
play OUTDOORS!
