Vikings Territory Breakdown: S4E22 - Vikings New Coach and Pro Bowl Week Podcast

Co-host Joe Oberle and Star Tribune's Mark Craig talk: The NFL hosted its (nearly) annual AFC-NFC Pro Bowl game this past weekend and I woke up from my third quarter nap in time to watch Vikings running back Dalvin Cook score on a late touchdown reception. He appeared to keep the football (I am thinking it was his first Pro Bowl TD). The game apparently meant more to the players, who seemed to be enjoying themselves, than the many NFL fans who have been criticizing for its lack of competition—such as this: More importantly, the Vikings new GM Kwesi Adolfo-Menash made his first and biggest decision of the offseason (if reports leaking out are to be accurate) in the hiring of Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell to be the team’s next head coach. KOC as we will refer to him often, still has one game to play next week in Los Angeles before he is officially announced as the Vikings head coach and can take over the reins for the foreseeable future. Let’s hoping he will have earned the rights to be wearing a shiny new ring (they won’t be created and awarded yet) when he shows up at TCO Performance Center in the near future. We will hit on all that and more coming out of Eagan, recap (every so quickly) the Pro Bowl, grab some other interesting NFL topics of Super Bowl week and make our predictions for the big game (I am going with tails on the coin toss).
