The Lions coach believed that his team would be facing the Vikings in the NFC divisional round, and now both teams are out of the playoffs.

After the Lions were eliminated by the Commanders, fans quickly took to social media to make fun of Vikings' Kevin O'Connell and Dan Campbell

Despite being eliminated by the Los Angeles Rams, the Minnesota Vikings had a strong NFL season, battling through injury setbacks. Speculation about head coach Kevin O'Connell's future arose, but he addressed the rumors decisively.

After being hired in February 2022, O’Connell has compiled a 34-17 record with the Vikings, while establishing a culture that he so often flaunts as a difference maker. O’Connell is the heavy favorite to be named NFL Coach of the Year. He also has yet to win a playoff game, twice getting bounced in the first round.

McCarthy missed his entire rookie campaign with a knee injury that could impact his readiness next year and he has yet to take a regular season snap in the NFL. Jones could sign a one-year contract with the Vikings similar to the $10 million deal Darnold inked in 2024 and serve as a backup and/or bridge QB to McCarthy.

Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores has wrapped up his third head coaching interview in the last two days.

We made a little stir last month by suggesting that the Bears should call the 49ers about a possible trade for coach Kyle Shanahan.
