EAGAN, Minn. -- Kevin O'Connell made clear Monday that he wants to continue as the Minnesota Vikings' head coach, even as his contract status has reportedly spurred interest from other NFL teams in acquiring his services via trade.
"I'm not really interested in kind of, I guess I should say, addressing the rumors or speculation," O'Connell said. "What I can tell you is I love this team. I love everything about this organization. This is where I want to be. This is where I want to keep coaching and leading."
O'Connell and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah each signed four-year contracts when they were hired within weeks of each other in 2022.
