Kevin O’Connell is the primary mastermind behind the Vikings offense. Similar to the arrangement in Los Angeles with Sean McVay, O’Connell is the HC who largely functions as an OC since he’s leading the unit even though the team has an offensive coordinator.
Well, for a portion of the Titans game, a different Vikings coach was allowed to take the reins. Wes Phillips took charge, even calling the drive that resulted in DeWayne McBride’s touchdown. O’Connell was quick to offer his praise for his OC during the post-game press conference. Even more exciting is that O’Connell foreshadowed something similar for the Cardinals game on Saturday.
