Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell was included in a recent list of possible coaching candidates for the 2025 season. This report shared by Fox's Jay Glazer shocked many NFL fans as O'Connell led the Vikings to a 14–3 season and playoff bid.

The former Ohio State star requested his release so he could pursue an opportunity with a playoff contender as his years in the league are growing shorter.
