Vikings assistant coach and confidant of Kevin O'Connell, Grant Udinski, is a top candidate for the Seahawks offensive coordinator position.

While McCown played 18 seasons in the NFL for 10 different teams, he’s only been a coach for two years. He was hired as Quarterbacks coach for the Carolina Panthers under Frank Reich in 2023 and was tasked with developing their number one overall pick, quarterback Bryce Young.

The Minnesota Vikings had multiple coaches interview for promotions but only one is still in the running. The rest return.

The jump from position coach to head coach is unusual but not unprecedented. A great example of it working is Andy Reid, who went from Packers quarterbacks coach to Eagles head coach in 1999. Reid has won 273 regular season games, the fourth most in NFL history, and has won three Super Bowls with the Chiefs.

The end of the Minnesota Vikings' season led to some big questions in the offseason. Among them, is Sam Darnold part of the Vikings' plans? Where does 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy fit into them?

The Minnesota Vikings have decided on head coach Kevin O'Connell staying with the team, as he has agreed to a multi-year extension.
