SiouxScore Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Vikings seem to be down to 4 coaching candidates. Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, Rams OC Kevin O'Connell, Rams DC Raheem Morris, and Giants DC Patrick Graham. Disappointing to see DeMeco Ryans pull out of the race tonight as he had become my top guy after seeing Daboll and Hackett head elsewhere, I also would have liked Kellen Moore and thought they should have interviewed Brian Flores. At this point I'm hoping it is Harbaugh and I'd probably have O'Connell 2nd with Morris right there with him and Graham a very distant 4th. I don't really get the Graham interest at all and would be pretty disappointed if he is the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernraider Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Someone already updated Jim's wiki page as Vikings coach. I prefer a coach that doesn't just jump at the next opportunity. If true, it's his 5th HC job in 18 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn-O Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Harbaugh is in Eagan today, on national signing day. Wouldn’t be surprised if something leaks later today or tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxScore Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Man this search has really gone south quickly in my mind. Had two great options in Ryans and Harbaugh and now we have neither. Guess at this point I'd roll the dice on the offensive guy O'Connell but I'm not in love with any of these final 3 guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wilfs are idiots for tanking this. I suppose they'll want to bring back their "triangle of authority" too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxweet Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Supposedly he told the Bears he wanted a Gruden type of contract. If that is what he was asking from the Vikings they should have told him NO. I am not even close to being a Vikings fan but this is a good move if that was the case.

Siouxperfan7 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 The Vikings never offered Harbaugh the job. Who knows if he was their #1 guy. Rumor had it he wanted a Gruden type deal. Wilf's probably turned off by that. Or maybe Kwesi decided that he wasn't the guy to take the Vikings into the new style of play in the NFL. The NFL has maybe moved on from coaching styles of Harbaugh, Zimmer, and a lot of other guys. Glad they are going with a young coach that can take this team to the new way the NFL is moving towards. O'Connell isn't a guarantee to be successful, but I am definitely glad they went with him over Harbaugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to bury the lead, lol. Can tell that many aren't happy about Cousins, but here is my take: 2022 draft QB class is not that great, other options aren't available and no one was going to trade for him. However, can't give him the long term extension either. Thus a 1 year extension to clear cap space. Enough to give the new braintrust to see what they have and then can go from there next year with a better QB draft class if it all falls apart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As somebody who doesn't follow the financial side of sports, can somebody explain to me how a $35 million contract (all guaranteed) actually frees up cap space?

I don’t know the exact logistics, but teams are able to use signing bonuses and add voidable years to the end of a contract to kick the can down the road per-say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same thing but after doing a little research, Mr. Bieniemy has a very sordid past that includes run ins with the law and some other not so savory transgressions. I can see now why teams have passed on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
