ESPN: Minnesota Vikings Have BEST Coaching Staff/Coordinators in the NFL πππ
[Music] What’s going on, Jeromes? Lost in all the hoopla of the Vikings this season, JJ McCarthy, free agency, building the trenches, all that stuff is the the Vikings have some pretty good coaches, pretty good play callers, pretty good coordinators, right? So, you got Kevin McConnell who might just be the quarterback whisperer, right? So, yes, has yet to win a playoff game, but I feel like that will be rectified in short order this season. As well as Brian Flores, year three, building up that defense into a hellacious just just monster, just beast. I love him, man. And then Wes Phillips is also a guy. Nah, now West doesn’t get enough credit because Kevin McConnell is the offensive play caller. But if you think about it, that’s exactly the the the situation that Shawn McVey and Kevin McConnell were with the Rams in 2021 and they won a Super Bowl because of Kevin McConnell, right? But West Phillips OC Josh Macau, I mean Macau’s probably destined to be an OC head coach sometime soon. Maybe even might just make the jump from quarterback coach to head coach. you know, Allah Andy Reid uh back in the day from the Packers to the Eagles. So, I feel like I feel like we’re I feel like JJ McCarthy’s got got it pretty good. Also, Matt Daniels, Coach Hack, come on, man. Come on. I feel like teams teams is going to take a big time step up this year and and and it’s going to be good. Long story longer, ESPN, the worldwide bleeder of readers, viewers, and subscribers, generally hating on the Vikings, but our guy Benjamin Soak, noted Eagles fan, by the way. So, this this should count double, right? So, ranking all 32 NFL teams, coaching staffs, coordinators, and uh in 2025. Spoiler, Vikings check in at one getting it done. It’s kind of good. All right, but uh from the started from the bottom, now we’re here. Uh, Giants at 32. They gone. Dable’s gonna be fired mid-season. It’s gonna be great. Jaguars at 31. Udenski. Put some respect on Udinsk’s name. Also, how come there’s no special teams coordinator listed on any of these teams? Doesn’t matter. Saints, this is going to be a bad season for the Saints. Just bad. I I understand that the weathering, you know, cap hell for the next year or two, but it’s gonna be bad. I mean, Tyler Shuck, that’s your big time move. Spencer Rattler. Come on. Uh, Cowboys, I believe in Shotty, man. I don’t believe in Everflu. It’s okay. I’m glad that Shotty got finally got his chance. There you go. Also, 28, the Jets. I mean, I I like Aaron Glenn. I’m not sure about this is just a madeup name. Like, this is a AI generated term. Oh, what did I do? Oh, there you go. All right, we are back. Power power power of editing. I’m not I’m not editing this out. Uh 27 the Titans. Whatever. The Bucks 26. I I mean I I’m sure. No, I believe in Bulls. Falcons accurate. Raheem is him, but I I don’t trust Zack Robinson. Kevin Oonnell clone wannabe. Uh Brick is fine. Like like the beard. Uh 24 the Panthers. I I thought Agerro Vera was uh like like the most soughtafter D coordinator every single year. No, not so much. Yeah. 23. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I I just want to see where the rest of the division is. Ben Johnson. Declan Doyle. Declan Doyle sounds like an Irish folk hero. Oh, Declan Doyle. He got rid of the snakes. Bear fine. Dennis Allen. Whatever. Although I I respect Dennis Allen’s a good defensive coordinator. He is a terrible head coach. I I feel like that’s going to be applicable to Ben Johnson. Great coordinator, terrible head coach. Like to see that. Our guy Kevin Sansky, look out. They massacred my boy. Tommy Reese, Notre Dame. Come on. Jim Schwarz, what’s your deal? Not same. Uh if if they have the line, we we better be seeing the Lions soon. Ah, yeah. If the Lions sneak it Oh, I was gonna say if the Lions sneak into the top 10, they’ll be an abomination. Uh, Diamond Dan Campbell, John Morton, not Johnny Morton, the receiver. John Morton, the coach. Uh, Kel Kelvin Shepard. Okay. Yeah, they went from 2 to 11. Vikings staff makes me go from 6:00 to midnight. Packers at 10. Whatever. No one knows who this is. Adam Stenovic. Whatever. Jeff Halfley. Go back to Baston Cage. Stop copying Brian Flores’s stuff. Yeah. Anyways, but all right, Vikings up there at one getting it done. Chiefs at two. Love it. Uh Matt Naggie, fake ass Brad Childress, Spags, Andy Reid. It’s it’s a great coaching staff, man. Uh but the Vikings at one from 10 last year, which all right, so Kevin McConnell, Wes Phillips, Brian Flores, KOC, and Flo are the two main ones. Also, no special teams coordinator. Come on. When I ranked the Vikings in this exercise last season, I sang the praises of Flores, a defensive coordinator who has done more done the most with the least in 2023. Fair. Fair. But I wondered if Okonnell, another branch of the Shan McVey tree, could innovate and evolve beyond the triedand-rue system he had run with Kurt Cousins to that point. Uh what could he offer in terms of uh younger quarterback in need of development? The answer, not a whole lot. what not necessarily to the quarterback we expected as Darn Sam Darnold started the entire season in JJ McCarthy’s absence. I mean, even if McCarthy was fully healthy, it seemed like the plan was to have Darnold start. I I know that all the national people thought that, oh, JJ was going to overtake him in training camp. H no, Sam was going to start the season. Whether he hung on to the job or not, who knows? But what a season it was. Okonnell’s mastery uh is in opening, intermediate, and downfield passing windows. Darl has more passing attempts of at least 10 yards down the field than any other quarterback. Naniful NextG Stash charted those targets with an average of separation 2.7, fifth highest in the league. That’s at least 19 snorkel. Okonnell has easily leaped into the upper echelon, utmost echelon of offensive designers and Flores remains the cream of the defensive crop. There are many little things to wonder about. Scheming for a rookie is different when scheming for a veteran. Even if the veteran was ass. Thank you. Darnold’s fine. Even that veteran had never been successful elsewhere. That’s why I just said that. But there’s no doubt that Connell and company elevated players more than any other coaching staff of football, which is you love to see. I I love these little these little ads. Get fiber blah blah blah. 100,000 points. Wow. Tiger Woods new lady. Okay. Uh, scary terror time trade. Yeah. Uh, but basically they’re absolutely right about Kev O’Connell and Flores where it just seems like, okay, Kevin Oonnell and the offense, even though they’ve had some rough times the last couple days in training camp, you you you are playing the Flores defense every single day, right? But all of this, the fact that there’s ups and downs with McCarthy and his offense, even without Justin Jefferson, even without Daras and Will Fry fulltime, I mean, the fact that there are ups, you know, gives you hope for things. If it was constantly just down, down, down, down, it would be not so good, right? So, the fact that McCarthy is getting his punches in too, Addison getting his punches in as well, I mean, it’s good. It It does make you feel good. about this defense, man. I I know we’re all excited about McCarthy and this offense and this offensive line, but this defense, I I I just feel it in my bones like down to the marrow that I this is going to be one of those defense defenses that they write shanties about or durges, you know, on the 2025 Vikings. They sacked the quarterback 80 times. Some add, but it’s this is going to go down with the Doomsday defense, the Steel Curtain, the 85 Bears, 2000 Ravens, 2002 Bucks, 2015 Broncos. This will be up there. The Legion of Boom. Yes, except it’ll be all it’ll be all stake. No sizzle. A little sizzle. Mostly stake. There you go. Can’t wait, man. Uh, but your thoughts are thoughts. ESPN, the worldwide bleeder of readers, viewers, and subscribers, ranked the Vikings coaching staff, numero uno in the NFL. I I I don’t like getting accurate praise. Makes me all itchy and stuff. It’s okay. Your thoughts or thoughts? Let us know. Comment section. You guys the best to do. Skull production value.

When you consider how much of a future both O'Connell and Flores have in this league, you have to admit they're pretty fire. They could be in the league for 20-30 more years.
