From a high level, prior to last week McConnel was coaching a 4-4 team coming off a 13-4 campaign. Outside our fan world I can’t possibly conceive why McConnel would be anywhere in the conversation for coach of the year.
Last week was absolutely an impressive job by the coaching staff preparing Dobbs, and we’ll see going ahead. If the team rips off some wins despite Cousins out then yeah I think he gets in that conversation.
But again, at a national level just looking across the Vikings thus far are not having as successful of a season last year in terms of their record.
