Each and every year, fans can count on roughly 20% of the league to be looking for a new Head Coach, and this year we were well North of that figure. The Minnesota Vikings haven't been in the market for a few years after the solid hire of current Head Coach Kevin O'Connell. That is the opinion of a Bill Barnwell article at ESPN ranking the coaching hires made over the past five years:7. Kevin O'Connell, Minnesota Vikings Seasons: FourRecord: 43-25 (.632) There's no doubting that O'Connell is a good coach, having put together 13- and 14-win seasons over his first four years in Minnesota, but we can poke a few holes in that record. Unsurprisingly, several Raiders hires are near the bottom, including recently fired Head Coach Pete Carroll.
