Kevin O’Connell was named the 10th head coach in Minnesota Vikings history on Feb. 16, 2022, after serving as the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams during the 2020-21 seasons. 

In his first two seasons at the helm of the Vikings, O’Connell became the fastest head coach in team history to reach 20 wins, needing just 30 games to do so (at Las Vegas in Week 14 of 2023). He broke Dennis Green's record, who won 20 games as the Vikings head coach in his first 32 games during the 1992-93 seasons.
