Add any new firings or anything I missed and I’ll add them.
Who’s next?
They won’t be gone this year, but the seat’s gonna light up under KOC and Kwesi in MN, especially Kwesi. He’s completely whiffed on two drafts and if he makes further mistakes in a draft where the Vikings have so many areas of need, that will set us back potentially for a good decade in a division where every other team is on the rise. I will give KOC credit for somehow getting 2 good games out of Josh Dobbs, but trying too hard to fit more mobile QBs into the pocket-passing role Kirk Cousins had, stubbornly sticking to Mattison over Chandler as our feature RB for way too long, and making too many baffling red zone play call decisions regardless of QB are hopefully just growing pains and not a growing trend.
Dobbs was so much fun to watch for those two games.
