O'Connell left Darnold out there to die in the two biggest games of their season and was THOROUGHLY out-coached in both games.
He'll get his win this year and I hope to never hear his name among the actual championship caliber coaches in the league again. Because he got exposed down the stretch.
There might just be some McDaniel to him. He's a guy who can look awfully sharp when things are going his way but he doesn't seem to have much of a plan when he gets punched in the mouth.

I don’t know, there’s also so many ways you can dress up a pig. It reminds me of when dick vermeil used to gameplan around Jordan black. At some point you’re gonna be exposed. Those runs and quick passes don’t mean shit if your qb can’t prove he can do anything beyond that. It’s a wonder darnold was masked for that long.
I still really like KOC and the takeaway for me is that darnold largely got exposed for who he is. On the one hand KOC probably had an Andy Reid vs anuramo game where darnold should have taken what he was given. On the other hand I don’t think that would have mattered when the qb is that broken. We still have to remember that the Vikings went this far with a backup qb and I think that absolutely deserves coach of the year consideration.
