If O'Connell wins a Superbowl

Post by VikingsFan84 »

If O'Connell wins a Superbowl, is O'Connell a better head coach than Grant or are you going to think Grant is still the best head coach no matter what?

Be the best to get one before Grant passes on but at that time KOC will become the greatest Vikings coach ever

KOC would get it. First one to do it. Plus with the CAP it's almost impossible to keep a solid core team together forever as every good to great team did back in the 1970s which was Grants era. Once drafted they were yours for the duration.

It’s going to be hard to think of Bud as second best but a Super Bowl win would likely tip the scales in KOC’s favor. We were one of the top teams through the 70’s so it was a decade long run for Bud’s teams. It’s a different game today than it was in the 70’s as has been pointed out.

I'm sticking with Bud. It would take multiple super bowl victories.

After seeing how exposed this team is, I dont think you have to worry about it.

The rams lost 3 games in a row last year after being 8-1 and won the Super Bowl. It literally means nothing. It’s about getting to the playoffs and how you play when the playoffs hit

The Rams were winless the entire month of November last year.

I mean they lost 31-10 to the 49ers. That’s still pretty damn bad no matter what way you put it. And they actually lost to SF both times that year. Yet they beat them in the NFC championship. After getting beat by them 31-10. Like I said, what you’re trying to bring up literally doesn’t matter. What matters is getting in the playoffs (which we will) and how you perform from there. If you want to write them off over one game, then write them off I don’t really care. But like I said, it’s about how you finish, and we are far from the finish. That’s been proved many of times

Over multiple Super bowl losses. Gotcha!!!! I'm a Grant fan, 3 NFC Conference championships. Accomplishments as a head coach, He's right up there with Dan Reeves. Both of them got close but no cigar.

Well, with an 8-2 record some naive fans still have hope.
