The Vikings are planning to introduce Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell as their next head coach Thursday, league sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The Vikings had not been permitted to announce that they were hiring O’Connell while the Rams were still playing in the postseason but can do so anytime now that Los Angeles’ season has been completed, culminating with its Super Bowl LVI victory.
The Rams are holding team meetings and exit interviews Tuesday and will hold their victory parade in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
O’Connell, 36, was one of four candidates to receive a second interview with the Vikings, along with Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, then-Giants defensive coordinator Patrick Graham and Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh.
