Health would be one fix! Gotta be some scheme changes somewhere though I'd expect. The performance of the D seemed worse than the personnel the last 2 years.

Except he was the OC...
I don’t think it will.
I wanted harbaugh because I thought he would be capable of retooling and making what we have work to win the north the fastest. Plus his track record of getting the most of Alex smith and the 49ers and Kapernick with 3 or 4 NFC championship runs.
I don’t know anything about O’Connell and if he ends up being the guy, I’m expecting results in season 1. No excuses.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Harbaugh reminded the Wilfs to much if Zimmer and that is why they got scared away of picking him.
Life is hard when you’re Vikings fan and that is all I know.
Oh jeez, duh. I was thinking about when he was at the Eagles and forgot about him at KC.
I was told by a friend of mine that has connections to Harbaugh through family that Harbaugh was told by someone in the organization that the in-person meeting on Wednesday was just a formality. Things were going good until the afternoon when the Wilfs let him know that they still had another person they wanted to talk to. That's when Harbaugh decided to take his name out of the running.
My buddy had sent me a text on Sunday night that it was 99% that Harbaugh was going to the Vikings. So I think Harbaugh thought the Vikings wanted him and it was up to him to decide if he wanted the job.
Basically, Harbaugh thought the job was his when he went there on Wednesday but the Wilfs had other ideas and treated it like any other interview and that killed it for Harbaugh.
I do think it's odd that almost immediately after word came out that Harbaugh said he was staying at Michigan that news broke that O'Connell was going to be the choice.
That tells the Wilfs had decided on O'Connell before the Harbaugh interview and were maybe just seeing if Harbaugh blew their doors off.
Not sure why I didn’t think to post this earlier, but there is a Vikings app available through Roku. Probably other devices also I’d assume. Anyway, lots of stuff on there about KAM right now.

I hope it tanks recruiting. But if he does leave with the transfer portal the kids don’t have to waste any time
Jim has a history of being an ego maniac. I’m assuming that turned them off especially if O’Connell had a great interview.
If I’m not mistaken he turned off Pollard as well.
Vikings are trying to convince the league that they are keeping Kirk. The thought is to drive the selling price of Kirk higher for teams in desperate need of an upgrade at QB. Listen to the Purple Daily podcast for a more detailed explanation.
Basically, if you announce now that you want to move on from Kirk. You will get little to no value from him in a trade. Announcing that you want to keep him should eliminate low ball offers.
We want a first or early second! Look at the STATS!!

There's probably a lot of validity to what you're saying, but every Vikings fan should be prepared for Kirk to be under center, come September, because that's still a very plausible outcome as well.
At a reasonable cap number... I am ok with this. But signing an extension with him will make me puke at first
I always say, who the hell else we going to get? Kirk is still a top 12 QB in the nfl
I'd rather go sub .500 with a kid on his rookie deal rather than lose with our expensive, robotic, poor leading, 'top 12' Kirk.
