Football fans are fighting over Kevin O’Connell on Wikipedia…and I’m here for it!
So it’s a slow Tuesday in the world of sports, big deal. Team Shuster was upset by Italy in the Olympics, the Wild blew out the Red Wings last night, the world of the NFL is still recovering from the Super Bowl and Minnesota fans are just waiting for their day in the sun.
But online, the battle rages on! With questions surrounding the delayed announcement of Kevin O’Connell becoming the next head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, fans have taken matters into their own hands and are now fighting over the claim of KOC on Wikipedia!
At least four times already today anonymous sources have updated O’Connell’s Wikipedia page. One time it will represent the colors of the L.A. Rams, the next the Minnesota Vikings, most recently a neutral gray and black. Then someone will update his current position to be head coach of the Vikings, then back to offensive coordinator of the Rams, it was even once set to be Head Coach of the Rams.
*Reminder: Wikipedia.com is an open source informational website. That means that while most of the information on the site is accurate, it’s crowd sourced by users. So any Average Joe could login and update the page at their leisure.
In the big scheme of things, it all means nothing. But as Vikings fans are sitting around twiddling their thumbs, waiting for the worst possible news to be announced, this is what we monitor for entertainment!

The latest reports from Schefter say that the Vikings plan to introduce O’Connell on Thursday. But let’s all remember back in 2018 when Schefter reported McDaniels as a done deal with the Colts on the same day that he pulled out and rescinded his acceptance to stay in New England.
