He's one of the big picture leaders of the team and in the entire NFL. He’s a huge whiner and definitely not a leader. Go read his Twitter post and you’ll easily find he’s not a leader. He’s outspoken sure but leader not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 More reports continue to confirm that Harbaugh is auditioning for the job, just as O’Connell, Morris, and Graham are. But it’s going to come down to who Kwesi and the Vikings choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This screams of the old school mentality that players have no choice but to buy in to what the coach is pedaling, "yes/no, coach" or "yes/no, sir" He's been far from a "whiner." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s going to come down to who Kwesi and the Vikings choose. Obviously. Just hope it’s Harbaugh. He’s the only one I feel confident that can create a winning culture right out of the gate. Feel like Morris and O’Connell May take a couple years just to figure out the basics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbaugh is seemingly the opposite of what we’ve heard from the Wilfs and Vikings as to what they are looking for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisplacedViking Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) This already has been the most entertaining off-season since Jared and the boys went down to Mississippi to recruit the old gun slinger!! And I include the HAWT TAKES I'm reading in this thread, lol! I watch and read about football just about every day since 1968, and I still don't claim to know which GM, Coach, or QB is great or horrible. For me it is fun, and entertaining, but of course winning is always more fun than losing. For my entertainment value give me the Kwesi/Harbaugh tandem. Kwesi is likely smarter than all of us combined so I trust his decision making more than my, or our collective opinions. And Harbaugh not only has an unbelievably successful winning record, but his eccentricity will be fun to either love or hate no matter if he's winning or not!! The Wilf's seem to like attention almost as much as Tom Brady and his daily retirement, hiring Harbaugh assures them and our Vikings more media attention than was experienced in 2009! Sign him tomorrow and let the circus begin!!! Edited February 1, 2022 by DisplacedViking 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a whiner. err... can you substantiate that, please? he was a catalyst? is this something you feel is factual and documented, or just an opinion you're stating as if it is factual? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Imagine the cajones it would take to turn down a proven winner like Jim Harbaugh and go with a completely unproven guy like Kevin O'Connell/etc... I'm not saying it necessarily is the wrong choice, but if you get that wrong you are toast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
