We went from Mike Zimmer to this guy. I still can't believe it.. perfect hire

[@brandontull8937]

Gota love KOC! I hope he wins coach of the year

[@justingraham2656]

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Went from shut up trust me I’m right to a head coach who explains (as much as he can) every facet of his football team and how he views it. KOC has a huge football brain and I love it!

[@davidwilkins5932]

This is a good show. I’ve checked the KZbin presence of many NFL teams, and not only is ours one of the best, but we have more subscribers than most other teams. Some are pathetically low.

[@extendedclips]

💯

[@Ken_Scaletta]

I think those numbers tend to depend on how well the team is doing. Teams that are out of contention are going to draw less interest. Lions forums used to be empty.

[@Jerryattrickliverspottedhands]

They’ve have best team coverage here without a doubt

[@davidwilkins5932]

@@Ken_Scaletta The Lions are at 248K, the Packers are at 188K, the Bills are at 182K, and we are at 336K. Not bad, but the Chiefs and Eagles are way ahead of us. Most of this stuff is legacy and presentation. Few people will bother to unsubscribe from a free service due to downturn of record.

[@RDAmidwest]

Quality entertainment always finds a quality audience. This is an extension of the team's success, but very well produced. Otherwise we would not be compelled to watch. It all works together.

[@martymcfly7473]

Forget about all the players and Coaches. We are so blessed to have the Wilfs as Owners. Thank you so much for actually caring about our franchise and community . The best organization as a whole in football. Let’s go get a Championship. SKOL4LIFE

[@RDAmidwest]

Marty McFly: Please check your sports almanac & let us know which seasons we win Lombardi's. I promise not to bet, I just want to make sure I record every game on the dvr.

[@rudyb2755]

KOC is the best coach ever. 💜 Thank you, KOC. SKOL

[@MNSkolGirl]

Coach of the Year 💜💛 Fans need to be LOUD Monday, do it for KOC!

[@pvrpleheff]

We love u koc keep prospering 🙏🏾💜💜🙌🏾

[@brandontull8937]

KOC seems like such a great coach, he's so good with his words and obviously he's a brilliant football mind, vikes are lucky to have him!

[@Ranchxy]

I can’t get enough of this guy

[@kendallpeters6451]

Coach Kev is gotta be “Coach of the Year “. For goodness gracious, he and his staff have been great all season long. Getting the guys in the best physical and mental shape as possible. And the guys are all in with the scheme. And Kev’s right. We’re peaking at just the right time . Maybe a game to soon but…SKOL!👁❤️😋🏈🇺🇸

[@northwayoutdoors]

I love this coach!!

[@RonnieValdez-q8e]

KOC a true leader of men and my beloved 😍 Vikings

[@edwalter4425]

tipped footballs can turn into interceptions, so proud of this team, and thank you to our great owners as well.

[@Bromel90]

our great coach will be in Hall of Fame someday SKOL !

[@coachkenkyles]

In KOC I trust. I think he'll be the Vikings HC for decades. And the the Vikings will continue to be contenders because of it. The future is bright Vikings fans. I can almost taste a Lombardi or two coming soon

[@MinnesotaEverything]

Please add another 300 NT Kwesi we need the depth on defense for the run in the playoffs

[@robe2504]

I think Taimani could come back off IR.

[@luvtasinga]

K O C - you are the best!

[@PreachTMusic]

From now on I’m gonna have to call KOC “Baby Bud” 🏈 The kid is gonna have a tenure that’ll be similar to our legendary coach Bud Grant ✝️RIH

[@RonnieValdez-q8e]

KOC coach of the year hands down easy donuts. He's the real captain

[@Flk0217]

I honestly don’t know why he’s not talked about more. Campbell is great but the Lions were going to be good either way. Same with LaFleur. Harbaugh can be in the mix but NO ONE put us anywhere near 10 wins this year. KOC is a massive part of that.

[@KingDavid-D37]

Well done. Fans will never figure out the whole story. Stick to your plan. Skol.

[@robe2504]

100%. Some show was talking about how McVay always holds some stuff back for the playoffs. KOC has been taught well. I don't think he is going to waste his best stuff when games are under control.

[@Adam-bx2br]

KOC is the second coming of Bud Grant but this time on the offensive side. Sign this man to a LONG term contract.

[@Bromel90]

he looks like a young Bud Grant

[@florencedahl3617]

Give him an extension

[@petercieluch9255]

What they do or not do with Sam depends on how far this team goes. Losing the first playoff game, it's easy. Getting to the NFC championship game is much more difficult. Get to the SB and maybe win it, impossible. If that happens, the fan base will want him back.

[@redbirdrising5734]

This is what sanity sounds like. Finally. Not since Bud Grant.

[@Sinistra359]

Skooool!!!!

[@dwaynebembry323]

I like the attitude. They are coming, whether the National media want to acknowledge them or not

[@pugg3762]

No way Campbell wins COTY, ITS GONNA BE KOC IDGAF!

[@AndrewJevicks]

You guys got a great coach and a great team so no trash talk here . I am a lifelong Lions guy but no shame in admitting you guys have a great team , well coached and great players with talent across the board. Hopefully that last game against the Lions is for the top seed. Should be a great game and though we are a mash unit on defense will all our injuries we should hold up our own and should be great game. Will suck if we lose but if we do hats off this team as you're a Super Bowl Caliber team. Looking forward to the game in a few weeks.

[@donXjuan]

Witness 👏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 SKOL💜💜

[@brandontull8937]

KOC for coach of the year! He deserves it!!!

[@ChrisChartier-u2q]

Pay KOC Jettas money, most valuable person on this team

[@florencedahl3617]

At 11-2 keep getting the wins to see where the Vikings goes from here in the playoff berth picture

[@heinzbucksandcastle2053]

KOC in his third year, two losses. 2022 four losses. Last year was a mess, so if you cherry pick the even years the dude is 24 and 6, 24 and 6, repeat that again.

[@lifevest1]

Anyone know where I can listen to replays of PA's game calls?

[@lordjaraxxus3864]

Imagine if it snows and Caleb can't see the defenders wearing white out.

[@Demonicon]

Butter up Eberflus. We might need him if Bflo leaves, god forbid. You never know.

[@tjdmt297]

Bears fan here I’m not watching the game. Gonna do something better with my time. Happy for Sam Darnold always thought he was underrated. Hoping the Bears lose 50-0 infront of everyone. The embarrassment they deserve

[@karlk1004]

Fix your o line and get a long term coach and you guys will be fine. I hope not though lol

[@HadesZander-q6z]

I'm sorry you as a bears fan has had to deal with the non stop losing and bad ownership i hope that caleb keeps developing and you can finally start winning in the future yall been bad for far too long

[@robe2504]

Peaking in December through January and not wasting energy on 50 point blowouts on basement teams in week 10.

[@RDAmidwest]

I hope those Bears 🐻 show proper gratitude for being allowed to play inside a warm, windless stadium rather than the frozen wasteland outdoors. They should offer a vigorous effort but not score any points. That would be disrespectful and ungrateful. So let's skore 50 this week, SKOL!

[@Godless-Being]

The real competition comes in January against the kitties

[@DoubleL.]

Where’s the field access?!

[@DerrickRG]

Was that a Mike Tice driveby? Lol

[@colonelangus9865]

I've never heard the word ancillary so much in such a short period of time. Word of the day toilet paper? Classic PA. 🤦‍♂️
