The 35-year-old has a contract valid until the conclusion of the 2025 season and no negotiations regarding a contract extension have reportedly been initiated.
With Minnesota since 2022, O’Connell has a 34-16 record. His team still has the chance to take first place in the National Association in 2024, which will play its last game of the regular season this Sunday evening, against the Detroit Lions.
The California native played a few seasons as a backup quarterback in the NFL before making the jump to coaching. Before getting his first chance as a driver with the Vikings, he held several positions with the Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, Washington Redskins and Los Angeles Rams.
