Um, how do you pronounce that nickname?
Can you please post the entire Wikipedia article so I can get some context clues? [Reply]
What Daboll did was impressive, but my vote would go to Pederson. Took an absolute clown show from last year and turned them into a playoff winner. [Reply]
It has been a while since Andy had the honor.

Certainly. Here you go.

(Then a bunch of stuff in the middle that is probably irrelevant.)
O'Connell led the Vikings to a 13-4 record on the season, tying Matt LaFleur and Jim Harbaugh for the second-most wins for a rookie head coach in NFL history. The Vikings won the NFC North for the first time since 2017, which was good enough for the NFC's third seed, but were defeated by the New York Giants in the Wild Card round by a final score of 31-24.

Thank u! Still not sure how to pronounce it. [Reply]
How did Reid not win it in 2013? He took a 2-14 team that was a complete dumpster fire the year before and got them into the playoffs. Aside from changing quarterbacks (which was a big improvement) it was essentially the same team as the year before. That one will always baffle me. [Reply]
