Kevin William O'Connell (born May 25, 1985), nicknamed "KOC", is an American football coach and former player who is the head coach for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League (NFL). O'Connell played quarterback for the San Diego State Aztecs, and was selected by the New England Patriots in the third round of the 2008 NFL draft.

    • Brief broadcasting career. In between his NFL playing days and his first coaching job in the league, as the Browns quarterbacks coach in 2015, O'Connell pivoted to broadcasting.
