The Minnesota head coach reaffirms his commitment to the team, despite reports of outside interest and contract uncertainties.

Kevin O'Connell, head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, addressed speculation about potential trade interest from multiple NFL teams, stating he is committed to remaining with the organization.
O'Connell, who is entering the final year of his contract, has not yet engaged in extension talks with the Vikings, fueling external speculation about his availability.
Vikings ownership, including Zygi and Mark Wilf, has expressed no interest in trading O'Connell and plans to discuss a contract extension after the playoffs.
O'Connell has led the Vikings to a 14-3 record this season, with quarterback Sam Darnold thriving under his guidance and emerging as a potential Comeback Player of the Year candidate.
The Vikings are set to face the Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card round, with O'Connell emphasizing his focus on preparing for the playoffs rather than addressing trade rumors.
