Columnist Chip Scoggins joins host Michael Rand to delve into various off-season football developments, focusing particularly on which of the town’s top football coaches might be facing the greatest risk of losing their job.
Introduction: Host Michael Rand reflects on the Wild’s recent four-game winning streak after the break and ponders if they can maintain consistent goaltending performance. Weak goaltending has been a concern this season, but improved performance down the stretch could lead to playoff contention. Additionally, there’s anticipation for a significant day ahead for the Wolves on ESPN next week.
9:00: Rand introduces Star Tribune columnist Chip Scoggins for an engaging discussion about the Vikings and Gophers football programs. It’s a pivotal offseason for Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, and head coach Kevin O’Connell’s future could hinge on the upcoming 2024 season. The conversation also touches on the speculation surrounding P.J. Fleck potentially moving to UCLA, and whether O’Connell or Fleck might face pressure in 2024 if their teams don’t perform well.
