Don\u2019t question the timing of Jay Glazer\u2019s reporting.<\/p>\n
During the \u201cFOX NFL Sunday\u201d pregame show airing before Week 18 on Jan. 5, insider Jay Glazer surprisingly reported that Vikings head coach Kevin O\u2019Connell had been drawing trade interest.<\/p>\n
Some had questions about the timing of the report while Minnesota prepared to battle the Lions for the division title and NFC\u2019s No. 1 seed that night.<\/p>\n
After the Vikings actually extended O\u2019Connell on Tuesday, NFL aggregator Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team \u2014 the same company led by ex-Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum that has been contracted to help the Jets find their next head coach \u2014 questioned the timeline and seemingly Glazer\u2019s intention.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have so many questions about the Kevin O\u2019Connell trade story that dropped on the morning of Week 18,\u201d Meirov posted on X. \u201cWhile I\u2019m sure teams were interested in trading for him, the timing couldn\u2019t have been worse for the #Vikings, given they were playing for the No. 1 seed that night.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Vikings would collapse from that point forward, losing to the Lions, 31-9, missing out on a first-round bye, and following that up with an equally embarrassing 27-9 playoff loss to the Rams in the wild-card game.<\/p>\n
Glazer, who has worked as a studio analyst and reporter for FOX since 2004, quote tweeted Meirov\u2019s post and offered a fiery response to anyone alleging nefarious tactics with his timing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWelp, the timing was because that is when our show airs Fox NFL SUNDAY. Not Wednesday or Thursday. SUNDAY,\u201d Glazer wrote. \u201cEvery year for probably the last 15 years the same weekend I do my ANNUAL coaching carousel segment and usually drop nuggets that day that aren\u2019t known. I don\u2019t work for Twitter, I work for FOX so I wait til Sunday to drop news. I hold news very often to use on FOX only.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cDid my job reporting what was going on behind the scenes in some of these searches. This narrative that I reported it to screw the Vikings when they were going to play the Lions is the dumbest s\u2013t I\u2019ve ever read\u2026 and I\u2019ve read some realllly dumb s\u2013t over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glazer also provided further context about his reporting on O\u2019Connell, who is regarded as one of the best NFL coaches and could bring home Coach of the Year honors following a 14-3 season.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh and btw, yes, there were in fact MULTIPLE teams interested in trading for KOC, and yes Vikings were aware of that,\u201d he wrote in his response. \u201cI never reported he\u2019s being traded bc that\u2019s up to Vikings. Just that he was on several team\u2019s to try to trade for. They did the smart thing by moving quickly to ensure he would happily be the Vikings head coach for years.\u201d<\/p>\n
Glazer unveiled his O\u2019Connell blockbuster while he offered other news on the eve of Black Monday, including accurate reporting that the Jaguars would fire Doug Pederson.<\/p>\n
Fox had a video package ready while he teased \u201cone candidate out there that will surprise you all,\u201d which proved to be O\u2019Connell before his team attempted to claim the NFC\u2019s No. 1 seed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are multiple teams that are actually considering trying to trade for Kevin O\u2019Connell,\u201d Glazer said. \u201cThe reason why? Next year, the last year of his deal. They have had no contract talks yet at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
With O\u2019Connell now locked into a new deal and the discussion put to rest, the Vikings face a critical offseason where they must figure out what to do at quarterback.<\/p>\n
J.J. McCarthy is rehabbing from multiple knee surgeries, while pending free agent Sam Darnold limped into the offseason after playing his two worst games of an otherwise wildly successful regular season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
