Summary
Ep. #23: This week, Peanut and Roman are joined by Minnesota Vikings Head Coach, Kevin O’Connell. Kevin starts off by discussing what it was like celebrating a Super Bowl win with the Rams while simultaneously doing all the preparation to become a head coach and how he wasn’t able to soak it all in. He also talks about how advantageous it has been to have worked with so many great coaches throughout his time in the NFL as both a player and coach and which individual he credits the most for his early success. Kevin goes on to discuss some of the challenges he's anticipating going into year two with the Vikings and talks about the importance of identifying the “why” with his players. Peanut and Roman are also joined by another man taking up the headlines, Bears General Manager, Ryan Poles. Ryan first gets into how the trade back from the #1 pick went down and what negotiating trades with other teams is actually like. He then talks about the journey that led to him becoming the General Manager of the Bears and how his 13 years with the Chiefs shaped his overall knowledge of the league. The guys also ask Poles what his first few months on the job was like and he details a signing-gone-wrong that was a serious gut-punch for his initial confidence. Finally, Ryan offers his own advice to those hoping to one day hold a position like his own.
