The Minnesota Vikings are a professional American football team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Vikings are members of the North Division of the National Football Conference in the National Football League (NFL). The club was founded by Minneapolis businessmen Bill Boyer, H. P. Skoglund and Max Winter in 1959 as a member of the American Football League. However, they forfeited their membership in January 1960 and became the National Football League's 14th franchise in 1961.[1]

There have been ten head coaches in the history of the franchise,[2] beginning with Norm Van Brocklin, who was head coach for six seasons between 1961 and 1967.[3] Van Brocklin's successor, Bud Grant, is the only coach to have had more than one tenure with the franchise, and also the only one to have won an NFL championship with the team, at the 1969 NFL Championship Game.[4][5] Grant is the all-time leader in games coached (243), wins (151), and winning percentage (.620).[4] Les Steckel has the worst winning percentage of the franchise's ten head coaches (.188), with just three wins in his only season in charge.[6] Two Vikings coaches have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Grant and Van Brocklin, although Van Brocklin was elected for his playing career.[7] Mike Tice is the only former Vikings player to have become a head coach for the franchise.[8] Dennis Green was the first African American head coach in franchise history. Former defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, who took over as interim head coach from Brad Childress after the latter was fired on November 22, 2010,[9] was the team's head coach from January 3, 2011, until December 30, 2013, when he was fired after compiling a 21–32–1 record as head coach.[10] On January 15, 2014, the Vikings appointed Mike Zimmer as the team's ninth head coach.[11] He served for eight years until being fired on January 10, 2022, compiling a 72–56–1 record with the team.[12] Two days after he helped the Los Angeles Rams to victory in Super Bowl LVI as their offensive coordinator, the Vikings signed Kevin O'Connell to be their 10th head coach in team history.
