3 biggest reasons why Jim Harbaugh is not the Vikings new head coach

Before his interview, it seemed like a done deal, but in the end, the Minnesota Vikings decided to not hire Jim Harbaugh as their new head coach.

When he walked in the door to meet with the Minnesota Vikings on Wednesday morning, Jim Harbaugh was expecting his interview to end with him receiving a contract to become the team’s new head coach. But that’s not what ended up happening.

There are multiple reasons why the Vikings ultimately decided to make O’Connell the 10th head coach in franchise history, but there are a few reasons that stand out the most.
