My guess is that they didn't do it sooner because they didn't know who else was going to be available.

Lots of moving parts this time of year

Firing a guy is easy and takes no time at all. Finding a suitable replacement is the vastly more challenging part to handle.

As for Kwesi - making a mistake on the QB is especially painful for these vikes because they are built to win now, not in the midst of a 3 yr rebuild.

They're also $ 48M over next year's cap and decided Kwesi isn't gonna be the one to clean up Kwesi's mess
