This is all the New Orleans Saints fault…boo hoo! If it weren’t for those mean old dirty hits on Favre and NFCCG refs, the viqueens would be undefeated right now…I’m loving this and just can’t get enough of it! Viqueens…what a pathetic disgrace!

The Packers have great team chemistry this year. I don’t think they want to ruin it.
I can see the Bears being interested though.
My bets for where Randy winds up are either Chicago or Indianapolis.
The Jets are another possibility.

Screw Wilf. So what if he writes the checks. He’s not the coach and should stay out of these decisions. No one can coach under committee.
Acquiring a player is different since money is involved, but cutting one isn’t.
Wilf has visions of a Moss Rice combo lighting it up but that ain’t happening now.
If Wilf would block this somehow then Chilly has to resign.

Uh, no, wrong. Unless another team claims Moss on waivers, the Vikings are on the hook for the remainder of his salary – even if he goes elsewhere. That is very much a money decision.
I don’t hear many complaints from Bill Belichick. He has input into personnel decisions, but even as coach he certainly doesn’t have final say. Same with Andy Reid. Childress cut Moss purely because he came out and said what everyone knows; Chilly isn’t good enough to carry Belichick’s hoody.

Please Mr. Wilf, I beg you, fire Childress!!! Frazier will be a way better coach, everyone knows that. And bring back Moss – we need him if we really wanna go anywhere.

“The fact that he doesn’t understand this basic concept of organizational dynamics makes us wonder whether he’s smart enough to coach an NFL team.”
Florio, anyone who is a Vikings fan has known that Chili isn’t smart enough to coach an NFL team since the first season he was here. He’s got a bigger ego than Favre and Moss combined. Although it was never said publicly, the game at Soldier field (week 16) last year was a showcase of how Childress does things. The first half was run the way Chili runs the West Coast Offense, and the 2nd half was run the way someone who knows what the hell they are doing (Favre). The result? Zero points in the first half and 30 in the 2nd half, almost pulling out an overtime win.
Childress is a first rate d-bag and needs to go NOW.

Childress has gone too far this time. It would have been better to dump Chidress and keep one of the best receivers in football history. Childress couldn’t coach his way out of paper bag if he had to! Why in the world would trade a 3rd round pick for somebody, only to release him 4 weeks later. It’s time to end Czar Childress before he trades away another star player just so he can feel empowered. Notice to Bad Childress: go back to being a mediocre Offensive Coordinator and leave Minnesota, we true Viking fans don’t want you here any longer. Go back to Philly! Hell, go anywhere but here. I have been a Viking’s fan for 42yrs, and it’s beginning to look like 1983 all over again. Last was a good one, not because of Bad Childress, but inspite of him. If not for Favre, Sidney Rice, Ap, etc last season would have been a disasster. Wake up and smell the coffee Zygi, it’s time for you to make a coaching change!

Ziggy should not be happy but his main problem is not Coach Childress, its bringing back the sex pervert and the extra $7 million he had to pay for that privilege.
Childress suffers like most geniuses; he is misunderstood and not fully appreciated. His true potential can only be realized when he has a QB willing to play within his system, 53 players that worship at his directive, and a full stadium of adoring fans willing to buy tickets to witness his innovative play calling. Until all elements are in place, you cannot expect him to succeed so get on board Viking fans, Childress will do his part if you do yours.

I think it is time to give Frazier a chance before another team grabs him and we lose him.

I call, bullsh** on Wilf. You are the OWNER. You don’t want Randy Moss cut? Then simply say “NO.”
There is absolutely no discipline or chain of command in that franchise, from the QB to the Head Coach all the way up to the Owner.

Maybe Childress has managed his money well, instead of blowing it like many players do, and he doesn’t care what happens. Maybe he has had enough of the Brett Farve/ Randy Moss ego stroking show.

The paperwork reportedly wasn’t filed as of Monday night. Mike, why doesn’t Zygi just squelch the release Tuesday AM and then immediately sack Chilly and replace him with Frazier? Any chance of this?

Chilly talks about doing things “his way”. What is that, exactly… Lying to everyone, not keeping your boss informed, holding grudges, and squelching any criticism? In case they have a remake of The Caine Mutiny, here’s your candidate for Captain Queeg.

Childress is an absolute moron. I hope he never gets a job in the NFL, let alone professional or semi-professional sport ever again. Waste of oxygen.

Nothing that idiot has done in the last 18 months has made much sense at all. His team is the laughing stock of the NFL. To think a 41 year old over-the-hill egomaniac is going to take you to the promised land is absurd. He should be fired and the sooner the better.

Why would an owner be upset with a coach for trading a (looks to be a high) 3rd round pick for 13 catches and 2 TDs?

Leslie Frazier is considered a bright young head coach in waiting who was interviewed by several teams for their head coaching positions. As a Lions fan, I’d rather see the Vikings keep Childress, who has proven himself to be an idiot.

The Wilf family has EARNED the right to be included in “Moss” type decisions regardless of Chilly’s contractual rights. Each and every real fan loves the Wilf family and their efforts to build our team. Chilly may or may not have the motors to be an NFL head coach, who knows. What we do know is that he can’t evaluate QB’s or manage a team on Game Day. Something must change – SOON!

He has lost the team and since the Vikings ar ea long-shot to get a wild-card now, the best thing is to let him go now, and see what you have in Frazier as a coach and Travaris as a young QB.

Not a way to get a stadium. Chilly is the cancer not Moss. Fire him and lets start winning.

Ok Ziggy. Un-waive Randy. Waive good bye to Chilly. Fans win. Favre wins. Frasier wins. Your push for a new stadium gains more momentum. Your team will still not become .500 this year, but at least you will have done “something”. You still have time to reverse the curse of chilly dawg. Do it.

If Wilf is “not happy” with this latest in dozens of blunders by the king of blunders, why in the hell has he not done the right thing and fire Childress??
What am I missing here Mr. Wilf?
Why should I keep thinking that the Vikings will ever be a competitive team when you insist on keeping a moron coaching the Vikings?

Makes you wonder if he’s smart enough to coach an NFL team? Time to put down the purple colored glasses Florio, he has never shown the ability to coach. All Packer fans are glad he never left Minnesota to interview for the Packer job.

Haven’t said it for a couple years, but fire childress. Pay sixteen MIL for a qb who just can’t play and play him instead of the better option (thats right, I mean TARVARIS) and then dump your best wr and essentially give away a third round pick dropping someone who takes ALL the coverage away from Percy. Let’s be real: Rick spielman drafted Adrian and Percy – not childress. Keep moss. Drop brad. Put farve as coach
