Viking players got in trouble with jism
Their QB is as tough as a tonka
But split their locker room in a schism

And what top tier coach is going to want that mess next year?
-Aging (or recently retired) QB with no viable replacement.
-Aging D-line.
-Lots of free agents that will likely jump ship.
-Stadium lease mess.
Going to have to promote from within or elevate a current Coordinator from somewhere.

Are you kidding me? That’s an experienced coach’s wet dream. That gives them a blank slate to work with, under an owner who has shown he’s not afraid to open up his wallet to bring in good talent. They’ve already got one of the most important question marks figured out, and if you think AP doesn’t get the contract he deserves in MN, you’re crazy – Wilf loves the guy.

He’s Offensive Coordinator and Brett’s buddy.
And be sure to give him roster control.
Problem solved.

You would think after about 3-4 games this year that people would realize the Vikings ship is dead in the water.
People are all of a sudden waiting for them to flip a switch? Just remember, Chris Doleman isn’t walking through that door. Neither is John Randle, or Randall McDaniel, or Steve Jordan, or Cris Carter, or Gary Zimmerman, or Joey Browner.
This team sucks, pure and simple. Get used to it Vikes fans. It aint going to change whether they win this week or not. Brent isn’t getting any younger, Berrian won’t all of a sudden figure out how to catch passes, Gerhart won’t suddenly become Chester Taylor, Asher Allen won’t become Deion Sanders, etc. Not a very good team people. Open your eyes and get real!!

Otherwise, Chilly would have been fired on Monday.

He didn’t violate any team rules by releasing Moss, even if he had (as you incorrectly assumed) released him before telling ownership. Ownership was told BEFORE he was released and agreed with the release.
The only issue from ownership is that the players were notified before ownership was notified. Then players leaked it to the press and that’s how Wilf found out.

How many times has chilly gone on 4th and 1 instead of kicking the FG?
If the players don’t like the coach … they will not play for him PERIOD.

Aging Dline?
Allen – 28
Edwards – 25
Guion – 23
Robison – 26
KWill – 30
Kennedy – 31
PWill – 38
Ok…PWill is old…he’s probably going to retire next year…but old? dead wrong there…

Leslie Frazier as HC? Now, that’s a good idea. LMAO.

He has had issues with Favre, Moss, and now Harvin. His game decisions have been highly questionable and he has not handled any of the Viking issues competently or even respectably. As I have been saying since the Moss debacle, he will be fired by tomorrow regardless of how today’s game turns out. When that does happen, it may be the catalyst that the team can rally around to make a run. I do not know if frasier is the answer, but right now the guy dressed in Viking garb riding the motorcycle around the field (Ragnar?) could do less damage than Childress

If not, the Vikings will have to confront the fact that the roster has been getting old and that scapegoating the head coach will simply deflect legitimate blame from the front office.

And nobody saw this coming??? Gimme a break. This whole soap opera is beyond belief. The idea that a supposedly professional NFL franchise would put their ENTIRE fate in the hands of an over-the-hill, ego-driven moron without any back-up plan or alternate strategy is beyond belief! Couple that with a head coach who’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer and you get what you get! The Viqueens are who we thought they were and they deserve everything they’re getting! Sweep the house clean and start over while there’s still time to salvage a playoff spot.

1. Take square peg.
2. Pound into round hole.
3. Take a knee, and go to halftime.

It’s an open secret that Brett went to Ziggy and BEGGED for Moss.
