Yep, they are 5 -6 good guys and a qb from being a great team. Hope the draft and free agent market is shopped wisely. 2 secondary,2 d line,1 o line, 1 wr, and a good top qb.
It's official and not exactly a surprise: Leslie Frazier has been fired as the Vikings' coach.
The Vikings made the announcement in a news release Monday morning.
Vikings general manager Rick Spielman was not fired so the chances of this team improving with a new coach aren't all that great. Spielman is at the root of many of the issues related to the Vikings' failure to win more than five games.
After the Vikings' win over Detroit Sunday, Frazier fingered Spielman and team ownership as having input in the quarterback position, saying, "ownership and the general manager" were "involved to some degree" and that "the quarterback is a franchise position. It's a collective decision."
Good luck finding a worthwhile new coach who wants to deal with meddling from the general manager and team owners, particularly when it involves the quarterback position.
In the announcement of the firing, Spielman said, "Unfortunately, we did not achieve consistent success and did not achieve the progress we expected. We believe a coaching change is needed to help build a successful team moving forward."
Well, many fans and media members believe a general manager change is needed to help build a successful team moving forward.
Chiefs at Colts. Chiefs I hope.
Saints at Eagles. Eagles I REALLY hope, I still HATE the Saints for the Bounty thing.

Their sold out, they will be there.:thumbsup: They should win that one easy. The old vikes advantage.

They get 2 games against teams that finished in the same spot in their division as the Vikings did the previous year in the NFC outside of the division they play four games against already (1 on the road, 1 at home)
Yes bengals would be the first place I would look for a coach You notice when good teams need a coach they go get them from other good teams. Not the longhorn sheep they go to the gutter:thumbsup: Oh well three more wasted years:10sign: Where'd they find speilman GM camp for losers
Cooty, I think your trip to the north pole , has frosted your thinking, I don't know why you are picking on the poor vikings. They are in a not good place, but why do you want to kick them when they are down????? LOL
