If the owner decides not to go through with this, to fire Childress, and to keep Moss, would Moss be GOAT Minnesota athlete?

I haven't been watching TV, but that is interesting.

Clearly the message from Moss is that he'd come back w/ Chilly gone.

ooooh, reading around the interwebz, if Chilly acted beyond his authority here, Zygi can fire him for cause and get out of his contract.

I don't condone violence in any way, but I wouldn't be opposed to Chilly getting lynched.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...e-locker-room/

Quote:

ESPN's Chris Mortensen said on SportsCenter Monday evening that Childress has "lost the locker room."

"He really has," Mortensen said. "The players are not Childress guys right now. There's a sense there, 'does this head coach really know what he's doing?' That's the truth. You talk to people in that locker room, that's what you you're gonna get from them."

You have to wonder how strongly the front office remains "Childress guys" at this point. Childress did not tell management about his plan to cut Moss, according to NFL Network's Michael Lombardi. Childress has control over the 53-man roster, but this seems like a curious, if not self-destructive, time for Childress to go rogue and make a power play.

ONE TIME!

Wisdom from Tedy Bruschi:

Quote:

If Brad Childress is using this as a statement to make to his team about the right way of doing things, he lost his opportunity. That opportunity was last week when Brett Favre made the whole week about himself. He should have benched Brett Favre and played Tarvaris Jackson. That was his chance. If he’s trying to send a message, this is the wrong way to do it.

Just so you guys know my contract with CCU is up May 1st. I can come coach after that. Might have to wait til 2012, so hang onto chilly for one more year.

not a news source. speculation from a random internet commenter somewhere. daily norseman maybe.

Adam S just reported on ESPN that Zygi was not happy with what transpired this afternoon. "Zygi was instrumental in Randy returning to MN". (Remember also, Zygi really wanted Randy when he bought the team but Red MC dumped him before the deal iirc)

and he just tweeted it: Those who know Zygi Wilf say Vikings owner is angry his team plans to waive the player that he wanted, and worked to bring back, to Minn.

Because it could be a sticking point.

Childress is owed $5m/yr in '11, '12 and '13 iirc. I guess that is less than Favre's salary for this season though...

/edit slow pony

And you're right I think AJ, I remember that story about Red.

IF Chilly were to get fired, say tomorrow,

, Leslie Frazier is the obvious interim head coach choice. Which would be nice. Because we'd see whether or not he could handle the job first before giving him a long term deal (as in, Chilly gets fired at the end of the season and Frazier gets a 3-4 year deal to be head coach)

I'm not convinced on Frazier. I'd rather us go big with someone like Cowher or someone.

I'm with you 100%. Cowher is the guy I want most.

Gruden or even Billick would be fine if Cowher wont do it. I dont think Dungy wants to coach anymore, but he'd be a great choice as well.

It's funny in StarTribune land. When people comment on a story, you can click yes/no whether you agree with their comment. Right now the Fire Chilly comments are getting about 95% agreement.

Gruden has expressed his desire to have a chance to coach the vikes during telecasts. I'm assuming he'd jump at the chance. Billick - I have no idea but I know Moss loves him. Cowher - I would think if he ever wanted to coach again, he'd like to come into a situation with as much talent as we have. Zygi might be willing to throw a lot of money at a guy like him.

“This decision was made based on what we thought was in the best interests of the Minnesota Vikings, both in the short and long term,” said Head Coach Brad Childress. “We wish Randy the best as he moves forward in his career.”
