dags, the coach has to coach first. Does he put his players in positions to succeed? I'm going to say no, because he has no control over his players. Then he goes and spouts his mouth off to the media postgame, or blames the referees. It has never been Brad Childress' fault when things go wrong.
The Vikings win in spite of Brad Childress most of the time. Now they lose because of him. You can't tell me if you go out there with no coaches that the Vikings won't be able to beat most of the teams in the NFL on talent alone.

Blame Chilly all you want for game management at times, acquiring players (Favre / Moss), game changing decisions like going for it, not going for it.....
however Chilly does not turn the ball over, throw pick 6's to the other team, not sack the QB for 3 straight games, jump offsides, miss blocking assignments, ect....
all I'm saying it is a team effort, or is suppose to be....

Right. We can't blame players and assume that coaches have no accountability. He has enough players that it should not be difficult to put an outstanding team together.
Childress just seems clueless in terms of how to run the ship. I think it would be a fair guess to say that he isn't well-respected by his players in general, but especially after two consecutive Favre fiasco offseasons. Granted, the first worked out for him, but this year couldn't have been a real respect-earning enterprise.
Old thread, but thought it fit here. Not sure why Vikings fans think it's a given for Chilly to be shown the door if this season is indeed over. He's owed $13 million through 2013. If you fire him, the Vikes would be on the hook for about $7-$8 million per year for the new head coach and Chilly.
IMO, he's not going anywhere.

With money owed, and next year still being up in the air as to weather or not there will be a season. I'm sure Chili isn't going anywhere. None the less, it got me thinking. Completely hypothetical here. If Chizik finishes this year with Auburn and brings them a NC, I think his name is hotter than every. I know the college to pro transition usually doesn't work, but it seems that Chizik has been able to float from job to job, moving up in the ranks pretty easily.
I'm not saying it's going to happen or even a possibility, I just couldn't help but think about it though because there was a lot of talk yesterday on Chicago sports radio about how Childress has to be on the hot seat with the Moss debacle. I started running possible coaches to hire in my mind. If Childress is gone in MN and Chizik got the offer, would he go? Personally, I think he'd jump in a minute. Even though he's entrenched in Auburn.

Oh, I would too. I'd say send em to LA for all I care.
It's just been on my mind since yesterday, so I was wondering what others thought.
I think that Childress is there to stay for a while. But I heard on ESPN that they did a poll and "80% of Minnesotans want him fired"
There are quite a few Packers and Bears fans in Minnesota that I'm sure don't want to see Chilly fired - therefore the non unanimous vote.
I would be too. I think Childress will be gone if they dont make the playoffs this year. Then hopefully we promote Fraizer or go get Jon Gruden.
Idiot!
Listen Chilly -- the fans deserve a full answer -- the good, bad, and the ugly. If you can't man up and provide it, then you come off as the bigger fool.
Next Vikings Coach
I think all of us Viking fans know that Childress will not be the coach next year, or he might not even make it this whole season. I just have a question for all of you. Who do you want for coach? Would you like to promote Fraizer to head coach or go look for someone else? I think he would do a fine job, but if it was me i'd go after Jon Gruden.
