Chilly Firing and More

Every fan thought that the owner waited two weeks to long to fire Brad Childress.The reason he was still with the team this season was the magical year that Brett Favre and the offense had last season.Chilly received a 3 year contract extension last season.

Chilly lost the locker room due to the fact that he was unable to keep the respect of his players. I really do not think the fans gave Chilly much of a shot as the Vikings head coach. Who can blame them. He was unable to make in-game adjustments to what the other teams were doing. With the way that he treated Brett Favre, basically handing him the keys to the offense the past two years. Just look at what happened to Mike Sherman.

I do feel bad for the guy, but why would you give Favre so much leeway to show up whenever he wants to for training camp. Other players want stability and equality in the locker room.

With Childress out as Vikings head coach, the man to serve as interim will be Leslie Frazier. It is going to be interesting to see how Frazier handles a team that knows they will not make the playoffs unless to receive a lot of help. Will 6 weeks be enough to be able to tell that Frazier is fit to be the Vikes Head Coach next season? It will be interesting to see what the Vikes do here on out. Can they(the Viking players) do what the Cowboys are doing under Jason Garrett?

Looks Like Chilly Is Staying This Week

With the Vikes 27-24(OT) win over the Cards on Sunday was not much of a surprise. In this game it was much like the season has been going so far in 2010, up and down. With the heroics of Brett Favre and the receivers with 3 minutes and change left in the 4th quarter to comeback from a 14 point deficit. Favre had his more passing yards in a game for his career. His second 4oo yards passing performance, his last was when Percy Harvin was 5 years old.


The Cards capitalized from the Viking mistakes in this one, a Harvin fumble for a AZ TD and a kickoff for a TD. The Arizona offense was not all that great. With the Vikes finally started to apply pressure Derek Anderson was helpless under center getting sacked 6 times. Yeah that is right coming into the game that is how many sacks the Vikes had ALL season. 

With this win it puts some ice in the fire for the hot seat that Chilly is currently sitting on. With the firing of Wade Phillips, now the Vikes have the worst and most ridiculous coach in the NFL. Now barring a complete turnaround. This should be the final season for Chilly. It looks like the status will be week-to-week on his job status.

If I were Chilly I would be thanking my lucky stars that Favre had the game that he did. He and Wade would be in the unemployment line right now.

If The Fans Did Not Hate Chilly Before

As a Viking fan, it sure has been a LONG week from my perspective to say the least. As my loyal readers know that I live in the Green bay area. So you can understand where I am coming from.



If anyone has been desert on an island and even then I am sure you heard the news that the Vikings cut ties with WR Randy Moss.It was the decision on Head coach Brad Childress to do this because Moss. With this move, Chilly sure did put his butt on the fire once again. The owner of the Vikes was even considering firing Childress and keeping Moss from going on the waiver wire. It just seemed that Childress did not want to deal with Moss anymore. During the week, Childress stated that the trade for Moss was a 'poor decision.' If he is still the coach for the Vikes, the the franchise as a whole is in trouble.


I also heard that the Minnesota Timberwolves fanbase was chanting"FIRE CHILLY," during the game. It is just so sad to imagine that a coach has so much talent on the offense and is so clueless how to execute a game plan.

It is going to be interesting to see if the Vikes are going to playing hard against the Cardinals and win this Sunday. It is going to be a true test to see if Clueless Chilly has lost the locker room or not.
