Childress Fired!!!!!

[DonBo]

Just heard it on the radio.

[JIvers]

Confirmed: http://www.startribune.com/sports/vikings/109908409.html?elr=KArksLckD8EQDUoaEyqyP4O:DW3ckUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aU1yDEmP:QMDCinchO7DU

I wonder if Favre will drive Chilly to the airport?

Anyhow, good riddance--this season is lost, might as well start rebuilding now.

[TruthWalleyes]

OMG Awesome... Just like Moss leaving...Had to quick double check...Yep...Fired!!!!

[cbrooks]

[Ryan_V]

Buhhhh bye! Although its a little late

[Dylan33]

Now we run the table, finish 9-7 and miss the playoffs...umm yea...maybe a bit late on this one Zygi.

Love the news though. Just looking at the guy made me upset. Glad he is gone, now we cut ties with T-Jack and move forward trying to make a winning team.

[birdswacker]

Childress and Chris Cook (poor excuse for defensive back)should be walking out the door together!

[MontanaMax]

Frazier's first address to the players should be simple: "anyone who wants to be on this team next year better play their butts off every down thrugh the end of the season." Jason Garett got the Cowboys' attention that very same way.

[goblueM]

y'all should lose out so you have a shot at a QB like Andrew Luck or Ryan Mallet

[toughguy]

Not that I'm saying they shouldn't of fired Chilly but who are the players gonna blame for their play on the field now?

+1

Childress had alot to do with the 17 picks brent chucked into the opposing teams guts. Next, down with Favre.

[fishersofmen]

Exactly. Hope they are coming up with some good excuses now! I don't think Chili has what it takes to ever be one of the better coaches in the league, but how do you explain the performance of all these multi millionaires rolling over. Do these guys need a motivational speaker on top of their paycheck? Better bring someone in who can get in their face and make them pee down their legs.......

[Stcloudangler]

Cowher, Gruden, Ditka... mmm yea bring any of them on.

[CANOPY SAM]

I wonder if we could get John Grudin to come out of retirement? We need someone with that kind of fire in the belly!

[Gordie]

Wade Phillips is looking for a job

[Antero]

Now there is alot of pressure on the players. We have heard for 2 yrs how Chilly is holding them back, how his game planning was bad, how his playcalling was bad, etc. Well, now we will see. The schedule is fairly easy the rest of the way and if this team is truly as talented as we are led to believe they should easily win 5 of 6.

If these guys can not get it up so to speak, we will learn who was really to blame.

The Cowgirls players have sure stepped up since Wade was fired.

[SkunkedAgain]

The Packers are responsible for both the Cowboys and the Viking coaches being fired this season. Is that an NFL record? Who's next!

[fishersofmen]

I wonder how it feels to be fired from a job and handed a $6,500,000 check on the way out the door!!

[FISHINGURU]

I'm sure it feels good lol

I don't feel bad for him.

[toughguy]

I'm sure it feels good lol

I don't feel bad for him.

Me either. I wouldn't work another day in my life.

[Nick Kuhn]

About time. Glad to see him go. Any success the Vikings have had recently has been due to overwhelming talent. Never once did I feel that the Vikings won because of a well-prepared gameplan. Never once did I feel that the Vikings made needed adjustments at half-time. I really don't care if the Vikes win or lose the rest of the season. I just want to see something different. Good effort on the players part. Gameplans that throw some curveballs every now and then.

Never has so much been paid to so few for so little.

[reinhard1]

also i believe childress will get another football job down the line. good luck.

[tadster]

This was long overdue. they won in spite of this guy and his ego. he was too stubborn to adjust offensively after Peterson showed up, and continued to run tight formations, not allow QBs to audible(he wouldnt let Frerotte audible to a pass with 8-9 guys in the box(admitted it in a post game press conference). Fave audibled alot last year and that was a source of the tension between those two. there is absolutely zero creativity from this guy offensively. how often did they run play action on first down with AP in the backfield? should have been doing that 1/3 to 1/2 the time(watch the linebackers fly up to the line of scrimmage when they did do it) and see the middle of the field open up...then you have a quick throw for 5-6 yards(or more) and 2nd and 5 or less. opens things up. too many 3rd and long situations with his playcalling. run right on 1st. run left on 2nd. throw on 3rd. not predictable at all. d coordinators around had him figured out along time ago.
