    "We know that [Brad] Childress doesn't have our backs, so why should we have his?" one player told the newspaper. "We're playing for us, and we're winning despite him."


    It seems I would just fire him, let the players play for the Leslie Frazier (it seems he's the in house heir anyway) n hope that inspires some of them including Favre. Right now it just seems like he can't get the most out of players and now they want to make him walk the plank. Don't see any advantage to keeping your head coach once that stuff is leaked...

    you can go to any team and find a player that will say that. what coach doesnt have players on the team that hate him? only difference is most the other teams dont have rachel nichols and ed werder hovering around every second looking for anything to create a story

    but yeah, he should probably be fired. not for what some anonymous player says though

    Im shocked that he is at odds with Favre, fires Moss & questions Harvin and is still around as well, id fired him a long time ago.

    Frazer is a great coach.. I hope chilly gets fired and we can have him as an interim coach!

    Then maybe we wont miss out on another great coach (Read as: Mike Tomlin)

    Sigh the vikings are just a terrible organization and have been for as long as I can remember.
    They are beyond depressing and can never get the job done when they should.

    Complete let down imo.

    This player doesn't, he's fucking history and knows it. Let him go into the real world and try a real job.

    Childress is one foot out the door, but is obviously too stooooooooooooopid to comprehend that.

    As was stated in another thread, at least Wade Phillips seems a decent man (who likely isn't cut out for another head gig). Hard to discern any redeeming qualities in Dumbo Childress.
