The majority of Viking fans that have wanted Chilly out have been cheering against the Vikes since Chilly's arrival (the ones I've met/talked to). So they don't count. The fact of the matter is, since Chilly has been here, prior to this year, his teams have progressed, not regressed, in the W-L category. This year is definitely the exception to the rule.

I'm not saying his day-to-day coaching mindset is flawless. But the teams he has assembled, drafted, and put together have been very exceptional. Hell, the man has 2 rookie of the year award winners in his 4 1/2 year tenure as the Vikings coach. One of the ROY was passed on by a more than a few teams because of his past. Now the kid is a bona-fide NFL stud, despite his migraines.

The guy would be a much better coach, IMO, if he would lose his control freak tendencies and call some more PA/counter run plays (read: Make his play-calling a bit more imaginative). This is where he's lost a few fans support, and is starting to lose mine.

To blatantly call him out as a non-NFL head coach during his first stint as a head coach is premature. And from your point of view, that's more wishful thinking than anything else. I'm hoping hes the Vikings version of Bill Beli-cheat, or the Cows' Jimmy Johnson, or the Stillers' Bill Cowher. He just has to figure his learning curve, go through his bumps, take his lumps and learn from them. As far as right now, it's not looking like he is. I hope I'm wrong.

Actually, it's not official. The only word we have is Chilly's word to the team, in which he's said that 'Randy's gone right now'. He could have meant that Randy is not going to join 'us as a team' until later this week and the players understood him as saying Randy is being or has been waived/cut from the team.

All these reports are media reports. The team has not come out and said anything to the media yet. The NFL has not gotten any waivers from the Vikings, and Moss agent hasn't been notified yet (made his comments as per what he's heard from the media).

I'm not saying this isn't going to happen. Who knows with Chilly and this team. But I am saying nothing is official yet (as of 0345 Tuesday). My hope is that the WIlf's catch wind of this and override Chilly's decision (if he really meant to cut Moss). I mean, the Vikes DID give out a 3rd round pick and only had him for just over 3 weeks. This is not a fair shake.
