Everyone over on the purple board, safe Marradro and I, seems refreshed with the move.

Haven't logged on there yet today, but I'm 100% certain that there isn't a soul there now that isn't refreshed with the move.

Personally.. I wish they would have promoted someone other than Frasier.

Thought so, but wasn't sure which angle you were going with.

I'm totally on board with Frazier, hopefully they'll keep him around to see what he can do.

Shoot.....the division just got more competitive! A great day for a cheesehead in Minnesota, to be sure!

How so, exactly? Every person on my Facebook (mostly Viking fans) are extremely happy about this.

Over/under on VikesRule coming back?

First, that's a pretty sad Facebook page.
Second, I think he's saying with Childress gone, the Vikings will be more competitive. How that's a great day for a Packers fan (assuming cheesehead is such) ... maybe because the division will be respected more?

Would love to see Vikesrule return. I'd even covenant to reduce the Vike bashing (though Minnesota would still be open game).

I'd say it's ggod for cheeseheads, as MAYBE the Vikings will wake up JUST enough to knock off the Bears, thus helping us.

Man this actually sucks - I liked the fact chilly was the MN HC ... it was pretty interesting that they fired childress then bench brent.

I guess what is funnier is that we sacked 2 HCs in the past 2 games ... impressive stats 😉

Here's the most insightful article I've read about the Childress firing, from Kevin Seifert over at ESPN:

Why are folks so unwilling to tie Favre directly to the downfall of both Childress and the Vikings. By abandoning his own principles, Childress gave in to a frivolous decision to bring in a giant ego who questioned his authority, and backed it up with a track record on the field. When the 3 amigos flew down to the armpit in August, it was clear that the team had no self respect. They humiliated themselves and the entire organization by begging. With that as a backdrop, and high expectations following their every step, failure was a fait accompli.

He failed because his healthy, veteran team became an injury plagued, old team before our eyes. The offensive and defensive lines, strengths for much of last year, became obvious weaknesses. Their QB has been seriously banged up all year and they have been without their best WR all season and their second best WR cannot seem to get on the practice field.

Childress probably had to lose his job because the team was falling into chaos, but let's not pretend this season is all on the HC. None of the problems that led to Childress losing his job would have occurred, or been noticed, if the team performed better, and much of the drop in performance lies squarely on the players.

Winning makes everything go away.
They won last year, so the "warts" stayed covered.
This year, they are in full view for all to see.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.

beast (10-Mar) : I don't think the media person ever told the public the source, but Gute or LaFleur did say they thought Tom has earned his spot at OT

beast (10-Mar) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster
