Most reporters blame Speilman for the Freeman fiasco. Here Patrick Reusse claims it was all Frazier's doing. http://www.1500espn.com/sportswire/PJR_A_timeline_for_the_falling_out_of_Spielman_and_Frazier010114 "11-October 2013: The Vikings signed Josh Freeman, released in Tampa Bay, coming off their bye week. The legend had been this happened strictly on Spielman's initiative. In actuality, Frazier pushed hard to sign Freeman and the Wilfs went along with the idea. The coach knew he had to win some games with a "quarterback of the future'' (meaning, not Cassel) to save his job. He also had seen enough from Ponder to know he wasn't the guy, and was hoping it could be Freeman."
i've read some good things about Gary Patterson...the guy likes to speak his mind the one thing he has that the Vikings need bad is a HC that shows leadership and toughness....can he make it in the NFL? and will he want to leave TCU for the NFL
Good questions and I am starting to wonder if the last one is the the theme for why his name isn't mentioned. Maybe he simply does not want to be an NFL HC.
I think thats a real good possibility. He's signed threw 2018, and probably likes the gig he's got. ...and someone who can bring in a posse that has great coordinators. Vikes need a lot of help, all across the board, imo. I want that defense put back together...it used to be the bread and butter of the the Vikings, not even so long ago.
...and only the 3rd time in franchise history. One of the benefits of a crappy season. Heard Lovie Smith hired Frazier as his offensive coordinator in Tamps Bay. Good luck with that.
i've read that Frazier is the Buc's DC....it will interesting to see if Erin Henderson gets any jail time who am i kidding he won't see none,oh and show Alan Williams and his Tampa 2 the door its been terrible
Jay Gruden? i rather hope they get either Todd Bowles or Mike Zimmer,for head coach,the GM cannot afford to miss here cause the Ponder mess really hurt the Vikings BIG TIME!!!!!!
Yep...Its a nerve racking time in Minnesota. They must be careful and get it right. I believe the Vikings are a very talented team, but i also believe they will only be great if the ones in control are, and they had better know what their doing. What the hell is Bud Grant doing these days?
Maybe Bud Grant should be in the front office,it would not hurt to have someone with some know how....i have no idea what Bud Grant is doing
i feel zimmer called a good game,in the playoff game against the Chargers....the Bengals QB choked ( cough cough ) Mike Zimmer might be able fix the Vikings D,he fixed the Bengals D....Vikings need to get younger and get some badly needed play makers
