Sucks, they are on the hook for any contract they signed. Most people in the real world may get some severance pay at best when they get fired.

we can't get a break! Leslie Frazer will motivate this team and beat us!

Lets relax the vikings are a 3 win team and just got smacked around by a team we beat. Do they have a lot of talent? Sure they do but they arent just going to magically transform into an unbeatable juggernaut because Childress is gone

Um, did you see the Giants/Dallas game after Wade Phillips got fired?

Some teams have finished the season hot after starting slow...Marty's Skins come to mind. And Childress seems like a guy who is easy to hate. Now that he's gone, the stress of just seeing him is gone, and every Vike player has a somewhat clearer mind.

I agree here. Minnesota is not a good team this year. Who cares if they fired their coach. They're still playing like shit. But they could easily come into Fed Ex and beat us cause we're not a good team either.

Minnesota will probably "wake up" like Dallas. Now, when a talented team "wakes up" they usually starting crushing their opponents.

The big question is...will Favre play or not? I do agree that this SUCKS for us. I know we're banged up, but I hope Shanahan gets this team ready. I'm getting tired of this team needed to get some extra boost to perform well (i.e. McNabb getting back to Philly or getting blown up by the Eagles). Although I think this time we may have the motivation but not enough healthy bodies.

The Williams wall may not be a great wall anymore, but should Rabach be starting again, I think we'll be stuffed. And Ray Edwards is pretty good too.

Also, I think Tarvaris can patch together a better performance than Young did. He has had stretches of playing really well.

As for Favre, we should blitz the old man to death. He can't get away.

Frazier is their guy but I wish we played them with chilly, now I could see the Viks actually play hard against us

[LavaRnChad]

I hope their asst. Head coach don't wake up the talent like Garrett did in Dallas or we could be in for a long day.

Yes I saw it.....searched for some kind of come back or point to make and came up rather empty! But its Monday after a win and I'm trying to be positive!

Honestly though, I'm a bit concern about how banged up our team is right now. I do hope Shanahan watched that Giants/Dallas game and prepares for a motivated Vikes team.

To ease some fears here, here's a sample of interim coaches over the past few years and the result of their debut.

Perry Fewell (took over 3-6 Buffalo): Lost to Jacksonville
Mike Singletary (took over 2-5 San Fran): Lost to Seattle
Tom Cable (took over 1-3 Oakland): Lost to New Orleans
Emitt Thomas (took over 3-10 Atlanta): Lost to Tampa
Dick Jauron (took over 4-7 Detroit): Lost to Minnesota

None of these teams was in the conference championship game the season before were they? The vikes are more comparable to dallas' firing of Wade, they have the talent just not the chemistry, leadership, etc. this year. Plus, Rice now has a game under his belt.
