Vikings are warship err umm, i mean loveboat :D
That's tomorrow.
I hope.
Trade Culpepper to Houston for David Carr. Even trade. Carr has a cannon and can be very accurate if he is not getting sacked 40 times a year.
Get rid of Onterrio Smith and sign Michael Turner from San Diego.
A few new offensive linemen would also help.
Trade Fred Smoot. The guy can't cover. Keep the rest of the secondary. Sharper, Winfield, Chavous and Robertson are arguably the best in football. We also don't have much of a linbacker crew. Dontarrious Thomas has not developed like the Vikes had hoped.
Potential coaches
Steve Mariucci, Jack Del Rio (who played for the Vikings), Mike Shanahan, Norm Chao, Charlie Weiss, Brian Billick.
My top three of those would be Mariucci, Billick and Del Rio.
I'm on the bring Tony Dungy back to MN bandwagon.
I would be too if I did not think Dungy was happy with the situation in Indianapolis. I think Dungy has that team exactly where he wants it to be and he has a good rapport with the management.
Most of those - 11 - came when there was only 4 teams in the league.
Your secondary is not up to your rating. Mediocre.
Del Rio is not going to come to Minnesota to coach since he already has a job with a non-madhouse team. In fact, none of your wished for coaches would take that job except perhaps Mariucci. He might be good for you.
Let me guess...Bears fan. :)
While true that fact has nothing to do with my comment.
Just announced: Tice hired by Jaguars as Assistant Head Coach. May take over offensive line coach position as well... but that hasn't been announced yet.
