Childress needs to go
Last season, Brett Favre had a career year in Minnesota and not only saved coach Brad Childress’ job, but earned him a contract extension out of nowhere. As anyone who follows football in Minnesota will tell you, a contract extension is a sure sign a coach is about to be booted out the door within a year. It’s happened twice at the University of Minnesota alone in the last four or five years.
Whether anyone can prove through Bioidentical hormone therapy Austin whether Brad Childress and Glen Mason are the same person or not, it’s clear Childress needs to be handed his walking papers. And I’ll tell you exactly how it should happen: on January 2nd, right after a rousing moral victory over Detroit, Zygi Wilf should walk out onto the field, shake Childress’ hand to congratulate him, and then extend the other hand to him, offering him his walking papers. That’s how Tice’s exit was handled, and Childress deserves no less.
The real question is who might replace Childress. Tony Dungy would be a dream candidate, but I doubt he wants to take over this mess. Leslie Frazier is a strong favorite, but not without looking elsewhere first; after all, the defensive coordinator we ought to have hired is now head coach in Pittsburgh: Mike Tomlin. Randy Moss would have campaigned for Brian Billick, but Moss doesn’t matter anymore. Some people mention Parcells… no thanks.
For me, there’s one obvious candidate who’d have a chance to be great, and has a Super Bowl-winning resume… the obvious choice. Bill Cowher.
