House cleaning commences.......

Has he been given the job for good or just this year?

I believe he's interim at this point.

Yes, he is interim at this point in time.

Thanks Z.
I thought I read something that said they were hammering out a long term contract.

Regardless, if he is only interim, I wonder how much affect he will really have (long term) on the makeup/attitude of this team.

I think it would go a long ways towards him making a difference if they did give him a contract.
It will make what ever decision he makes on the sideline more relevant if the players know he has a contract that matches theirs in time.
Otherwise the lazy players might be hoping he is gone and less willing to conform to winning attitudes.

Back to Shaun Hill, doesn't it seem weird seeing Viking QBs around the league.
It always seems like there are a lot of them.

Bowman
Thigpen
Hill
Johnson
Culpepper? Lions?

I think you are spot on with all of those points.

Additionally, it won't give other teams a realistic look at how well he would really do under those circumstances.

Regardless, still a huge fan, especially of him as a player.

Ole Pigpen is the only one I think has any future.
