Belichick to Minnesota Vikings?

**COJOMAY** · 07-05-2007, 03:30 PM

This blurb from Profootballtalk.com
The source who thinks that Belichick craves an NFC Super Bowl win thinks that Washington, Dallas, Carolina, and Tampa are the potential destinations.
We'll also throw the Vikings into the mix, since owner Zygi Wilf is a life-long Giants fan who once waited outside of a bathroom to get Lawrence Taylor's autograph.
(We hope L.T. washed his hands before he grabbed the pen.)
Wilf is wise enough to heed the quiet criticism of current coach Brad Childress, even if the rest of the front office is doing their best to prop up the field boss for fear of being run out the door if a guy like Belichick were to come to town.

That would kill TWO birds with one stone...sink the Putzies and raise up the Vikes!

But at what price???
No thanks!

Hmmm.
I vote no.
Not that I think that Belichick is a bad head coach, but because I think Coach Childress is a good one and I like the direction he is taking the Vikings.

LOL an NFC Superbowl win.
Hell, why not one in each division?

I heard Al Gore was in the running to coach the Vikings.
Not sure if it's true though.

This makes me think even more that PFT is just a gossip website.

I wonder if they would buy stuff scrounged out of Belichick's trash.

Doesn't Chilly have big man love for Belichick's coaching theory and style?

Well, the man is coaching a modern dynasty.
I think Coach Childress has respect for Belichick after he was able to expose our Achilles Heel last year.

Paul must be using some of that hemp the farmers in North Dakota are growing.
When you come back down Paul rethink your answer.
There is not
logical reason to keep Childress if Belichick wanted to come to Minnesota.
It is never going to happen, but we can all dream.

Nope, not smoking anything today.
I think Coach Childress has every possibility of being as good of a coach as Bellichick.
You don't dump a good coach just because someone who might be better comes along.

And don't take this as an opportunity to start Childress bashing. "We went from 9-7 to 6-10 - all is lost!"
The fact is that Childress is already showing signs of learning a great deal form his rookie year - May turn over play calling, learning to communicate with the players, etc.
This year will be more telling of Childress's coaching ability than last.
BTW, the Pats were 8-8 the year before Belichick took over.
He went 5-11 with them in his first year...
