Bieniemy turns down USC, gets promotion

Post was mostly sarcasm, but I do want to know, what value does Bevell bring to the team? Until Favre showed up, the offense has been weak. Its Childress' scheme, I want to know if maybe having a real OC would really change anything.

Sarcasim or not, it is a interesting discussion point my friend.

Again, I'm not a huge Bevs fan, but, his name came up a couple of times last year as a up and comer for a HC position.

As I said, mix in the whole discussion about how a RB's coach has alot of insight into the total effort of the offense Kirwan and Ryan had the other day and I see Theenimies promotion as a step to keep him on the staff incase Bevs does leave next year.

Obviously there is something going on that us fans don't see or understand.

Actually, I think you are trying to overcomplicate things.

Step 1: Bieniemy gets offer from USC.
Step 2: Vikings give him raise to keep him.
Step 3: Vikings give him new title to justify raise.

Outside of that, nothing has changed. Stuff like this happens all the time in normal workplaces. For those that think differently, I have a couple of questions:

Are the Vikings going to hire a new coach to fill the "Vacancy" at RB coach?
If Childress is unable to coach at game, who is going to call the plays?
