Not sure how I feel about this, but I guess he's earned it.

Frazier Agrees to Contract Extension

A year ago, there were reasonable doubts about Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier’s future.

But after he piloted the Vikings to a 10-6 record and the playoffs, he earned the right to stay.

UPDATE 6:55 p.m. ET: The Associated Press report was incorrect. The Vikings merely picked up a one-year option on Frazier’s existing deal, putting him under contract through 2014.

Not exactly multi year.

I like picking up the option. I wouldn't sign him long term until the mid point of his contract season.

I'll never forget that he's a Childress hire.

Yup, and just like Childress, he's ridden Adrian Peterson to the bank. Problem is, just like Childress, he's failed to do anything to significantly improve the REST of the Offense....

Until we get a Coach that realizes that AP alone will make us appear competitive but can't win it all, we're screwed.

I like that we picked up the year. Let's see what he does.

I'm fine with the option, but I swear if the Wilfs give out another extension after ONE good year...

This was the right move, was not happy with the first report. Why would they re-right a contract that still had 2 years on it.

They did a similar thing with Childress after the 09 season. Favre led the Vikings to the NFCCG, and Wilfs extended Childress. Sure as we know, when Favre started regressing/got hurt, the Vikings sucked, and Chilly got canned.

Agreed.

Especially about redoing a contract with 2 years left on it. I think this applies to coaching staff as well as players...

The defense is awful too... aside from Chad Greenway.
