Thread: PLAYERS HAVE LOST RESPECT FOR TICE *TWIN CITIES COM*

Some players praised Tice, with one veteran calling the meeting very "useful," and one starter noting that if the Vikings are going to turn around this season, Tice is "going to have to lead us."

But three players said Tice told them he contemplated resigning hours after the Vikings' blowout loss to the Falcons, a point two players considered deplorable.

One starter said Tice delivered a "rambling resignation speech."

"He quit on us," the starter said. "I lost all respect for him."

"You could tell he gave up on us," another player said.

According to that player, Tice also said he would not be surprised if Vikings owner Zygi Wilf made a coaching change.
