Realisticly, Coaching candidates

**skum** · 11-11-2007, 05:15 PM

There are many many Vikings fans who have jumped the fire Childress bandwagon right now and i just wanted to here what kind of other coaches you had in mind, who could coach the Vikes.

Everyone talks about Marty Schottenheimer and Bill Cowher, but realisticly i dont think that the Vikings is a team that many guys would want to coach given the mess that we are in right now.

Dont get me wrong, i would love for one of those to come in and coach the Vikings but i am just going to bring up some names that might be totally ridiculous and people are going to think that i am a stupid, but take it for what you want.

No given order, so #1 is not my #1 at all, these are just guys that we realisticly could end up with if we fire Brad Childress.

Many of the guys in here want a coach who have already coached in the NFL.

Steve Mariucci
Career regular season record: 72 - 67 - 0 (0.518)
Career postseason record: 3 - 4

Formerly with the Lions of the NFC North and the 49ers.

Mike Mularkey
Career regular season record: 14 - 18 - 0 (0.438)
Career postseason record: 0 - 0

Former Buffalo Bills headcoach, now an assistant for the Miami Dolphins.

Jim Fassel
Career regular season record: 58 - 53 - 1 (0.522)
Career postseason record: 2 - 3

Former Giants HC.

Dennis Green
Career regular season record: 113 - 94 - 0 (0.546)
Career postseason record: 4 - 8

Former Vikings and Cardinals HC

Scott Linehan(given that he is fired from the Rams)
Career regular season record: 8 - 16 - 0 (0.333)
Career postseason record: 0 - 0

Former Vikings OC and current Rams HC(add they won today)

What guys did you have in mind outside of Cowher and/or Marty.

Alot of people here in Cincinnati are calling for lewis' head.
Thought I'd throw that out there.

I really want a HC who will come in and change the Defensive Scheme.
We are too talented to play this soft zone bullshit.

Linehan I would not mind to see back here as a OC but not as the HC.

I've never been a fan of talking to people about jobs when other people are still in them but in this case I would make an exception. Wilf should sound out Marty and Cowher to see if they would take the job, either say yes and it's bye bye Brad time.

Sorry....I can't do Marty.....

I have had enough of getting to the playoffs only to fail once we get there.

At this point, I'd kill for a playoff team. At least it makes the season fun to watch. I just want Chilly [size=12pt]GONE[/size].

I've always liked him, San Diego were mighty impressive last year in the regular season and I don't think losing to the Pats is a disgrace by any means. OK his play-off record apart from that is bad but I'd still take him.
