We need a new coach NOW! Save this season!

Since we're all in agreement that Brad Childress and Darrell Bevell are not the answers, let's think about what options we have after they are fired. My opinion:
We should bring in Scott Linehan (or Brian Billick, Lane Kiffin, Marty Shottenheimer, Steve Mariucci or someone else) to call plays.
We should promote Leslie Frazier, Karl Dunbar, or Eric Bienemy to head coach in addition to their current responsibilities.
And then we should sit back and watch as the Vikings-- 1 of the most talented teams in the NFL-- make a run at an NFC North division title.
Wake up Zygi Wilf!
(Let's put the heat on Zygi, he obviously doesn't respond to losing but maybe he will respond to more direct constructive criticism:)
Go Vikes!

i don’t want linehan. other than that i agree. I can’t wait for Chili to be gone. if zygi is smart he wont wait until the end of the season because John Clayton says there may be as many as 10 coaches fired this year. If he waits to long all the good coaches will be taken

linehan??
god I hope not…
the others are all just retreads…granted, everyone of them are better than what we have now, but none are the answer….
I would fire Childress and Bevell……promote Leslie Frazier to interim HC…..offer Shottenhiemer the OC position……he’s proven that he can work with young QB’s and dynamic RB’s……promote one of the Defensive assistants to DC, with Frazier keeping a keen eye on the Defense….
one more loss, and we can concievably write off this season….on 5.2% of teams starting the season 1-4 ever make the playoffs, so it would be a long shot at best….see how the team adopts Frazier, and retool the coaching staff in the offseason….
I expect to see some wide open play calling this weekend, as I feel that Chilldress has been given the ultimatum….win or your gone…..
part of me wishes for a Vikings win, but the other part yearns for a Saints blowout….

Blowout you say...
If a Saints blowout would guarantee the firing of Childress I would welcome it. Since it probably won’t I say, “Go Vikes!”
Fire Childress!

Not Linehan!!!
I’m fine with anyone else on your list, but not Linehan. I might be willing to accept him as a quarterbacks coach, but never again as an offensive coordinator or, God forbid, head coach.
Fire Childress!

Winner
The only criteria for bringing in a new coach in the NFL is whether they are a proven winner in the NFL.
Why get anyone who is below A+????

Bilick Please!!!
I can’t sit in front of the tube anymore or at the dome and watch Chili just coach without any seemingly interest in the vikes. We need somone that can get the job done and is willing to be open with the strategies to make that happen. We need to fire him ASAP
