In Defense of Brad Childress-my good friend

Can any real fan ever actually bring themselves to root against their team? I say no, and further suggest that it is exceedingly bad form to do so. We can, rather, hope that everyone says “fuck chilly”, and ignores his calls… Frazier/Favre call the plays from the huddle, everyone visibly shuns chilly, and they go on to a ridiculous lopsided victory. THAT is what you do as a fan.

Part of me is worried over this sudden, drastically negative move on Childress’ part, and the lack of a response from the supposedly blindsided ownership. This glass-half-empty part of me worries that they are making things ugly on purpose to make it easier to leave town.

I know Childress likely did this because he was already angry at how the season was going. Perhaps he thinks this move could help him get the attention of the team and galvanize them in some way… But the way it was perfomed was terrible. Either delay the conference and handle your business, or give the conference, THEN tell the team and Moss. He has to know telling the team and letting it lie for a few hours will result in a media leak… Again, this whole thing is surreal and suspicous.

Yes it was sarcasm. The point is our scouting team and money people have been succeeding in spite of Childress by signing more talent each year to have Childress misuse and un-inspire them at every opportunity.

If you had clicked on my “”http://www.dailynorseman.com/2009/10/28/1105517/chilly-the-kao-and-two-minute" target="new">recent history" link above you would have seen Childress was thought rather highly of last year by the same guy from this website who’s comparing him to Mussolini this year.

He was just as much an idiot then as he is now, he just happened to be on the winning side of more games thanks to Favre taking the team away from him and people cheered when he got his contract extension.

I guess you don’t remember me. We’ve been on the same side on this issue for a long time, especially last year when it wasn’t the popular opinion to have.

That said, he is the same coach, his players just aren’t able to bail his incompetent ass out of the fire and into a contract extension like they were last year.

I linked to an article above from this website almost exactly a year ago where Ted Glover talked about how he’d warmed to Childress and the K.A.O. now that Childress had a QB that could execute his strategy. Here’s the link and part of my response to that article then:

if you’re going to rate your coaches based on the personnel they have don’t be surprised when your team’s performance falls off a cliff when you run out of cap space, or an injury derails your season.

Which would be what we’re seeing now. Childress might have a lot more football knowledge than most people, but the man is not a leader. Never has been, never will be and that was clear a long time ago. You saw it, I saw it, but the powers that be have thus far still failed to act on it.

I beg to differ he is the same lousy coach that he was last year .. The difference between this year and last is is simple .. Brett Farve and the team.. Were playing in a zone .. They were winning in spite of the silly calls and time management flaws of Brad Childress.. If you recall
the year before all the fans were up in arms and wanted him gone .. Same stupid coach .. Same stupid owners..
