I see what you did there.

According to what I read, before Wilf made his final decision, he met with several Vikings players to gauge their reactions to this situation.

Let’s face two very important things here: A.) Wilf has done nothing short to go all out for a Super Bowl run this year. B.) This is undoubtedly tied with a belief that a Super Bowl win will equal a new stadium.

With those two things in mind, I can’t believe the reason he DIDN’T fire Chilly was simply because of his contract. At this point Wilf seriously strikes me as the guy who, if keeping Moss and firing Chilly would right the ship, he would do it in a heartbeat.

Therefore- I have to believe that, in fact, the reaction that Wilf got convinced him that the team really didn’t want Moss around. Now, who these players were, how many of them he met with, etc. I haven’t heard yet. I’m going to of course naturally assume Favre was one of them. But even that, at this point, is in fact just really a guess. But again, if Wilf really did meet with some players, at least 50% of them had to support removing Moss, for whatever reasons, for Wilf to actually make this happen.

As to why that would be again we’re playing guesswork here. The whole catering incident was probably not that big of a factor. (In fact, according to the story about it, when the locker room manager apologized to the restaurant’s owner, he claimed that Randy ‘always does this whenever we bring food’… doesn’t sound like it’s a first time offense at that point.) Somehow, Moss had probably turned cancerous in the locker room- which surprises me considering the reports that he was the one to give the rallying speech in the Cowboys halftime.

Who knows? But again, Wilf HAD to have heard something from some key Vikings players to make him decide to stick with Chilly over Moss. I’m not saying I AGREE with that decision, but if players felt it was right, then it is hard to argue at this point.

The Three Amigos “braintrust” structure leaves too much of an authority gap, at least above the coach.

From what I can tell Speilman and Studwell do good jobs, but Chilly would probably have not had the authority to spout off about waiving Moss if there was a GM above him.

Ziggy Wilf .. Is a joke .. He has no clue how to run a football team .. He has no clue how to cut his lossses and move on .. This crap Childress is pulling in Minnesota would not happen on any other team in the NFL .. (Except maybe Dallas Ha ha ) Wilf act like Childress is a superbowl winning coach .. This dude has won nothing.. Wilf is weak when it comes to firing weak coaches look how long it took him to fire Tice.. Who in my opinion was at least a players coach.. Come on little cartoon character grow some balls and pull the trigger and get rid of this bum … Don’t wait until he get rid of Harvin and we read the press clippings oh i delayed the cut of Harvin thinking about firing Childress ..
The team and the fans are done with this bum .. What does it take to see that ..

Yes 30 min after the season he fired Tice .. He should have fired Tice 30 mins after he got caught scalping superbowl tickets … It’s no excuse for Childress still being the head coach of this team .. period… Moss told him the truth .. This guy is your head coach .. lol .. Now Harvin knows the truth .. What team will he be playing on next week …
