"Fortunately for the Minnesota Vikings, their new coach is probably the most serene leader in the NFL. Leslie Frazier makes Tony Dungy look like a spaz."

From ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert in his Camp Confidential on the Minnesota Vikings.

Nine thousand people show up just to see this team practice on a date night...

Still think you’ll survive in office unscathed if this team has to leave town?

Wow, didn't know

ESPN had so many trolls after reading the comments under that article. There were more rivial fans commenting on the Viking article, than Viking fans.

That's because Minnesotans ignore ESPN.

Especially comment sections. ;-P
ESPN has been off many people’s internet radar for awhile now. Or maybe it’s just me.

Yeah, Seifert's a quality writer

He was a good beat guy when he was covering the Vikes.

I also read the Big 10 blog at ESPN, but unless they are broadcasting a game of a team I want to watch, I avoid ESPN at all cost.

I don't think you need to be more calm than Tony Dungy

If you’re any more laid back you’d be dozing. I hope this man is the next rock star coach that has been talked about the last year or so. They need it. A guy you’ll run through walls for with great coordinators. I loved Fred Pugac’s aggressive style when he was D coordinator at Ohio State some years ago. Don’t know much about O coordinator, but he certainly hasn’t had much time to get aquainted with new players. They have to of upgraded from Childress (who the players seemed to hate and disrespect) and Bevell.

I like how we've got all this setup

Having good coordinators is so underrated. From everything I’ve heard, Frasier is an excellent communicator and as long as he stays effective at passing along the message to the players through the coordinators and directly to the players when necessary, we’ll be just fine. We won’t know much about his schemes until we get into the season. Maybe he’s got it, maybe not, but as far as i’m concerned right now, he’s running a good program and we should all be proud. I think he’s got ALL out respect and hopefully he can win ballgames. Ultimately, that’s what it’ll come down to.
