By Sean Jensen The third quarterback is Sage Rosenfels. In regards to Tahi, I can only wonder if Vikings coach Brad Childress is punishing him for publicly speaking about Percy Harvin. Childress makes it clear to players not to talk about their own injuries, let alone those of others.

By Sean Jensen Childress is actually behind four coaches who have .500 records or worse, including Detroit's Jim Schwartz (1-5). John Harbaugh, the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens, is one spot ahead of Childress. Ken Whisenhunt of the Arizona Cardinals got the fewest votes, with 443.

By Gonzo 6) Brad Childress has been somewhat maligned by Viking fans for the past couple of seasons, largely because many people feel that his offense is dull and predictable, despite the presence of Adrian Peterson.  What is your impression of Coach Childress and what he's done over the last thre...

By Gonzo The Minnesota Vikings are still, with or without Brett Favre, the best and most talented team in the NFC North. Oh, and Pro Football Talk is reporting that the Vikings have officially closed the door on Favre.  Thank you, Brad Childress.

By danzinski Brett Favre has told the Vikings he will let them know by July 30th, the first day of training camp, whether he wants to play for them in 2009, and Brad Childress is apparently okay with this timetable. “It doesn’t have to be a minute before training camp, but I think if he is going to do that, he w...

By danzinski Zygi Wilf and Brad Childress both offered their reaction to Brett Favre’s comments on Joe Buck Live (neither had anything to say about Artie Lange turning Buck’s show into an episode of Howard Stern).  First Wilf: We will do the most we can to get the players we need to be a better team. If that...

By danzinski Brad Childress was interviewed this morning on the unlistenable Power Trip Morning Show starring Mike Morris.  Naturally, the Vikings coach was asked about the Brett Favre situation.  Somewhat interestingly, Chilly completely refuted the recent ESPN story that had him and the Vikes t...

By danzinski The Minnesota Vikings have at least temporarily suspended their pursuit of Brett Favre after the retired quarterback failed to report to organized team activities that began Tuesday as head coach Brad Childress had mandated, according to team and league sources.

By danzinski I would hope that, unlike many Viking fans, Brad Childress, Rick Spielman and the brain-trust are not so consumed with their daydreams of Favre-fueled glory that they would allow themselves to be blinded to the possibly unpleasant realities of the situation.  But, I’m sure that if Favre...

By danzinski I get the strong sense that if the Vikings are going to do any deal with Favre that coach Brad Childress wants to be assured that Favre will report to training camp in game shape, with no restrictions on throwing or his condition. They’d also like Favre to be involved in the mental part of team a...

1. Save Brad Childress' job. Former Baltimore Ravens coach, and former Vikings assistant, Brian Billick lost his job by over-committing to QB Kyle Boller. Brad Childress faces the same risk by backing QB Tarvaris Jackson. Heck, Childress may be dead meat already. Childress can save his job b...

By danzinski Brad Childress appears satisfied to arrive in Mankato with Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson competing to start at quarterback. He probably figures bringing in Percy Harvin, by acclamation the No. 1 pain in the posterior in last weekend’s draft, will provide enough tension for a head c...

By Adam Warwas Jamarca Sanford was the Vikings last pick of this weekend’s draft, and he also comes with an arrest record which includes stealing a car stereo, disorderly conduct, and failure to comply.

By danzinski Translation:  Randy Moss was a top 10 talent too, and he fell to the Vikings because of character issues, and look how that turned out.  Yes, I think Childress and Spielman believe Harvin is their Randy Moss, a game-changing talent.  I don’t know if I agree with that assessment, but we’ll see.

By danzinski The 2006 NFL draft marked the debut of Brad Childress and his new regime, who inherited from ousted coach Mike Tice a 9-7 squad that had huge question marks all over the defense and offensive line, and was still reeling from the departures of superstars Randy Moss and Daunte Culpepper (the...

By danzinski Vikings coach Brad Childress and his Gophers counterpart, Tim Brewster, are without a doubt closer personal friends than any past local NFL and Big Ten coach.

By danzinski It’s obvious what this all boils down to:  The Vikings’ best move is to re-sign Birk.  Thankfully, he seems open to re-upping, in spite of the alleged “philosophical differences” he had with Brad Childress during the season.  Considering how feeble the Vikings’ efforts have been in free a...

By noreply@blogger.com (vikes geek) While the announcement of Rosenfels' trade to Minnesota came as a surprise to some Vikings' writers, coming so quickly on the heels of head coach Brad Childress' statement last Friday that he wished to open the 2009 season with Gus Frerotte and Tarvaris Jackson competing for the startin...

By noreply@blogger.com (vikes geek) In Minnesota, the Vikings routinely trot out the best running back duo in the NFL, along with a top five defense. That, Vikings' head coach Brad Childress is wont to say, is the recipe for success in the NFL. Unfortunately, it was not the recipe for success in Minnesota.

By danzinski I suppose it was inevitable that the media would start cranking up the speculation about Brett Favre wanting to leave the Jets and join his buddies Brad Childress and Darrell Bevell on the Vikings, but I was hoping it would at least take until April or May, mid-March at the earliest.  Unfort...

By noreply@blogger.com (vikes geek) Regarding the play of current starting quarterback Tarvaris Jackson and his poor performance in the clutch during the Vikings' playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Childress provided the following observations for our local scribe:

By noreply@blogger.com (vikes geek) While other teams prosper with first-year quarterbacks and rookie head coaches, Minnesota continues to use quarterback Tarvaris Jacksons' youth and head coach Brad Childress' limited (three years) on the job as a crutch for underachieving.

By vikes geek(noreply@blogger.com) One would think that the Minnesota Vikings had narrowly lost their fifth Super Bowl--their first since 1977--the way the Vikings' owners and some members of the local media are congratulating Vikings' head coach Brad Childress on the "progress" that the team made this year.

By vikes geek(noreply@blogger.com) For the season, counting yesterday's home playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Vikings had 20 explosive scoring plays. Of the 20, six were running plays, five were off of dump passes of five yards or less, and nine were on deep passes.

By JasonB Brad Childress' son works for the Eagles as a video assistant? Childress spent 4 seasons as the Eagles offensive coordinator before getting the Vikings head job.

By TheBigLead D) Brad Childress. Worst coach in the playoffs? There is no debate about this, even though there are three rookie coaches in the postseason. Worst coach on a team with a winning record? Probably. Nevertheless, we’re taking the Vikings. If Minnesota can somehow pull this off and help us go 4-0 t...

By Brian McIntyre(noreply@blogger.com) Philadelphia Eagles at Minnesota Vikings Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress used to coach under Andy Reid, but the two couldn't be more different in their offensive style. Childress stresses the run, while Reid seemingly needs to be held at gunpoint to run the football.

By Brian McIntyre(noreply@blogger.com) Minnesota Vikings quarterback Tarvaris Jackson will be tested by Philadelphia's blitz schemes. 20,000 tickets remain for Sunday's Vikings-Eagles game. Vikings head coach Brad Childress is hopeful that Pat Williams will play on Sunday.

By danzinski There was a time this season when it looked like Brad Childress might not last to the end of the year.  The Vikings, picked by some to contend for the Super Bowl before the season, were 1-3 after a Week 4 loss to Tennessee and had a tough road game coming up in New Orleans.  The blame for the bad star...

By JasonB Not much time to celebrate this great win. The business of the regular season is over and the business of the playoffs begin. We don't know exactly what day it will happen, but we do know who and where. The Eagles will travel up to Minnesota to face Brad Childress and the NFC North Champion Minnes...

By noreply@blogger.com (vikes geek) Following Minnesota's victory on Sunday over the Arizona Cardinals, our resident West-side scribe contended that Minnesota Vikings' head coach Brad Childress was due some apologies for his wisdom in drafting Tarvaris Jackson and for his coaching ability. Neither contention could b...

By noreply@blogger.com (vikes geek) It was good strategy for the Vikings, the kind that this team has lacked in all but the most precious of moments during head coach Brad Childress' tenure with the Vikings. Rather than rely exclusively on the run with Jackson in the game for an injured Gus Frerotte, the Vikings immediately we...

By noreply@blogger.com (vikes geek) For the eternal optimists among the Vikings' faithful, there are several promising signs. At 8-5, the Vikings are in prime position to make the playoffs for the first time in the Childress era. Two more wins or one more win combined with a Chicago loss and the Vikings win the NFC North.

By noreply@blogger.com (vikes geek) The Minnesota Vikings travel to Ford Field today to take on the winless Detroit Lions. And, despite what Vikings' head coach Brad Childress would lead any who listen to believe, the Vikings ought to blow the Lions off the field.

By vikes geek(noreply@blogger.com) In short, Vikings' fans probably ought to warm to the prospect of trying to make the playoffs without the services of either Pat or Kevin Williams.

By noreply@blogger.com (vikes geek) Popular belief has it that Adrian Peterson is the best running back in the NFL and ought to be given every opportunity to show it.

By noreply@blogger.com (vikes geek) When Minnesota Vikings' head coach Brad Childress arrived in Minnesota, he did so fortified with the strong belief that he brought with him an unbeatable brand of the West Coast offense. That brand, Childress noted at the time, was the very brand that had propelled the Philadelphia Eagle...

By noreply@blogger.com (vikes geek) In the aftermath of yet another Vikings' loss in Tampa Bay, Minnesota Vikings' head coach Brad Childress was asked why it was that, on critical drives in the fourth quarter, the Vikings' most valuable offensive weapon, Adrian Peterson, was on the sidelines rather than in the game.

The Vikings were running at will and near a score, but Brad Childress elected to pass twice in a row to kill his drive. The fourth down play came after a timeout, allowing the Packers defense to catch its breath, and was on the Vikings side of the field, making for an easy scoring drive for the Pa...

By noreply@blogger.com (vikes geek) After a 1-3 start to the 2008 NFL season, the Minnesota Vikings looked rudderless, armed with only two constants, a strong defense and an impotent offense. Worse yet, the team seemed to be mirroring, in play and in results, the performance of previous Brad Childress-coached Vikings' tea...

By Gonzo Yes. . .if this team fails to make the playoffs, and particularly if this season turns into the kind of disaster it's shaping up to be, I honestly feel that Brad Childress will be packing up his kick-ass offense and looking for a new job.  Since he seems to love the University of Wisconsin so much,...

By noreply@blogger.com (vikes geek) Following a tight victory over the New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings' head coach Brad Childress vented early and often over punter Chris Kluwe's failure to punt the ball out of bounds, thereby giving Saints' return man Reggie Bush numerous opportunities to scorch an already tenuo...

By noreply@blogger.com (vikes geek) With a 3-4 record heading into the bye week, the Minnesota Vikings are about where they have been every season under head coach Brad Childress. They are not great. They are not awful. In other words, they are right about where about seventy percent of NFL teams currently are.

By noreply@blogger.com (vikes geek) Of all the players in the NFL with which Minnesota Vikings' head coach Brad Childress is smitten, none has more garnered his favor than Philadelphia Eagles' running back Brian Westbrook. Nary a press conference or interview passes without Childress gushing about Westbrook's flexibil...

By TheBigLead Childress is a nincompoop. No way around it. Far too much Frerotte (19-for-36). The Saints are expecting a hefty does of Adrian Peterson? Well you’ve got the better offensive line, and the Saints have a poor defense (27th in the league coming in), so you go with your strength. The passing, unti...

By noreply@blogger.com (vikes geek) In addition to earning an apparent reprieve from what could have been an early season dismissal, Vikings' head coach Brad Childress was the beneficiary of some other good fortune on Monday night. The question now is whether he will make use of the revelations to which he bore witness.

By Anthony Hall Penalties? Check. Turnovers? Check. Sluggishness on both sides of the ball? Check. This was the classic Minnesota Vikings loss, the classic underachieving performance under Brad Childress. And really, when you think about it, “underachieving” is the apt word to describe the first four g...

By Anthony Hall If you tend to believe the rumblings reported by Pro Football Weekly — and I do — then it’s worth noting that they think Brad Childress has not yet lost the Vikings locker room: We hear that despite a 1-3 start that has included a major QB change, the players remain on point with what head [...]

By Drew Magary Now, the odds of Favre becoming a Viking or a Bear are slim to none. Ted Thompson and the Packer front office would rather eat shit and die than trade Favre to a division rival. In the case of the Vikings, many people who don’t follow the team don’t know that Brad Childress is the most stubborn, pi...

By Gonzo Reason the third. . .if "that guy" were to end up in Minnesota somehow and this team DID win the Super Bowl under his guidance. . .who, exactly, do you think would get all the credit? Adrian Peterson?  I doubt it. Brad Childress?  Hardly. Jared Allen?  Ummmmm, no.

By Kevin Seifert For what it’s worth, this week the Vikings were as loose as we’ve seen them at any point during coach Brad Childress’ tenure.

By Gonzo I know that Childress wants to develop Tarvaris Jackson into a great quarterback at the NFL level.  But he has to balance this out with his potential job security.  Zygi Wilf wants to field a winner.  Zygi Wilf also has stadium funding he wants to get approved for the Vikings.  Another 6-10 seas...

By Gonzo 2)  We know that the 2006 Vikings' offense was one of the absolute worst in team history.  How much of that do you feel falls on the shoulders of Brad Johnson, and how much of that falls on the shoulders of head coach Brad Childress? 4)  How much of an impact do you think Adrian Peterson will have...
