Its Finally over, the End of the Angry Bald Man

It took only twenty hours to hear the good news. Brad Childress was relieved from his duties as head coach of the Minnesota Vikings. I feel relieved that this team has been put into the hands of a respected coach on the team, but I do have a small part of me that feels bad for the man. In the game against the Packers, the Vikings fell apart. Now it wasn't Childress' fault for all of it, but it was a reflection of how much power he has lost within this team. The coach is the back bone of the team. He sails the ship when waters are rough, he directs the soldiers in battle. He is the leader of the team. But in Minnesota, Childress was the co-captain. He allowed things to happen that should have never happened. Favre made his mind when "HE" was ready to play. Rice was allowed to get hip surgery a week before opening day, Randy Moss was cut because he couldn't keep his mouth shut. These are the things that made this team fall apart. Things that don't necessarily reflect on the coach, but do because he is the one in charge. So we must move forward. Lesly Frasier is our new head coach, and there is a level of respect for him, one that was not there for Childress. If this is going to work, the players must realize that they are the ones who can change this for the better. The coach is there to lead, and they must allow Frasier to do this. There may be some reluctant people within the locker room, but the only way this team can rally back from a disappointing 3-7 start is to give everything they have to Frasier.
