Randy Moss could have an effect here...

...but probably not the kind you'd think.

The drama over the Moss waiver and the rumblings that Brad Childress has lost the Vikings locker room have led to speculation that Childress might soon become unemployed.

Should that happen, guess who likely gets the "interim head coach" job?

If the Vikings decide to hand the coaching reins over to Leslie Frazier, then it's be a fairly safe bet that come next season, they'd drop that "interim" tag. That would, of course, remove him from being a candidate for any other open head coaching job, including the one in Carolina.

So if you're a fan of Leslie Frazier coaching Panthers next season, you'll probably want to pull for Brad Childress to keep his job. I'd be highly surprised to see Frazier get the interim job this year and not be made permanent next year.

Even if he's not fired mid-season, it's no stretch to think that the Vikings could fire Childress once the season is over and hand the job to Frazier.

From Frazier's perspective, you'd have to think it'd be easier. No hoops to jump through, no need to pick up and move, players already know the system, etc.

My personal opinion: I think one way or the other, Leslie Frazier is off the market.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
