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.

    • I think we have some revisionist around it here because of all the drama around Tepper's involvement. If you pull up any scouting report from the time you'll see the same take. WalterFootball's report sums up the media's thoughts on him well: "Young has everything the NFL is looking for in a quarterback except in terms of weight and height." He was the consensus top QB of his draft and the only real question mark they had about him was whether his body could hold up in the NFL. The infamous Steph Curry comparison the Panthers latched onto came from Albert Breer. The excuses I've heard for him are more anecdotal. Bryce Young's development is the only bullet point most NFL fans have on the Panthers right now. That and the coaching turnover. If you're not actually watching our games it's easy to believe this is just a dysfunctional organization that doesn't know how to unleash this talented Heisman winner.  I've seen media and fans alike run with that narrative way more than criticizing Young outright. Whenever we win there's flocks who use it as proof that the Panthers just need to be patient.  
    • So maybe 1-3 vs playoff teams, going by standings as of today. I guess that is an improvement.  We are just about improved enough to be in purgatory draft wise. It really isn’t so bad in the 1st unless you really want that top QB or maybe edge guy because there are usually plenty of good players at the top but it hurts you some as get deeper in the draft.
