Brian Murphy made an immediate impact in his 1st season as Special Teams Coordinator for the Vikings in 2009 after spending the previous 3 seasons as an assistant coach for the Vikings. The return and coverage units along with the kicking game was a key element in the Vikings NFC North title team that advanced to the NFC Championship game. The 2009 Vikings special teams units ranked #9 in the respected Dallas Morning News analysis by veteran NFL writer Rick Gosselin after finishing #25 in 2008.

Murphy oversaw a group that sent a pair of players to the Pro Bowl- coverage man Heath Farwell and return man Percy Harvin. Farwell returned from knee surgery that cost him all of the 2008 season to resume his leadership role on the special teams. Harvin burst on the scene as a rookie with a pair of kickoff return TDs, setting a Vikings record as the only player with 2 kickoff return scores in a season or a career.

      He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb.

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.
