Childress is the Vikings new coach.

Welcome to the Vikings Brad Childress. Well it only took a week to can Mike Tice and hire Eagles Offensive Coordinator Brad Childress. I am listening to the press conference right now and the guy likes his players and all reports is that his past players loved him. I personal like the hire Mike Tice was a nice guy who was hard to get rid of, because people liked him.

So Ted Contrell and Steve Loney will probably won't be back as coordinators and I say the coordinators have under performed. I think when you have top talent and not making the players it is the coaches that need to be changed. We lost many away games and this is coaches problems making bad decisions getting players prepared. I like the hire he comes from two organiziations the Philadephia Eagles and Wisconsin Badgers where he comes from winning teams.

The time table looks like a couple weeks to pick new coordinators. So be prepared to know new coaches and players. Remember with Brad Childress this is the guy who made Donovan McNabb good and had to deal with a player like Terrell Owens so he is prepared to put down his foot.

Other Sports Notes:

The Minnesota Timberwolves play the defeding champions Spurs tonight and look are very hard road trip with the Spurs tonight and the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. Look for the Timberwolves to win one of two here, but don't get your hopes up because they are probably going to loose both games.

The Wild lost last night to Colorado the team got behind fast and could not keep up. They play the Mighty Ducks on Saturday and look for the Wild to rebound and keep playing well at home on one of the longest home stints of the season.
