what's up with Chilly?
didn't he take job with the Bears last offseason just to quit a coupler months later? Now he's quitting this gig.

Re: what's up with Chilly?
I hated Chilly’s personality more than any coach I’ve seen.
But he did get the team from 8-8 to 10-6 to 12-4 in consecutive seasons.
That probably was more to do with Speilman building up the roster, and obviously the Favre year, but up until 12 men in a huddle, Chilly had built a good thing here personnel wise. He was just not the right person to guide them.
I wonder if he might be useful in some front office capacity.

It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

Re: what's up with Chilly?
I thought Chilly was a good head coach. The issue was he was smarter than most reporters who covered him so they didn't get his dry sense of humor and found him hard to digest.
He did a good job in 2009 bringing in their best player and getting them on the playoff run.
Looks at where most of our "star" players went after they left us.
Sidney Rice, Ray Edwards, Visanthe Shiancoe, Maddiu Williams.
These are players that weren't really that great and never performed anywhere else.
Chilly got the most out of them, and he appreciated a strong offensive line.
O-Line has been in decline ever since he left.

Re: what's up with Chilly?
This is so true. There was steady growth of this team under Chilly. And he wasn't the stuffy codger the local media made him out to be, he was kind of funny if you could catch it with that dry humor you mentioned. But after that 12 man in the huddle and the 2010 debacle dragging Favre back and how he handled Moss things went downhill for him fast.Face The Facts wrote: ↑Sun Jan 13, 2019 7:44 am I thought Chilly was a good head coach.

Yep, spot on - after he took a 9 win team coached by a meathead and turned it into a 6 win team, and after they added all pro talent like Jared Allen, AP, Hutch and several other pro bowlers they had "steady growth". Hell, 3 years later they even won more games than they lost, you know, like the team he inherited did the year before he took over.
I swear to God I don't know where some of you morons come up with this shit.

I agree Chilly would of done better with this group. He was a "Go getter"
He has almost the same exact stats in his first 5 year's that Zimmer has.

Re: what's up with Chilly?
Childress was a terrible head coach that not many players respected. He was stubborn and didn't relate well to guys. He was lucky Farve fell into his lap because he was the real offensive mind that season.
His offense was conservative and even though many of his teams were loaded with talent, he was still average at best on gameday. The Tarvaris Jackson experiment was awful and that was squarely on him. He was going to "mold and shape" him and that never happened. He wasn't a bad evaluator of talent (outside of QB), he just didn't get his guys to play for him. Dude was underwhelming and couldn't get out of his own way.

The Moss release was an big internal battle between Chilly and Spielman / ownership.
Chilly used his ability to cut him and it didn't go over well.

Re: what's up with Chilly?
Yeah Childress never wanted him that was pretty much all the Wilfs doing. Sure Moss acted like an ass when he got here but most of the players had said that Childress was looking for any reason to get rid of him and the blow up with the caters was his chance.Face The Facts wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 11:10 am The Moss release was an big internal battle between Chilly and Spielman / ownership.

He once punted with less than 2 mins left, with no timeouts and down 2 scores. "I thought we could get the ball back" (in spite of, you know, it was mathematically impossible).

It's unfathomable the moronic in game strategists/clock management morons we have endured here. Another classic is Tice - with his team down 21 - scores a TD and he actually called a timeout to discuss whether or not to go for 2. Classic.
Nothing will ever top Denny Green 97 playoffs start Giants. If you have time, find the you tube of that and watch the last 8 mins of that game. Joe Theismann and Dan Patrick we're openly mocking Green. If you didnt know the score you would have actually believed the Vikings were the ones up 9 trying to run out the clock. It was fucking hysterical.

Re: what's up with Chilly?
The 1997 Giants playoff game was odd because it worked.
Or... the Gods felt bad for Green and decided to help him.
It was bad, but Denny really defended it after the fact which led to the additional doubt about how stable Denny was.
Still Denny got us in the playoffs almost every year. Far more frequent than we've had since.
Vikings got the ball with 6:53, down by 9.
Ran plays at:
6:53
6:18
5:44 (fumbled snap_
5:14
4:35
and
3:57 - Punt.
So burned almost 3 minutes with a 6 play drive, when down by 9 in the 4th quarter.

The Vikings were in the playoffs almost every single year under Denny. Made two championship games. Put together one of the leagues greatest offenses. Won division titles.
Zimmer has yet to even get this team to the playoffs in back to back years.
I like Zimmer. He's probably the third best coach here. Bud and Denny are in a different stratosphere though.

Re: what's up with Chilly?
Denny was a far better acting GM than Spielman as well.
Denny missed three years of first, second, and some third round picks due to Herschel Walker trade made before him.
Even with that, he was able to keep the team in the playoffs.
It's really remarkable how hard of a road he had and how much he did with the team.
