Punch and Judy Garland Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-v...ov=ap&type=lgns They've wanted him gone and this might become an excuse to do so. THe problem is compounded by an ownership change scheduled to take place (peter king says it will be nixed). I think with Moss gone and the ownership in flux-the Vikes need a fresh start at the HC position. It's hard to do that without a real owner though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 There's always turmoil for the Vikings. I just wish they'd accept losing and get on with life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 For me, Tice has been an asshole since, as the Vikings O-line coach, he told Korey Stringer to suck it up and that drinking water was for babies. :fyou Tice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 you make it sound like he tried to kill him on purpose :banghead but still me personally, i dont think he is much of a head coach especially with letting Randy Moss walk all over him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish they'd accept losing and get on with life. ??? With a halfway decent draft(MWill at 7, Pool at 18, and maybe Nugent with their 2nd round pick assuming he is still there, which he probably should be, along with others), and a halfway decent coach(be it Tice or someone else), they are a 10 win team next year. They have put themselves in a very good position to win next year. The defense needs some help...but signing Smoot will help that a little bit...and Pat Williams is pretty solid too.

SoxFan1 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I never liked Mike Tice....why scalp tickets? You make millions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 In his defense, he is the lowest paid coach in the league. I think they said it is something common for assistants (who make a decent but modest living) to do. I guess he just never figured to stop.

Look at the way Cubs handle handled the Sosa - Baylor situation a few years ago. Baylor's credibility was zero before he ever managed his first regular season game for the Cubs.

DBAHO Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 The thing is, who's going to replace Tice if he gets canned? Scott Linehan would have been perfect, too bad he went to Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
