Re: Brad Childress to be Chiefs new OC
I remember being close to the field at the Metrodome a fan yelled out to him, "
Hey Childress lets pick it up a little, huh" Childress flashed a look of terrible
rage and then smiled!"I remember thinking dam!!!that guy has trouble dealing with
others..."

Re: Brad Childress to be Chiefs new OC
I looked it up to get a better understanding. To give any idea of exactly how much control Childress had over that 2009 offense ...Just Me wrote: I'm remembering it the same way.

Childress tried to bench Favre and he just told him noBy the third quarter of Minnesota's Sunday night loss to the Carolina Panthers, head coach Brad Childress had reportedly had his fill. Several reporters, including Sean Jensen of the Pioneer Press and Judd Zulgad of the Minnesota Star-Tribune indicate that Childress tried to bench Favre in the third quarter, when the Vikings were up, 7-6. Zulgad said this on his Twitter page:
Favre sat (in) conversation on sideline looked heated in third (quarter) because Childress wanted to take Favre out. The QB declined to come out.
"Yeah, there was a heated discussion, I guess you would call it," Favre said after the game. "We were up 7-6 at the time. No secret, I was getting hit a little bit. I felt the pressure on a lot of plays. We had seven points. So I think everyone in the building was like, ‘They're not moving the ball, they're not getting points.' Brad wanted to go in a different direction and I wanted to stay in the game.
"We were up 7-6. Yeah, it's not 70-6, but we're up 7-6. So I said, ‘I'm staying in the game, I'm playing.' I don't know if it was exactly to protect me, or we had seven points, I'm not sure. That's his call. But we talked it out. We didn't have time, I didn't have time to sit there and say why or what. My response was, we've got to win this ballgame and I want to stay in and do whatever I can. Now, unfortunately, I didn't do that, but that was my intention."
I get the feeling that Favre didn't have any problem ignoring his play calls.

Werder, who cites multiple team sources in support of his report, claims that the talk regarding the possible removal of Favre from multiple games arises not from a desire to protect Favre, but from Favre’s tendency to change the plays that have been called.
(Given the subtle pro-Favre tone of the report and Werder’s history of interviewing Favre and lack of history specifically covering the Vikings, it’s not a stretch to conclude that Favre is one of Werder’s sources.)
Werder also reports that Favre resents that Childress “seldom” discusses the game plan with Favre, and that Childress rarely asks for Favre’s input. And when Favre changes the play, Childress “bristles,” even when the audible works.

Lucky for them there's no way that incompetent will ever actually be calling plays.Laserman wrote:don't we still refer to it as " Chilli Ball"? Good luck Chiefs

Favre was a bit more then competant in 2009.slapnut19 wrote: his offense with a competent qb(2009) looked pretty good. just like frazier he hitched his wagon to the wrong qb.

Re: Brad Childress to be Chiefs new OC
