The Wilfs

Post by Orion »

Is there any way they can be fired or replaced.


I'm convinced we will never win a super bowl as long as they own the team.

I don't agree nor disgaree, but is there a reason why you feel so strongly about this?

Right, the owners are the problem.

Wow any idea of how to fire the OWNER :confused:

They left a huge chunk of change for the taxpayers. Maybe if they wearnt in legal problems, and paying their lawyers huge amounts of money, they could have thrown in a few hundred more million I guess. No one find it funny we had better teams with Red as the owner. Meathead got fired with a 9-7 records, right there on the field. That's got class written all over it. And look at the HC's and GM the Wilfs have gotten us. They know zero about football. And the Wilf's were going to install discipline to the team. Have Childress clean house. How has that worked for them?

I cant believe people are blaming the owners for the poor play. This board sucks after bad losses. If it weren't for them the Vikings would probably be gone by now but yeah lets blam them for the performance. Get a freaking clue people.

Like the Wilfs are the only owners capable of getting a new stadium? Maybe an owner other then Ziggy might know a thing or 2 about football, and whats needed in a gm? Chill out man.

For starters, not the Vikings.

The least you could so is answer the question. You constantly complain about the Vikings GM. Here's your chance to do more than complain. Why not point to some examples of what you think the Vikes should be looking for at that position?

Our record. Our lack of talent at certain areas that have needed upgrades for YEARS. The fact he flunked out of both the Bears and Dolphins organizations, but when it came time to cleaning house here in MN, the Wilfs gave him an upgrade, and didn't can him too. Everything wasn't Childress's and Fraizer's fault. They have to find the right players and that's on Rick. And once again, we don't. Has his contract been extended yet? Or does he have another year? I like winning records. I don't think they just fall out the sky. I don't think Rick has done a things to help us. But, lets give him a few more years to get it right. Is that enough of an example of trying to explain the complaining I do here? Or do you feel Rick deserves a raise for what hes done to the Vikings since his days with Childress?

All you did was complain more! You still didn't answer the question, which was "Which teams in your mind have a competent GM?"
