I haven't liked or thought Fraizer was a good coach since he replaced Tomlin. And I would MUCH rather keep him as HC then Favre. It still hurts a little inside thinking he was a Vikings for 2 years.

Finding a really good HC who can put together a great staff is like finding a really good QB. Nearly impossible. I mean how many really great college QBs make it as great pro QBs. Just cause you are a good assistant or a good college coach doesn't always translate into a good HC. We'll probably screw that up too.

That's the way we should go. Pay a proven super bowl winning coach enough to get them here even if it's short term. We need a foundation, something to build off of. Whether front office or head coach. No more Rick Spielman either, guy did nothing to deserve this job and this team has gotten worse under his watch...

I wouldn't mind at all. He had good ties here.
Or at least an assistant.

I was going to say, "oh you mean Ponder manly?" but then I realized that's oxymoronic.

Parcells wouldn't coach our team unless he gets to shop for some of the groceries, and that would put Spielman out of a job. On 2nd thought, yes lets do what we can to get Parcells xD. He's only 72.

I mentioned some possibilities in another thread...

Rob Ryan
someone from the Belichick coaching tree (Dante Scarnecchia, perhaps? Nah, he'll probably retire a Patriot)
Scott Milanovich
Greg Roman
Tom Clements (hey, the Vikes seem to like hiring Packers)
