Why Mike Tice was fired

[The Leaper]

That is a hell of a reason. With this kind of insight available, inquiring minds want to know the real reason the personnel guy got fired.

[PackerPro42]

I think he got fired mainly because of the direction the team was going after the Love Boat affair.

[MadtownPacker]

I think fans where sick of that stupid pencil in his ear.

At first I was sad to see him go but after hearing BRad Childish comments I think we have even better meathead.

[Harlan Huckleby]

where's he at now?

I won't be surprised if he gets another head coaching gig someday.

Rumor has it he has been seen walking though the wooded Cascade Mountains of Oregon masquerading as Bigfoot.

[Harlan Huckleby]

well, he wouldn't need a lot of make-up

[Deputy Nutz]

I am still kinda pissed the Packers didn't bring him in for a look

Isn't he co-head coaching for the Jag's?

The reason, I believe, Mike Tice was fired was that his team on paper were monsters, but played like little girls. For all that size and angry eyebrows he doesn't seem to be the type of guy who can motivate anyone. I'm not really glad to see him go, but I guess i'm not to afraid, Minnesota has a history of choking, and it appears they've got themselves another artist to paint failure.

I think he was a good motivator, he ran tough practices (I believe they hit a lot more in practice), and his players loved him. However, he wasn't very good with Xs and Os, and he made some poor in-game decisions. They Vikings have been a physically tougher team than the Packers for the last few years. Mentally, they've been midgets. When things go bad, they go really bad. I think Tice was a decent coach. Not great, but not horrible either. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a head coach again either. He'll need good coordinators to succeed though.

He's the OLine coach of the Jags. He's already had Del Rio singing his praises as being such a slick line coach and helping the running game. The O coordinator is now looking over his shoulder.

I was always on the fence on Tice. He acted like a hard ass, but the Queens were always such a loose group.

Whoops, hope I didn't wake up the trolls.

YAWN......did you say something...HEY.....(just kidding)

Actually Harvey has it pretty much right. In addition to that, Red McCombs kept the team grossly understaffed. The OC was unqualified last year and the team had NO OL coach! Ouch. Maybe they went too far in other direction this year, I don't know. They have the largest coaching staff in the NFL ( I read that somewhere) and they now have two OL coaches.


On a side note, what the heck motivated a poster to start a thread on an ex Viking coach in a Packer forum?

Slow news day. Maybe I'll start a "Why Forrest Gregg was fired thread".

[havanother]

Sorry the Pack didn't look at him??? What! Tice is not head coach material. He got the interim job when Green left and that team was never the same. They played dead with Tice at the helm. To be honest I'm more worried about the talent on that team now that Childress is there. The guys on the roster will be out to prove themselves to a new coach and he seems to be the type of guy who really is a hard ass ---- the T. O. situation. The entire coaching staff was in agreement when they benched him. Tice is right back where he belongs. With the other meatheads that can understand his meathead talk.

[PackerPro42]

I know I was hoping that they would have looked at him too. Just because the Viqueens always seem to bring in a Bagder or a Packer.

[PackerPro42]

Mike Tice was fired because he couldn't hold the team together emotionally. I remember one game I was watching they were in the game and they ran a fake punt in the fourth and didn't convert. That's just stupid coaching.
