Why Mike Tice was fired

[mngolf19]

Having new ownership also played into the decision to hire a new coach.

They went from a ticket scalping idiot to a mud slinging cry baby, good for them.

Oh Blue, that's a little harsh. Childress hasn't exactly said all the right things but neither has McCarthy. Blowing up on a guy for writing the truth wasn't cool....and he made some mistakes about OTA attendence, said some things he probably shouldn't have. I think both guys are learning.
At the end of the year we should know if either of them is a moron or an arsehole.

good point Rastak, I was a little hard on the old boy.

The dude has made me cringe a few times......I must admit.

It could be worse, this just in the Minnesota Vikings have hired a new head coach, Ozzie Guillen. Guillen was quoted saying that they had to pay him a lot of money to wear a fag color like purple.

Guillen also told reporters that he would kick the ass of any fans that wore the blonde ponytail hats, they make you look like a fag, and also that horn is gay as hell. In his country a horn like that makes you a fag".

I was lucky enough to go to college at mankato state university (where the vikings hold their training camp) and i was no stranger to the bars. He wasn't the head coach then (o-line) but he was at the bars more often than any other member of the team, staff or player. And it wasn't even close. I can tell you straight up that he not a bright guy. He had no idendity as to what type of coach he was. He wanted to be a best friend type players coach sometimes and a hardass strict coach at other times. He may be good someday, but he is just not ready yet.

OK whats better, a M3 ripping some reporter for talking shit about his player, true or not (Harris hasnt held out so its not) or Childish ripping on a player who left and was well liked by his teammates? No where near the same IMO. No player is gonnalose respect for M3 for doing what he did. Can Childish say the same?

[Tony Oday]

hehe we wanted childress dodged a bullet there

[MJZiggy]

I still wonder if had TT interviewed him he'd have realized the man was just itching to say something stupid. Would he have made the same decision? Would he have thought of Childress as "the right fit?"

Comon Mad, playing a bit with the facts here aren't you? Wilde said Harris was missing from the OTA's because he was upset about his contract. McCarthy then ripped him a new one and stated Harris was missing due to personal reasons and would attend the next OTA. Bullshit on both accounts...1) Many sources now state he (Harris) is pissed 2) He didn't show up.

Childress said a couple of things that made me raise my eyebrows but don't make out like your boy is perfect. He ain't.

[the_idle_threat]

Neither is perfect, but the Pack still dodged a bullet in not hiring Childress.

[BlueBrewer]

I think what the point of Mad's argument was that Childress' comments were far more detrimental to the team and development of rapport with players than M3s

Like I said "true or not" M3 was taking defense of his player. Now that the Packers have a seperate GM and HC these kind of things dont impact a HC and a players relationship like they did with Sherm and Im sure it helped doom him (mckenzie).

Childish though ripped into culpepper who must have had still good friends in MN if he was willing to kick it on the boat with them. I recall daunte had some issues with the management but I dont recall him saying anything about new HC.
