The Wilf's have hired people with out a football background to run their organization. They gambled on a stockbroker. They set up a triangle of authority. They hired a head coach that nobody else would hire! They are gamblers hoping that a nontraditional approach will pave the road to a championship. It's more than hiring a GM who can't identify talent in the draft and brings in free agents with an injury history all too often. It's an attitude that you can outsmart the established best and brightest minds in the game without hiring the best and the brightest. 
It's a physical game and even the Rams superbowl winning team, which may have appeared to outsmart its opponents, had a strong physical core to support its skill players. Vikings don't have that.
The only way I see this group becoming competitive is if JJ comes back, stays healthy, and lights it up. What are the odds of that happening?
