Sparano's absence looms large. I think he had Zimmer's ear and was a confidant to Flip.

I don't see the Sparano large looming thingee. Not tyring to be a D**k but I have been holding back because it's not politically correct to talk bad about a guy who has passed. But Sparano was part of the worst OL's in the NFL. He was a big proponent/voice of drafting Willie Beavers who was one of the worst OL that I had seen. I'm sure it was emotional for the team (like Griffen incident) but I really don't see the Sparano magic with this crappy OL for years. Mike Tice, now he was a very good OL coach.

Here’s to hoping Stefanski goes to the file cabinet and dusts off Shurmur’s old playbook.

Vikings promote QBs coach Stefanski to OC

Vikings promoted QBs coach Kevin Stefanski to offensive coordinator.
Stefanski will replace John DeFilippo, who was fired on Tuesday. Giants coach Pat Shurmur tried to take Stefanski with him when he left last offseason, but the Vikings blocked the interview request. There was some thought Minnesota should have just promoted Stefanski after Shurmur left, and now he will get his shot. Considering coach Mike Zimmer's recent comments, Stefanski will likely lean on the running game a bit more than DeFilippo did this season.

lets roll these last 3 games. let Stefanski earn the oc job.

our playcalling this year is atrocious. same shit in any and all situstions. no screen game. rudolph invisivle most of the season. almost never establish the run. flip looked emotionless, never any creativity that worked. never any good quick passing game to negate horrible oline.

I picture a 5 year old picking plays off of our playcard.

It's the mental ability behind it that matters as much as the players executing it. You have to understand why you are in a certain formation. You have to understand what the opposing defense does week to week. You have understand what they are doing during the game. You need to have solid foundation of understanding all kinds of different defenses in order to attack. Rarely do teams have players that are so good that they melt the fundamentals of this game, where you can just pick whatever play you want and watch it work.

If you don't know why you are calling something ("this play is written in Crayon!" doesn't count) you are screwed in the league.

exactly, the great OCs dont necessarily have a better play book, they have a better undstanding of the whens and whys of playcalling and thats why their teams win.... or at least score a few times before its to late.
