Ok for all those peeps that think the Vikings should start over with a new coach, who you got? I don't think a coaching change is it but I'm just curious

Part of the reason they started out the season 1-4 was because KOC refused to play any starters in the preseason, so the first four games was essentially getting the starters used to contact and playing a full game.

Again so what if there was a sliver of a chance at the playoffs, I mean seriously they could have limped in but why? It's not like they were going anywhere. And with the back to back beatings, the team needs to move forward. Also what is the mandate from the Wilfs? Is it still "competitive rebuild" (aka butts in seats) or what? This offseason is going to be huge.
When you are the coach of a professional football team you play to win.  The playoffs are a big deal.  Was this team going to win the Super Bowl -- hell, no, but how valuable is it to young players to get that taste? that experience? -- it's worth a ton.  KOC played Hall because he could not coach Mullins to avoid unnecessary reckless plays and thought Hall was our best chance to win.  He was wrong.  Just like he was wrong about Mattision and Dobbs after the bye week...

I understand the playoffs are a big deal but obviously the weaknesses and holes of the team are evident. Whether Mullens or Hall, it was a no win situation

Any team featuring JohnnyFuckingMundt in a division game is tanking, I don’t care what Kevin O’Coachspeak says publicly.  ;) B)
