Vikings seeks new direction, fire Childress

IN A move to change its fortune in the ongoing National Football League season, the Minnesota Vikings management had decided to fie head coach Brad Childress.

The decision to dismiss Childress after five NFL seasons with the team is not entirely a surprise since the Vikings have a disastrous 3-7 win-loss record this year.

The Vikings management hopes their decision to fire Childress will motivate the players to play even harder for the team this year.

The Vikings explained their decision to fire Childress is not only due to their bad record but also the recent ill-advised decisions of the latter that lead to turmoil and chaos to the team.

The NFL franchise had a huge aspiration for the team this year after veteran NFL quarterback Brett Favre foregoes his retirement and returned to the team this year for the last time.

However, Childress was inefficient on his job as the team suffered many losses in the ongoing NFL season.

Before losing his head coaching job, Childress went 40-37 with the Vikings, including 1-2 in the playoffs.

He was all in with Favre, riding his incredible 2009 season to the NFC championship game and then going down this year under the weight of his struggles to regain that rhythm.

Assuming the position as temporary head coach of the Vikings in the remainder of the current NFL season is defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier.

Frazier is very happy with his new job and he made a vow that he will do his best to bring back success to the NFL franchise.

Now that they have fired Childress, the Vikings hope their move would yield positive result for the team in the 2010 NFL season.
