Re: 2014 Current and Potential Coaches

I never googled Greg Roman. I have been impressed with him for several years. He has been part of every turnaround Jim Harbaugh has been part of. He knows how to turn teams around quickly and I think he could do it in a couple years in Minnesota.

Re: 2014 Current and Potential Coaches

I think the zone read looks (which they didn't use much this season, from what I saw) was more due to the skill set of Kaepernick, as opposed to Roman's philosophy. Before CK became the starter they ran a more traditional (albeit very creative) offense with Alex Smith. He was also Harbaugh's offens...

Re: 2014 Current and Potential Coaches

Why would that be a perfect fit in Minnesota? The 9ers play outdoors, and play a physical game with running emphasis. The Vikings are a dome team, who needs to have a high flying offense to keep up with every team that comes knocking. That makes no sense to me. Really shouldn't matter if we play in...

Re: 2014 Current and Potential Coaches

The biggest question would be if Ponder, Cassel, or Freeman could run this type of offense. Roman is known for multiple formations to create confusion and also likes to mix up the play calling up a lot. Not sure if we have the QB to run this type of offense. We still need a QB and I really don't lik...

Re: 2014 Vikings Draft Discussion

I think we are better defensively then we showed this year. What we need defensively is interior defensive lineman in my opinion and the DT position is pretty shallow this year. Louis Nix would be ok but he is ranked 26th overall. That would be a reach with the 8th pick. If we do go defense, Khalil ...

Re: 2014 Current and Potential Coaches

My second pick for Head Coach would probably be Todd Bowles. He has a lot of coaching experience. He has served as a Director of Player Personnel and worked on both sides of the ball as a coach. Plus he has Parcells as his mentor.

Re: 2014 Current and Potential Coaches

I would love to see David Shaw come to Minnesota but he has already stated he isn't interested in leaving Stanford.

Re: 2014 Vikings Draft Discussion

Why not look at a wide receiver? This draft has a solid group of WR's in it. Sammy Watkins from Clemson would be an excellent compliment to Patterson. I also like Mike Evans from Texas A&M. Marqise Lee from USC is a play maker. Also like Odell Beckham Jr. (LSU), Kelvin Benjamin (Florida State), ...

Re: 2014 Current and Potential Coaches

Here are my picks: Defensive Coordinator/Assistant Head Coach: Eric Mangini - Mangini is currently the senior offensive consultant for the 49ers but his specialty is defense. Mangini has had head coaching jobs at Cleveland and New York. He has also been defensive coordinator at New England. I think ...

Re: How do you feel about Ponder as our QB?

This is ridiculous :steamed: I thought maybe we were getting a staff that was intelligent but I guess not...Ponder had a hard time keeping his job in College and had a ton of injuries to boot. Now, Frazier and company decide that he is the next franchise quarterback :roll: We might as well kiss this...

Re: Stadium thread

That is a major problem in this country right now IMO, they only think short term because they are only elected for the short term, in some cases like the presidency you only get 2 terms or 8 years max by rule, obviously pros and cons to any set up though, don't want the same jerk for 50 years eith...
