NFL: Singletary Joining the Vikes

[Jonecy]

Not sure if this has been posted yet - I think it's a great move for the Vikes.

Mike Singletary said he's joining Minnesota Vikings coaching staff - ESPN

He'll coach the Linebackers and also be Associate HC.

Very solid hire

I never though he got a a fair shake at SF. I think he has the potential to be a good HC if he gets the chance again. I don't think SF has enough talent for any coach to do well there consistently.

I think this is a great hire as well. Singletary will be able to help Frazier learn from some of the mistakes he made in his 1st year as HC. Greenway should get even better under Singletary if they can re-sign him.

Who did Fazier hire as a DC?

Great choice, the only drawback is he will most likely be gone in a year or 2. I'm sure if any defensive coordinator positions are open, he will be on the top of the lists

Pretty sure he hired Fred Pagac (former Minnesota linebacker coach)

He would've had more time is he wasn't a such an egotistical, psycho zealot. You can have a terrible personality and crappy media relationship if you win, but if you're constantly finishing in the middle or lower in the worst division in the history of professional football you can't act like an a-hole.

What are we going to do about OC?

There are still a lot of holes to fill with the coaching staff and free agents.....not sure why it's taking so long, but I think Frazier wants to make sure he gets the right guys.
