WTH is going on here?...

Report: Vikings told Parcells to “name his price”Posted by Mike Florio on April 4, 2012, 9:09 AM EDTGetty ImagesOn Tuesday, we reported that the Saints aren’t the only team that recently has pursued Bill Parcells. In a roundabout way, we hinted that the Vikings (owned by lifelong Giants fan Zygi Wilf) are one of the teams that has inquired about acquiring Parcells services.Given that the Vikings chose to keep coach Leslie Frazier and elevate Rick Spielman to G.M., it’s easy to assume that the Parcells pursuit went nowhere, and that the Vikings aren’t actively chasing Parcells at this point.A report in the New York Post suggests otherwise. According to an item in the Post that identifies no specific author or reporter, the Vikings currently are “putting the hard sell” on Parcells to “run the show” in Minnesota.The report specifically points to a dinner last week attended by Parcells, Saints coach Sean Payton, and several of Parcells’ close friends. At one point, Parcells said that Vikings owner Zygi Wilf told Parcells to “name his price” for overseeing the team’s football operations and coaching the team.But while that may have happened in, say, December, it would be bizarre, to say the least, for Wilf to jettison Frazier and Spielman in April. The hiring cycle has ended; by taking the job now, Parcells would face the difficult, if not impossible, task of putting together a staff and staffing the front office, especially with the draft roughly three weeks away.So while we definitely buy the notion that Wilf pursued Parcells at some point before settling on Frazier and Spielman for 2012, it’s more than a little far-fetched to think that Wilf is still trying to bring Parcells on board.It’s not far-fetched to think that Parcells is pushing that idea as he tries to squeeze every possible ounce of leverage from his current circumstances. By taking full advantage of the fact that the Vikings and the Saints are (or, in the case of the Vikings, were) trying to get him, Parcells at a minimum will come out of this with even more money to stay put at ESPN.

The report is from the NY Post and describes no specific author or reporter. Seems like a steaming load of Maybe one of Parcell's media cohorts trying to get Tuna some more cabbage, either with the Saints or ESPN.

 

[SayWhat?]

Why is that head banging worthy? Getting rid of the soft "players coach," even for a potentially past his time Parcells would be more of a thumbs up than a bang-my-head-against-the-wall move IMO.

Because they kept Frazier, promoted Spielman...and it's FREAKING APRIL!!!

Still not sure why the head banging? Is it because we're so close to the draft that bringing in a new GM would be bad timing?In reality, were keeping Frazier and promoting Spielman even close to "votes of confidence" in either? I'm assuming they kept Frazier because they would like to get to a point where they can cease paying multiple head coaches each year, and because Frazier's really only had a year on a team that was headed for a rebuild when he took over. That said, there were too many "Childress" moments for my taste, and getting Parcells would be an upgrade IMO. Also, I'm not a fan of the coach that seems to put more weight on having the players be his buddies than he should. As for Spielman, there were just too many hands in the cookie jar and I think the Vikings realized it, thus the promotion.

I just think that Parcells replacing the Frazier/Spielman combo would be a fine move.

Exactly! Never mind my feeling that Parcells is too old and the game has passed him by. Why would the Wilfs do something like this after all the assistant coaches and free agents have been picked through!? It's the stuff that self-implosions are made of. So far the vikings media relations are saying this is a complete fabrication.

 

[Prussian]

Not sold on Frazier .... or the choice of Musgrave for that matter.

But the Parcells talk is all smoke at this point.

The only way it is new conversations is if Parcells told the Vikes in January he wouldn't be returning and with the Saints talk lately Zigi wanted to make sure. Even then I think Parcells would have to sit out, or at best "advise", the decisions in the draft and observe the next year to make valid decisions.

Just the same, it's only "talk" to make the Saints pony up a top-dollar offer.

 

[ArcticEdge]

I really hope the Parcells story isnt true.

I still think we should take Blackmon. Guy reminds me of Jerry Rice, but more physical.

 

[FunkyPlutos]

Added Chris Carr today...I like the signing...nothing great but any help in the secondary is welcome!

Solid signing. Adds good CB depth for the crazy aerial attacks in the NFCN. I get the Spielman/ Frazier hate, but I'll wait on judgement for a while. This is a BIG rebuilding project and it's just getting started.

I am not sure on the Frazier hate. I realize it wasn't a big splash hire, but you knew they wouldn't make a big hire while still having to pay Childress. Given some time to rebuild this roster I think he is going to be a good coach for the long haul.

 

[SWC]

i hope chilly is spending the time he has still getting paid at home with his family being the good father and man he always was horrible what happened to him

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I don't think they're still paying Childress since he's now the OC in Cleveland.

 

[Herb]

I don't think they're still paying Childress since he's now the OC in Cleveland.

I believe they continue paying him the difference through the duration of the contract if his new gig is not as lucrative as his old one (which I'm sure it's not).

That's interesting to know. I'm sure he's making much less, so the Vikes are still on the hook for a bunch of dough.

 

[SWC]

they deserve it for the mean way they treated him

 

[Biabreakable]

So apparently no vowels is a Childress love child. Moving on.

We’ve officially entered the dog days of the NFL Draft process. Draftniks have overthought every possible scenario to the point of delirium, and with the Vikings essentially holding the No. 1 pick, the spotlight of insanity is shining squarely on Rick Spielman. Imaginations are running wild, and the irrational notion that a team may actually be willing to anti up for Ryan Tannehill at No. 3 is the flavor of the week. [snap back to reality]No self-respecting NFL personnel man is going to make that move, and while Spielman has been a deer in the headlights throughout his first offseason as Vikings GM, he can’t possibly botch the No. 3 pick. Left tackle Matt Kalil is the top non-QB prospect in the draft, and ever since Bryant McKinnie ate his way off the roster, the Vikings have been protecting Christian Ponder’s brittle blindside with a guard (Charlie Johnson). Joe Fan typically doesn’t notice the offensive line unless it’s failing. Joe Fan noticed Charlie Johnson a lot last season. Kalil’s not the sexy pick, but he’s the sensible pick. The real intrigue for the Vikings begins at pick No. 35, where they could go a number of different directions. That’s the “luxury” of being a 3-13 team. Wide ReceiverMichael Jenkins is currently penciled in as the team’s No. 2 receiver, which illustrates the seriousness of this situation. In Percy Harvin and the tight end tandem of Kyle Rudolph and John Carlson, the team has the middle/intermediate portion of the field covered. The glaring need is for an outside field stretcher. One factor that could work into the Vikings’ favor is that several previously receiver-needy teams picking between No. 3 and No. 35 (Tampa Bay, New England, San Francisco, Jacksonville, San Diego and Chicago) have already made substantial investments in the position this offseason via free agency and trades. Scott Cunningham/Getty ImagesKendall Wright is likely the best receiver with any possible (albeit slim) chance of falling to No. 35, but even if he were available, there are questions about the smallish Baylor product’s ability to win deep from the outside at the next level. With Harvin on-board, Wright looks redundant on paper. Workout warrior Stephen Hill has seen his draft stock soar since tearing up the Combine. Due to a run-heavy Georgia Tech system, his college production was unimpressive and his game lacks polish, but his freakish athleticism has frequently been mentioned in the same breath as fellow Yellow Jackets Demaryius Thomas and Calvin Johnson. Sadly, a 6’4”, 215-lb. specimen who runs a 4.36 40-yard dash is probably a pipe dream for the Vikings at No. 35.The Vikings’ South Carolina receiver pipeline (Troy Williamson and Sidney Rice) could come into play once again this year. Alshon Jeffery also has the ability to stretch a defense, but in a very different way than Stephen Hill. Like Sidney Rice, he lacks elite speed but has a big body and knows how to use it downfield. Jeffery’s stock has been all over the board throughout the draft process, largely due to dispelled weight concerns (I wouldn’t feed Minneapolis catering to my dog anyways). Projected as a late first rounder, Jeffery would be an imposing target for Ponder if he slides on draft day. LSU’s Rueben Randle is a polished receiver with an impressive combination of size/speed/hands, and he probably has a higher floor and lower ceiling than Jeffery. He’d be a safe pick for the Vikings. Rutgers’ Mohamed Sanu is of the same ilk, but grades out a half-tick behind Randle by most scouts.CornerbackThe Vikings’ first pick in the 2010 draft, Chris Cook, recently wiggled out of his domestic assault charges and has a firm chokehold on a starting spot. The team has also added a pair of (luke)warm bodies in free agents Zach Bowman and Chris Carr, so despite ranking 26th in pass defense last season, Minnesota may feel confident enough to go a different direction early in the draft. Is Janoris Jenkins worth the risk? Joe Robbins/Getty ImagesIf the fast-rising Stephen Gilmore were to slip to No. 35, he’d be a lock. He won’t, nor will Alabama’s Dre Kirkpatrick, so if the Vikings are looking for a value cornerback at this spot, they’ll have to roll the dice on baby-making machine Janoris Jenkins. There are scouts who put him on par with Morris Claiborne in terms over pure cover ability, but Jenkins has proven to be nothing more than an athletic criminal. He’s the ultimate boom-or-bust prospect, and the Vikings can’t afford to miss with this pick. There’s a dropoff to Nebraska’s Alfonzo Dennard, UCF’s Josh Robinson, Montana’s Trumaine Johnson and Oklahoma’s Jamell Fleming, so unless Gilmore falls, the Vikings would be wise to wait until the third round to address the cornerback position.SafetyIn case you missed it, the Tyrell Johnson experiment came to an unceremonious end last week, leaving the Vikings with a pair of special teamers (Jamarca Sanford and Mistral Raymond) roaming the deep halves of the antiquated Tampa 2. In a division that boasts Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, Jermichael Finley, Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson, Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall, this should terrify you. Alabama’s Mark Barron is the jewel of a(nother) weak safety class, so he has little chance of falling out of the first round. The consolation prize is Notre Dame’s Harrison Smith, who, like Kalil, would be a safe pick that could help both immediately and long-term. He has excellent size and knows how to lay the wood. The Vikings have a solid recent history of scouting Notre Dame prospects, so keep an eye on Smith.Wild CardsAs the Vikings proved with their second-round selection of Kyle Rudolph last year, they’re (wisely) not averse to sloughing need in favor talent if the opportunity presents itself. This is, after all, a two-year rebuilding plan (at best). There are a handful of players who could give Spielman something to consider if they’re available at No. 35.The Vikings just extended Letroy Guion, who’s slated to play out of position as the one-technique tackle alongside Kevin Williams. Penn State behemoth Devon Still (6’5”, 310 lbs.) is inconsistent and has an injury history, but he’s an imposing force who warrants consideration. Same goes for Michigan State’s 6’3”, 310-lb. Jerel Worthy.Georgia guard Cordy Glenn checks in at nearly 6’6”, and 345 lbs, and he can also play tackle. While the free agent addition of Geoff Schwartz has added another competitor to the interior mix, and the Vikings have already (presumably) added an offensive lineman in Matt Kalil, Glenn would be too good to pass up here. The third pick is garnering all the headlines, but drafting Kalil is a mere formality—Spielman's true evaluation begins at pick No. 35

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1136661-nfl-draft-minnesota-vikings-options-at-no-35I am going to assume that most of these prospects will be gone by the time the Vikings pick at 35. I do think the Vikings should consider giving up their 2nd and 4th round picks to move up into the late 1st round if a player high on their board is dropping. Not sure how high the 4th could take them? Picks 25-32 I am guessing. If all were available, who would you pick for the Vikings at No. 35? And who do you think would be worth trading up for at the end of the 1st round?Possible options:WRAlshon JefferyStephen HillRueben RandleTommy StreeterBrian QuickCBDre KirkpatrickStephon GilmoreJanoris JenkinsChase MinnifieldSafetyHarrison SmithMark BarronDTDevon StillILBDont'a HightowerMychal KendricksThe way I am seeing it there is depth at WR, CB and Guard that could possibly still last until our 3rd round pick. It would be great to get one of these safeties as I am not seeing anyone else from safety that would be a impact player like these 2. Considering that, I would look to move up to take one of them if needed. Or we could also look at trading into the mid-end of 2nd round using our 3rd n 4th picks to do so and possibly get 2 of these players.

 

[Donnybrook]

I am going to assume that Gilmore and Kirkpatrick are gone in the early first and Chase Minnifield would be a reach due to his dismal 40 time. I will probably change my mind a dozen more times before the draft but this is my opinion as of now.

Option 1: Stay at 35 for Hill, Randle or Jenkins. If none are available see option 2.

Option 2: Trade down from 35 and grab either: Boykin, Kendricks, Wagner, Horsley or Zeitler. Other targets (that I am not sold on) include Jeffery, H. Smith, Sanu or "rock hands" Denard.

Third (or later) round targets I like would be: Hayward, M. Martin, or M. Jones

I would hate to see the Vikings give up a 4th rounder because they have had some success in that round with Edwards, Robison, Griffen and Ballard. Don't want them to miss out on a sleeper like Tank Carder.

 

[RustyFA4]

I like these options. I think that Randle will be a very good WR. Our 35 pick could become a 1st next year and a 4th this year, I would also like it if they grabbed a good og there.

[Donnybrook]

When Josh Robinson blew away the competetion in the 40 at the combine, I kind of dismissed him as another Fabian Washington (not bad but overrated). Maybe a closer examination is warranted. It looks to have good tools in addition to the elite speed. http://www.ucfvideos.com/videoplayer.php?vi=c220bbabbf

Another player that we could add to the second round list. ???

 

[encaitar]

I love Randle. I think he has the most upside of any WR in this class. Blackmon and Floyd have higher floors, but I can see Randle becoming better than both of them if everything plays out right for him. I don't see him lasting until 35 though. He goes early 20s is my guess.

That is Ryan Bosers words not mine. I pretty much ignore anything said about Chris Cook.Thanks for the video Donny. Josh Robinson has some good recovery speed and plays the ball. I have not noticed him being talked about as a 2nd round prospect. Minnifield isn't either. That is partly why I think we could wait until round 3 and still get a good corner. While using the 2nd pick in another area like safety or just BPA whoever falls.The reason I am ok with using our 4th round pick to move up is because we have 2 other 4th round picks for fliers.

I just took a look at Shawn Zobel's mock: http://draftheadquar.../mock-draft.htm He has 5 CBs going in the first round including Josh Robinson to Detriot at 23. I believe Zobel's final mock has been consistantly in the top 5 in accuracy according to the Huddle report. I imagine that his early mocks are purposely not as accurate.

That starts with Kalil at #3 and goes from there.

Huh? I hope this is not serious. If anyone seriously had to take a month off of work because the football team he roots for lost a game, well..that individual has some real serious issues.Andy has always seemed like a good, reasonable solid Vikings fan. I respect his input and am glad to see his perspectives even though I am a Packer fan.

I would frankly be afraid of what sort of demented mind would allow the loss of a football game to disrupt their personal life for a month.

Btw, Im 100 x the Vikings "fan" you are. Seriously, just go root for another team. Thanks.

Congratulations?

Thanks, I do take pride in being a huge fan. Not sure why part time fans like yourself even bother. I took a month off work after the Vikes lost to the Saints. Real fans feel the pain of failure and the euphoria of victory, unlike middle road clowns like yourself. I still have the Vikings vs 49ers game on my DVR with the Favre to Greg Lewis TD. I watch it before every game of Madden I play on Xbox.

Huh? I hope this is not serious.

Why dont you convince Andy to be a Packer's fan. Doubt it would take much..

I'll be irate if we don't take Kalil at #3. This is such a no-brainer it's not even funny.

but I am beginning to get a dreadful feeling that Speilman will want to showeveryone how much smarter he is than everyone else.

Truth.I may not like some of you guys and you may not like me but for better or worse we are stuck together. So the Vikings signed a back up MLB Marvin Mitchell who is a special teams ace. I suppose the lack of competition at linebacker gives him some hope of possibly starting at some point. Rumors seem to be getting more foolish by the day. Talk of trading Webb or Griffin for mid round draft picks. No thank you.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Let's say the rumors of trading with Miami are true. Who would they target at #8? I'd think either one of the WR's or possibly even Kuechly.

The reason for the latter is that the MLB has to be much more athletic than Brinkley if they're going to run the same Cover 2 scheme they have been.

Andy was being a #####. He is a so so fan like urbanhack. And he needed the beat down.
