Vikings | Childress in town to interview
Mon, 2 Jan 2006 20:54:48 -0800

Sean Jensen, of the Pioneer Press, reports Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator, Brad Childress, arrived Monday evening, Jan. 2, in the Twin Cities. He is scheduled to interview for the head coach's job with owner Zygi Wilf and his brother, team President Mark Wilf. The Wilfs have made it clear they will invest generously in their coaching staff. The Vikings want to move swiftly with their coaching staff because they want their new leader to surround himself with well-respected assistants.

I am gonna guess this one is a slam dunk for Childress .

Collins out as Browns President

John Collins is out as Browns President, The Plain Dealer's Tony Grossi reports.

It is not clear yet whether Collins will leave the Lerner organization completely or be reassigned to the holding company that manages the Lerner family business.

In his daily podcast on cleveland.com, Grossi says that Phil Savage will stay on as General Manager as a result of Collins' departure. Former Browns executive Lew Merletti will also return to the team in some capacity.

The moves come after a power struggle that resulted in the apparent firing of Savage on Friday before owner Randy Lerner stepped in and took control of the situation.

Given this one statement, I would question the reliability of the "league sources" because since the Gruden to Tampa trade, the NFL has ruled that draft picks can not be traded for a coach.

ESPN was reporting that Martz is a candidate for NO job...mixed feelings about that one...Will he be healthy enought to last more than one or two games?

I hope they at least consider Childress, or ask permission to talk to Norv Turner
