While three straight blowout losses have turned up the heat on Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier and his staff, general manager Rick Spielman says the organization stands firmly behind its head coach and is optimistic things will turn around this season. ''Leslie Frazier is not going anywhere,'' Spielman said Friday. ''I am telling you that we are very committed to Leslie Frazier and this coaching staff. And we're committed to our players, and everybody is working extremely hard to get this thing turned around.'' The Vikings have opened the season with six losses in their first seven games, and the defeats have grown progressively more one-sided as the season has worn on.

Frazier needs the skill players to make his schemes at least have a chance at working. In this day and age the NFL is all about the trigger-man. While the roster list might be long on QB, there isn't one in the bunch that screams franchise man. That's what the Vikings need. That and a revamp to that defense.
i thought frazier had a very rough first year in 2011. some of his coaching decisions were very poor. but, then he turned in a decent 2012. i don't think their coaching staff has done a very good job this year but they have deficiencies in talent that are causing a lot of their issues.
Still think Frazier has the makings of a good coach. At least, if he's telling the truth, Spielman realizes the issues are more on field than the sidelines.
