Zygi Wilf Still Considering Firing Vikings Coach Brad Childress

After Zygi Wilf conversed with members of the organization, including players, the Minnesota Vikings owner left some of those he spoke to with the impression he is still contemplating firing coach Brad Childress regardless of whether the Vikings win or lose against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, several sources told ESPN Senior NFL Analyst Chris Mortensen. If the Vikings win, Wilf is expected to measure the manner in which the team plays and how Childress manages the game. If the Vikings lose, there is a growing likelihood he would promote defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier to replace Childress, the sources said. Other members of the Vikings organization, including players, offered vivid description of the environment Childress has created around the team facility, including "we're walking on eggshells ... the air has been sucked out of the building ... nobody's having any fun." Childress should have already coached his last game, some Minnesota players told ESPN's Ed Werder. One veteran said: "I think there was a great window of opportunity this past week to make a change."
