A tale of two coaches

December 23, 2001: Minnesota Vikings head coach Dennis Green coached his final home game. The Vikes were obliterated by the Jacksonville Jaguars 33-3 in a game where there was very little (if any) intensity put forth by the home team. Green was fired twelve days later.

November 21, 2010: Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress coached his final home game. The Vikes were obliterated by the Green Bay Packers 31-3 in a game where there was very little (if any) intensity put forth by the home team. Childress was fired the next day.

The other common denominator? I was live and in person at the Metrodome for both those contests.

Lucky me!

So do you have one of those Grim Reaper getups like they have in the Seventh Seal?

Vikings coaches rightly fear Brad Carlson.

Question is, are Denny and Chilly together in eternity?

Denny is coaching in the UFL now. That would be more like purgatory, no?
