It is now obvious. I poster earlier today that the Vikings needed to replace their offensive coordinator with someone outside the organization. And others have said that they need to start spending money to improve. But Red McCombs, the cheapest man in sports and possibly on the entire planet, is trying to sell the Vikings. And he wants every possible extra penny to fall into his pocket.
We should have been suspicious last year when he didn't fire Mike Tice. It became quite obvious that he was going to operate on the cheap when he picked up Tice's option after a second consecutive hideous meltdown punctuated by fraidy-cat play-calling and insane game-day decisions.
Scott Linehan leaped out of town yesterday, and before any of us could arrogantly tell Tice what to do, he and McCombs promoted another un-qualified assistant because Red doesn't want to spend any of his money on a real football coach.
This season Red McCombs knew he would be selling the team, so he has done everything in his power to make the Vikings appear stable, but he has been destroying this team.
Hopefully, a sale will come quickly. It can't possibly come quick enough for Vikings fans. We are probably looking at one last season of Mike Tice coaching, which means more average football, more disappointment, and one more year of "Maybe next year."
The coaching situation in Minnesota has become a joke. There are head coaches in college making more than the Vikings' coaching staff. And, as we all know, you get what you pay for.
