Flip. If you could ELIMINATE one COACH from your favorite team's history...

agree with this 100%

tice also had the smallest coaching staff (some coaches pulling double duty
red mccombs was the owner atthe time and during the tice era. red would eseentially pocket the c ap space and not spend money on defense - putting tice in a huge

tice was aloof but a likeable guy, a former player and at the very learst a good offensive line coach (previously).

on the other hand, childress was a curmudgeon; a know-it-all psych major that thought he was always right with his mind games.

he had a fallout with culpepper at the pro-bowl (when childress was with the eagles) and once he became vikings coach badmouthed and leaked negative info to the media (about culpepper not rehabbing properly, etc). that relationship was over before it even started.

let's not forget, this was the same guy that ultimately got t.owens booted off the eagles. it was childress that egged owens on to make him lose his cool.

hardly any of the players even liked him. he cut marcus robinson on christmas eve (on purpose, not only to prove a point but to humiliate him) after robinson said something about the offense being too conservative. he also fined troy williamson for not coming back in time after williamson went back home to grieve the loss of his grandmother (the woman who had raised him).

he was super arrogant; taking credit for "developing" mcnabb and having a "kick-ass offense," which btw, vikings offense ranked toward the bottom almost every year, sans the good favre year. this egg-head, eventually wound up having problems with favre too in regard to play calling - used to get pissed off if any of the qb's audibled out of a play.

last but not least, getting rid of randy moss (mainly because randy praised NE) and childress with his ego, couldn't take this type of "insubordination". he didn't notify mark wilf (part owner and vikings president) beforehand, when it was wilf that was instrumental in getting randy back to minnesota in the first place. consequently, that move, the teams sub-par performance and his history of butting heads is what lead to his firing.

imo, he's by far the worst coach we've ever had, even worse than les steckel (with a 3-13 season at that).

i celebrated like we won the superbowl when chilly got canned. dudes play calling would be run run run pass punt. even when we had firepower (rice & harvin). The playaction should've been crazy with AD in the backfield

You weren't around to suffer through Kotite?

For as bad as Kotite was- he was only there for two years and it finally made Hess realize he needed a real coach. Without Kotite, there's no Bill Parcells.

Herman Edwards and Coslet were the two worst over the past 20 years. The Edwards Jets were probably the worst coached football team I've ever seen from an organizational standpoint. A lot of talent thrown away his first few seasons because he had no idea what he was doing.

The Jets have had a bunch of shytty coaches. Joe Walton too.

Bill Cartwright. Tim Floyd sucked no doubt, but look at what Bill Cartwright "accomplished":

-Made a potential star look bummy. Jay Williams was beasting before he got hurt. Even had a game where he got a triple-double against Jason Kidd's Nets with like 24, 13, and 12. The number 2 pick is supposed to learn on the job, not go to the bench because you're trying to win (and they still couldn't do that).

-He made a starter lose his job due to injury. Jay Williams was the starting PG, but once he got hurt, Cartwright decided to start Jamal Crawford. He refused to play them both at the same time. Due to Williams' being benched, his stats suffered, making him look bummy.

-He refused to tank. Mind you, LeBron, Melo, etc were all coming out the following year. The Bulls had amongst the worst records in the league. The last few weeks of the season, he decided to start Crawford with Williams, and they started winning (WTF). They won so much that they no longer were in the running for worst record in the league. In a year that we could've gotten LeBron, our record was so "good" that we ended up with Hinrich.
