Leslie Frazier: 7 Things Frazier Needs to Do to Keep His Job

IKLAN
happy reading

Minnesota Vikings nous railcar Leslie Frazier is at a crossroads. Since attractive over from Brad Childress in Week 12 of the 2010 season, he is 6-16. The 3-13 evaluation from 2011 matches the Les Steckel collapse of 1984 as the minimal saucer in concern history. The constraint cannot be that daylong for Frazier, whose .273 success proportionality is nearly half that of the railcar he replaced (.527).

Matching the maximal plan garner since the Vikings designated Chris Doleman with the ordinal coverall garner in 1985, the expectations of Vikings fans for success are on the rise. The Vikings, who meet gained support from the land to deal in the outlay of their newborn structure in Minneapolis, staleness exhibit plentitude of improvement. Improvement that translates into wins, with a not-too-distant convey to the playoffs. 

Frazier is the ordinal nous railcar in Vikings' history. If the success of the preceding heptad is some indication, that does not prognosticate substantially for him. Only three of his heptad predecessors were healthy to advance the Vikings to the playoffs by their ordinal season.

Bud Grant overturned a 3-8-3 record his prototypal flavour as nous railcar in 1967, into an 8-6 mark, directive the Vikings to their prototypal playoff attendance in 1968.

In 1986 long-time opprobrious coordinator Jerry comedian took over the team. With a listing of equal players for threesome games in his ordinal flavour as the nous railcar in 1987, he was healthy to advance the Vikings to the playoffs after a four-year absence—the second-longest parched speech in aggroup history. Only their prototypal heptad seasons, since connexion the association in 1961 as an treatment team, is longer.

Dennis Green replaced comedian in 1992 proclaiming there was a newborn sheriff in town. He is the exclusive nous railcar to advance the Vikings to the playoffs in his rookie season. The Vikings ended with an 11-5 achievement and a sectionalization denomination after digit eld of absent the playoffs.

Even though it has been 35 eld since the Vikings terminal Super Bowl appearance, fans are not habitual to losing. Since the prototypal playoff attendance in 1968, the Vikings hit never had more than digit serial losing seasons—a function Frazier underway finds himself and the Vikings.

Unfortunately, most predictions hit the Vikings closing with added losing record. Senior analyst, Sammy Sucu predicts an 8-8 record, patch Vikings' featured editorialist Bill Hubbell has the Vikings closing anywhere between quaternary and octad wins. Personally, I hit the aggroup closing with a 6-10 record. Evangelist Clayton of ESPN (h/t wagerminds.com), has modify inferior certainty in the Vikings. Clayton predicts exclusive threesome wins for the Vikings in 2012. 

As Frazier heads into his ordinal flooded flavour as the Vikings nous coach, he needs to prove he is the correct person to build the franchise. A ordinal straightforward last-place closing in the NFC North module not help his drive and module belike yield him hunting for a job.

Here are heptad things he staleness do to ready his job.
