Zygi Wilf "not happy" with the decision to cut Randy Moss

It's getting even hotter for Chilly in Minnesota.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Vikings owner Zygi Wilf is "not happy" with the decision of coach Brad Childress to cut receiver Randy Moss.

At a time when rumors already are swirling that Childress could be dumped for defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, the notion that the guy who signs the checks doesn't like the decision of Childress to dump Moss doesn't bode well for the fifth-year head coach.

Even if Childress has full authority over the 53-man roster, it's not prudent to use that authority haphazardly. Childress needs to know when it makes sense to give folks advance notice as to moves that will cause a ruckus. The fact that he doesn't understand this basic concept of organizational dynamics makes us wonder whether he's smart enough to coach an NFL team.

His players could probably point to various other tangible examples to support that same point.

Childress has EVERY right to what he wants with HIS players. Tell the owner to go fuck himself Childress. Maybe the releasing was a bit much, but, funny. Maybe just bench the guy or something.

But still, shut up Ziggy, sign the checks and shut up. Maybe you need another dose of Mike Tice? Wow, THOSE were some good years weren't they?

WRONG. Childress has every right to BENCH AND/OR DEACTIVATE Moss, but cutting a player is MANAGEMENT'S DECISION. And how the hell Childress is going to tell the team that he cut Moss BEFORE telling management? That really makes Wilf look like a fool.

Think about it. I'm certain, that Belicek informed and consulted with Kraft before he decided to cut Moss.

Obviously Childress had the power to make this move without checking with the owner. Hence the point of the article.

Childress appears to have no people skills.

I think he's got a bright mind for the game, but if you can't manage personalities, you can't be a successful head coach.

It also doesn't help that he's a nerd.

Yup, it's in Childress's contract that he can do whatever he wants with the 53 man roster, without prior authorization from the owner.

The only thing that really hurts Minnesota now is, the fact they gave up a third round pick for nothing. lol

So this guy is OK with scumbags destroying the lockerroom and insulting hardworking people?

He's a f'ing moron.
