Football is a team game, and Moss is anything but a team player. I was all for them signing him when I heard it as I thought maybe he had changed. But no, he will never change. 50% effort 100% of the time. Why do you think New England let him go, because he was such a great teammate and hard worker? And anyone that thinks Childress makes the personnel changes on his own is not thinking clearly.
Just like LA took the Lakers.....

Moss gone. Favre done after this season if he survives that long. Chilly most likely gone at end of season if not before. Pat Williams retires. Metrodome contract over after this season. Vikings gone to wherever. How will the poor MN folks find a way to punish themselves when this soap opera leaves town? The Vikes have done so many stupid things over the years. Half the newspapers in the state will probably fold.

ok fun stuff is over....Moss is NOT gone he is on waivers!!from what i seen on the news he is now a player they will trade if someone would like him....maybe just maybe chilly did that so he could show moss who the boss is........vikes are not going any where!! nice dream you all have over there in chedderville!!!! oh ya see ya all on the 21st....
Here in WI we take our cheese seriously...it's spelled cheddarville!!
BTW, Moss is gone. A player gets put on waivers once the original team terminates the player's contract. Waivers is simply a 24 hr claiming period before the player becomes a free agent.
From Answers.com--
The Waiver Wire works like this:
Team A signs Player X to a contract
Player X makes the roster and is on the team during the regular season
Team A decides it no longer wants Plaer X on its roster
Team A terminates the players contract, releasing him from his duties
Before Player X becomes a free agent, he hits the Waiver Wire
When his name goes on the waiver wire, every team in the NFL has the option to pick up the players original contract (the one Player X originally signed with Team A)
The Waiver Wire is like the NFL Draft in that teams with the worst records get first crack at the players who have been released
Once a team passes on the player then they cannot go back and claim him
If no team signs the player, then he becomes an unrestrictd free agent

I would guess, and only guess, that the coaches would get paid. It's a management/worker labor issue. Coaches are management, players are workers. If management locks out the union, management would still get paid, I would guess. Owners would not lock out management, they are on the same side in the dispute. Only a guess.
You could be right, as this is a "players union" dispute. But I'm not sure how that works either. I guess I don't know why the owners would pay ANYONE if the games are not played, even the officials would get burned, I would think. Anybody have the real answer?
Or I could be wrong!
While one must always be wary of Internet stuff, I did find this, which basically says it is an issue of contract between the coach and the team.
*********************************************
NFL coaches could be greatly affected by a potential NFL lockout in the 2011 season according to Lester Munson of ESPN.com.
While it appears most of the NFL head coaches will get paid and work during the lockout, the real losers could be the assistant coaches.
NFL teams employ an average of 19 coaches, according to Larry Kennan, the executive director of the NFL Coaches Association, a professional association of coordinators and assistants formed to share salary information and increase coaches' leverage.
According to contract studies made by Kennan and the NFLCA, the average salary of an assistant coach is $350,000. The average cost of a coaching staff is only $6.7 million, a small amount compared to a player payroll in the range of the 2009 salary cap of $128 million.
Munson reports most teams have insisted on including lockout clauses in the contracts they've given their coaches that will reduce their salaries and, in some cases, dismiss them altogether. Those owners view the lockout as an opportunity to cut their costs. They could use the lockout clauses to save money.
In an article in the recent issue of the Marquette Sports Law Review, St. Louis attorney Robert H. Lattinville (of the firm of Stinson Morrison Hecker LLP) and NYU law professor Robert A. Boland point out that both the Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals have awarded "coach-friendly" contracts to their staffs. Those teams would continue to pay their coaches during a lockout.

I was all for bringing Moss back, and disappointed with yesterday's news, but if this is indeed the case, I'm all for what Chilly did. Whether it be a salvagable season, or we go 2-14 the remainder, I won't look back placing the blame on this move. We all know he walks a fine line with his antics, but this is just plain and simply uncalled for. (Read the article)

Yikes!
I would hope the Vikings would STAY,...
Los Angeles got the Lakers,...
Dallas,... The North Stars,...
Thank goodness the Twins have that beautiful new field.
Geez,..
One year after the NFC Championship,... and things are unravelling
at break-neck speed.
Though I am a Packers fan,...
Having lots of friends in Minnesota,...
That bites (having SO MUCH Chaos).
The Lions are looking better though!
Think Snow! LOTS of Snow!

They will still be able to cry over the Twins when the Vikings leave.

"They don't know or care who I am", "avid fans", "tragic human condition", "capitalist elite",
Obviously, you have more severe problems than what the Vikings are doing with Randy Moss. WOW!

Everyone is always quick to rush to judgement and blame this all on Childress. Any professional organization, business or sports, would have done the same thing had one of their employees behaved in the same manner. What would you critics have said had this behavior (and there's more from what I've heard) come out later and Childress had done nothing about it? You'd be calling him the same names etc. The guy can't win. It took a lot of courage to make that move knowing how much you would be criticized. I support the decision 100%, just like I supported Thompson getting rid of Favre because I've never had a more fun season as a Viking fan than last year! You win some and you lose some, but I will always be a faithful Viking fan.
