Childress is firmly on the hot seat and needs to win now.2. The roster outside of the QB position has never been better for the Vikings and there isn't a position outside of QB that isn't Super Bowl caliber (by which I mean that there isn't a corps on the roster that is really below average enough to be a hindrance. So they are in a position to win now and they think that they had a chance to get a QB who may do that for them before time runs out - because Sagevaris Jacksonfels wasn't going to get that done.3. The stadium situation can't be overlooked. They came close to getting blacked out a couple of times last year and fan support is waning. They've sold thousands of tickets already since the announcement came this morning. Overall, this ownership of the Wilfs is a good one who has not been afraid to make a big splash and stick their noses into any situation if it means improving the team or stirring up excitement in order to bring in more $ and thus help in their pursuit of a new stadium.</blockquote>
