Tice is Toast

The Vikings’ coach has now admitted that he scalped Super Bowl tickets while an assistant coach, and while continues to deny that he did the same as head coach, evidence suggests otherwise. I suspect he’s not long for the Vikings’ job, and at the very least he’ll likely be suspended- hopefully, before next month’s draft*.

I’ve been one of Tice’s toughest critics, and I should say that he’s probably not a bad guy. He’s just a guy who had no business ever being a head coach in the NFL, who was thrust into that role with little preparation, when he’s prone to bad judgment. This scalping thing is pretty consistent with what we know about Tice anyway, from having watched him coach for the past three years.

The strange thing is, the Vikes were having a stellar offseason as it was. The horrible Red McCombs sold the team; they both moved Randy Moss and got much higher value for him than San Francisco did last year for the far superior Terrell Owens; and they’ve added two big free agents (Pat Williams and Fred Smoot) on the defensive side of the ball. And on top of all that, now Tice may very well be out as well. There may be hope for this organization yet.

(*In Philly last weekend, I heard a sports-radio rumor that the Eagles could package Freddie Mitchell and a couple of mid-round draft choices to the Vikings in exchange for the 7th overall pick. I really hope that was just idle chatter/wishful thinking, because it’s the sort of move that Tice- if he’s still in charge a month from now- is just dumb enough to make).

McCombs is too cheap to pay for a 7th overall pick, and will trade it for 3 green beans and a piece of toast.
