Holmgren wants to coach, Childress feeling the heat?

The Seattle Times reported today that Mike Holmgren is already wanting to coach again. The story claims that he's targeting the 2010 season, but with all the Favre talk lately, is there a possible Minnesota conspiracy brewing here? That's the take that KFAN's Dan Barriero took this evening on his Bumper to Bumper program.

So here's the take, Favre is tossing the pigskin with High School kids again (it's true, it's happening again) to test out his arm while awaiting the word from his X-rays that were sent to the Vikings. Favre knows that Holmgren wants to coach again so he contacts him and fills his head with the idea of being his Head Coach again in Minnesota. Add to that the fact that the Vikings Offensive Coordinator is Darren Bevel who was Favre's QB coach in Green Bay. Are you seeing the possibilities here now? Do they seem that far fetched when you really think about it? Think Childress is feeling the hot seat now?

All the die-hard Childress haters are screaming YES! NO! and YES! to those questions. That includes most of the Favre haters up to this point. Let's face it, Childress has not been well received in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Even after leading the team to the Playoffs last year with a grizzled veteran and the continuing Jackson Experiment, fans have been clamoring to see "The Stache" fired. When it comes down to it, here's how it looks:

• Childress and Jackson

or

• Holmgren and Favre

I'm pretty certain that most level-headed Vikings fans would jump all over the second option considering the defense the Vikings have in place right now and offense capable of prolific stature with a capable (key word here, capable) signal caller.

Will it ever happen? I highly doubt it, but it sure continues to make things interesting here in Minnesota. We are either about to become the center of the Football Universe or destined for mediocrity this season. Why not toss the proverbial wrench in the system and spice it up around here for a change.
