Best choice for a new Vikings coach?
This is an article at ESPN.com about Art Schell interviewing for the Miami head coaching position. I doubt that Schell will get the position since NicK Saban of LSU rumors are flying so high. But this is my inspiration for naming Art Schell the new coach of the Minnesota Vikings.
I like Tice, but he is still a O-line coach, not a head coach. Someday he may be the coach we want him to be, but not now. Art Schell would be perfect for coaching in the NFC “Norris” Division, given his Radiers history.
I doubt any of this will happen, since McCombs is too stingy, but you never know.
ESPN.com – NFL – Smith: Good call: “We can’t see history, even if it’s just over the horizon.
Art Shell holds the distinction of being the first black coach of the NFL’s modern era, the first since football pioneer Fritz Pollard some eighty years ago. Fifteen years after that historic promotion, perhaps Shell, a Hall of Fame offensive tackle, will become the first black Bill Belichick/Dom Capers/Tom Coughlin/Norv Turner — all of whom served several years as assistants before receiving a second opportunity.”
