ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting on Twitter that the Minnesota Vikings have made Leslie Fraizer their head coach, no interim. This move has been expected since a report from Sunday by The Star-Tribune’s Judd Zulgad indicated the Vikings were planning to make the move. Schefter:
Leslie Frazier Now Minnesota Vikings Head Coach, According To Report
Vikings and Leslie Frazier have reached an agreement that will remove the interim tag from Frazier’s title.
Frazier went .500 as the Vikings head coach, giving him the best record of any 2010 Vikings head coach. The Vikings still have a talented roster, but will need to settle on a quarterback, for starters.
He’ll take over as only the eighth head coach in the franchise’s 50-year history, and the second Vikings coach in the past decade to take over midseason and then continue on into the next season as head coach. Mike Tice, who preceded Brad Childress, relieved Dennis Green during the 2001 season.
