Early Chatter

* Tom Heckert, JR.-The personnel guru of the Philadelphia Eagles, will be asked for the Eagles permission to come in for an interview Monday for a chance to be the Director of Player Personnel for the Vikings, which the process for this position will be overseen by Rob Brezenki, who I wouldn't be shocked is annouced to have signed a New Deal tommorrow. Scott Studwell interviewed with the Vikings brass earlier.

Names jumping to the top include to replace Tice include : Gregg Williams (D-Cord) of the Washingston Redskins, Brad Childress (O-Cord) Philadelphia Eagles, and the Giants (D-Cord) Tim Lewis. Kirk Ferentz, Mark Richt, or Pete Carroll are coming on down the far outside. Marty Schottenheimer might be fired tommorrow by the Chargers, and I would be supportive of him coming to coach the Vikings. But I think they might want someone for the long-term.

*In a related note from Jay Glazer-Denny Green might be fired if he doesn't part with assistant coach Richard Solomon.
