There's trouble in Minnesota as Vikings quarterback Brett Favre and Vikings head coach Brad Childress are feuding over recent play calls. The blame for this fiasco is entirely on Favre, who yet again, is causing problems with a coach. His relationship with his coaches helped end his time in Green Bay and New York. He breeds his own drama and acts as though his years of experience in the NFL give him a say in how to run a team. Childress is trying to do the right thing and resolve the issues privately, whereas Favre has a history of informing media outlets of internal problems.
Favre should take a page out of the Indianapolis Colts playbook. When the Colts ended their run at perfection, the starting players were pulled at halftime due to the head coach's decision. They may have disagreed with it, but they're resolving the matter privately and publicly supporting their coach. Since the Favre-Childress tussle is out in the public, the coach's authority is being undermined. Should the Vikings not do well in the playoffs, fans will look at this tussle as the event that derailed the season.
