EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – Leslie Frazier didn’t offer many specifics about possible changes to his coaching staff or offensive system after being named Vikings head coach on Monday. But he made it pretty clear the team will chart a new direction at quarterback.
Frazier was asked if he can envision trying to talk Brett Favre out of retirement.
“I cannot think of any circumstance where I would pick up the phone and say, ‘Brett, do you want to come back next season?'” Frazier said. “I cannot think of any circumstance where that would occur at all.”
Frazier acknowledged that change is necessary in a variety of areas if the Vikings are going to climb back after a 6-10 record and last-place finish in the NFC North.
With 18 free agents, Frazier admitted the roster will look “dramatically different,” but he doesn’t view it as a rebuilding job.
