Consider the circumstances that Leslie Frazier has overcome to lead the Minnesota Vikings to a 3-2 record, including Tuesday night's upset victory at Philadelphia.
Off-the-field issues to Brett Favre and the multiple injures that stopped the quarterback's NFL-record consecutive starts streak. Randy Moss' short tenure. The end of the Brad Childress era. Games postponed and moved all over the place due to acts of nature.
Yet the interim coach has remained even-keeled about it all, and he said Thursday that he, Vikings owner Zygi Wilf and president Mark Wilf would arrange a time to meet after the season to discuss Frazier's status.
"We're going to talk today to set up some time to talk," Frazier said. "This is where I want to be, with the Minnesota Vikings. But the more important thing is going to Detroit and beating a much-improved team."
The Vikings (6-9) will finish a disappointing season that featured the firing of Childress, the re-acquisition and release of Moss, the three-ring circus that was Favre's season and the collapse of the Metrodome roof.
