| 1st January, 2006 - 10:53 pm |  AP - The Minnesota Vikings fired coach Mike Tice after Sunday's victory over Chicago.
The team announced that owner Zygi Wilf would not renew Tice's contract less than an hour after the Vikings' 34-10 win over the Bears in the regular season finale. Tice, who finished his fourth full season with a 32-32 record, had already addressed the media before the move was made public.
His tenure was mostly marked by streaks and scandals, with a $100,000 fine levied last summer against him by the league for scalping his Super Bowl tickets and a wild boat party during the team's bye week this season that produced misdemeanor charges for four players.
After starting 2-5, the Vikings won six straight before losing two in a row to fall out of contention for the playoffs. [READ] |
