Minnesota Vikings take interim tag off coach Leslie Frazier's title
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings have reached an agreement with Leslie Frazier to be their next coach.

The Vikings announced Monday they're removing the interim tag from Frazier's title. Frazier took over on Nov. 22 when Brad Childress was fired, and the Vikings went 3-3 under the 51-year-old after a 3-7 start.

The defensive coordinator under Childress and a former cornerback for the Bears, Frazier drew positive reviews from the players for his steady approach. They've pushed for him to get the job on a permanent basis, after many of them grew frustrated with Childress and his rigid style.

Frazier is the eighth coach in the franchise's 50-year history.

1. That's the best way to celebrate Bret Favre's retirement
Give the coach a permanent job.

Well, about a permanent as an NFL coaching job gets, anyway.
