Tice compiled a 32-35 record since first assuming the head coaching position on an interim basis for the last game of the 2001 season. Under his stewardship, the Vikings made one playoff appearance, as a wild-card entry in 2004.

Damn, he finishes 9-7 with that squad and gets fired. For shame.

This isn't much of a surprise. After the Love Boat, the ticket scalping, and the years of underacheiving, he deserved to be fired. He should have been fired a few years ago.
