I was very glad to see Brad Childress go, but it looks like the hawkeyes may have lost a pretty big supporter. Childress is an extended part of the Hayden Fry coaching tree as he got one of his first assistant jobs under Barry Alvarez. And Childress has kept Albert Young with the Vikings since he left Iowa. At first AY was on the practice squad, but he's been on the 53-man roster all year as the 3rd running back. Anyway, it looks like new head coach Frazier and OC Bevell aren't the ones who were big fans of AY - that was Childress. They're thinking about activating their 3rd string rookie QB, Joe Webb, and having him be the third RB.

And the Vikings have worked out Lorenzo Booker of the UFL to maybe bring him in to be the 3rd RB, too.
Anyway, it isn't looking good for AY.
