The Facts:
The Vikings will name Philadelphia offensive coordinator Brad Childress to be their next head coach on Friday, according to two persons with knowledge of the coaching search. Childress, 49, interviewed with the Vikings on Tuesday and was scheduled to talk to the Green Bay Packers on Wednesday; that meeting never took place. Reported by the Minneapolis Star Tribune

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Vikings turned their attention to Childress after Washington's Gregg Williams signed a three-year, $8 million contract to remain with the Redskins on Tuesday. The Vikings also interviewed defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell, Kansas City assistant head coach and offensive coordinator Al Saunders, and Indianapolis assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach Jim Caldwell for the position.
