Tice Watch - Ziggy says he's safe

Ziggy says Tice will be coaching the Minnesota Vikings for the rest of the year.  I think Ziggy saying this helps my prediction, but how many times has that been the death stamp for coaches?  It will be interesting and entertaining to watch it play out.

One issue that has been crossing my mind concerning Tice’s “come to Jesus” meeting from the other day is that we’ve got players (3 unidentified starters) saying Tice quit on the team.  We’ve also got players (Birk specifically) saying the complete opposite - that Tice was saying that he wouldn’t quit on the team.  So he was obviously not completely clear in the way he communicated his thoughts.  He probably translated the meaning of his paper route story to some moral that he learned and I would guess that the 3 unidentified starters didn’t get it.  His point went straight over their heads.  My concern is if Tice has that much difficulty communicating his thoughts to a team of average intelligence (from the wonderlick test), how would he survive with a team of lower intelligence, like the Green Bay Packers?  How does he deal with the idiots on the team that miss the points of his stories/teachings/etc?
