3 HEAD COACH LESLIE FRAZIER LESLIE FRAZIER NFL Head Coach: 3rd Year Overall NFL Experience: 21st Year Coaching Experience: 26th Year Overall NFL Record: (.381) Regular Season: (.390) Postseason: 0-1 (.000) Record with MIN: (.381) Leslie Frazier led the Vikings to a 2012 Wild Card playoff berth in his 2nd full season coaching the club and shattered outside expectations for a team that underwent a significant roster overhaul and relied on a talented but young core group with veteran leadership at key positions. The 2012 team marked Frazier s 8th team in 14 seasons coaching in the NFL that advanced to the playoffs, 6 of those teams as division winners, and he has suffered only 3 losing seasons. With the unique perspective of a Super Bowl winner as a player and coach, Frazier has a proven track record of success. His 1st title came as a starting CB with the 1985 Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XX. Since taking over the head coaching duties of the Vikings for the final 6 games of the 2010 season, Frazier has been committed to building a roster with talent and character that places value on playing smart, team-oriented football. The 2012 Vikings set a franchise record by improving by 7 victories over the season before, finishing 10-6 to earn the 6th seed in the NFC playoffs after a 3-13 campaign in The 2012 team was 1 of 4 participants in the 2012 playoffs that were not in the tournament the season before. The Vikings came together as a team when it mattered most, winning the final 4 games of the regular season, including wins over playoff-bound Houston on the road and against NFC North champion Green Bay at home in the regular season finale. The Vikings counted on several rookies and 2nd-year players making huge contributions. The team started rookies LT Matt Kalil (1st round, #4) and S Harrison Smith (1st round, #29) in all 16 games while rookie kicker Blair Walsh had an NFL record-setting debut season. All 3 newcomers earned All- Rookie honors from the PFWA while 7 players earned Pro Bowl berths- Adrian Peterson, Jerome Felton, Jared Allen, Chad Greenway and Walsh. Peterson and Walsh were 1st-Team All-Pro selections by the Associated Press while Felton and Greenway were 2nd-Team selections. The club started a team-record 5 rookies in the home game vs. Chicago when CB Josh Robinson (3rd round), TE Rhett Ellison (4th round) and WR Jarius Wright (4th round) joined Kalil and Smith in the starting lineup. In his 2 full seasons coaching the Vikings in 2011 and 2012 the team has been witness to some of the top record-setting performances in franchise and NFL history. Adrian Peterson s remarkable comeback from a severe knee injury at the end of 2011 to post one of the most epic rushing seasons in NFL history was a story that captured the attention of the country. Peterson s 2,097 yards rushing ranks 2nd in NFL history. His play on the field and humility off it was an inspiration. If not for Peterson s performance, Walsh s record-setting debut season would have been the story of the team. He broke the NFL record for 50-yard FGs by going 10-of-10 and booted a game winner in the 1st game of the season and in the final regular season game of the season to seal a playoff berth. Walsh s 141 points set a Vikings rookie record and ranks 2nd in NFL history by a rookie. Jared Allen had a record-setting 2011 with 22.0 sacks, setting a new team record and falling just shy of the NFL record of 22.5 en route to finishing runner-up in Associated Press NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors along with notching a sack in a team-record 13 games during the season. Frazier notched a 3-3 record on an interim basis in the final 6 games of 2010, including winning his opening contest at Washington and an upset win over eventual NFC East champion Philadelphia on the road. His steady and consistent personality and coaching style helped the Vikings prepare weekly under unprecedented circumstances in a harrowing three-week span. The team endured the collapse of the roof on their home stadium, forcing the club to play consecutive home games at Detroit s Ford Field against the NY Giants and at TCF Bank Stadium on the campus of the University of Minnesota against the Chicago Bears. Following the chaotic two weeks, the team experienced a two-day weather delay of a Sunday Night Football game at Philadelphia to Tuesday night, turning a routine road trip into a three-night extended stay. The Vikings 2010 defense ended the season ranked #8 in the NFL, the 3rd straight season the Vikings ranked in the top 10 in total defense for the first time since Offensively, the Vikings were stifled by injuries and started 3 QBs and centers during the season. The running game continued to excel as Pro Bowler Adrian Peterson notched 1,298 yards and 12 TDs. team was forced through injuries to turn to rookie QB Joe Webb to start the final 2 games of the season, winning his debut in an upset at Philadelphia. Frazier s defense led the NFL in 2009 with 48.0 sacks and the team ranks 5th in the NFL with sacks from The Vikings defense ranked #6 in the NFL in 2009, the 2nd straight season ranked #6 in total defense. The mark was the 1st time since the team ranked in the NFL s top 10 in consecutive seasons. The 2009 Vikings used a dynamic front line to continue their tradition of stopping the run and put pressure on opposing QBs. The unit ranked #2 in the NFL against the run after leading the league for the previous 3 seasons. The Vikings tied for the NFL lead by allowing only 5 rushing TDs. The NFL-best 48 sacks posted by the Vikings was the 5th-most in team history and Allen led the way with Allen and DT Kevin Williams were both recognized as Associated Press 1st Team All-Pros and were named to the Pro Bowl along with CB Antoine Winfield. Frazier s 2008 defensive unit ranked #6 overall in the NFL and #1 in the league against the run, making the Vikings the 1st squad since the 1970 AFL/ NFL merger to lead the league in rushing defense for 3 straight seasons. The Vikings #6 rank in total defense was the highest since the 1994 season. Of the teams ranked in the top 6 in the NFL, the other 5 had ranked in the NFL s top 10 in 2007 while the Vikings were #20 in 2007, making a 14-position improvement in The 2008 Vikings defense featured 4 players earning Pro Bowl berths, including 3 defensive linemen with Allen, DTs Kevin Williams and Pat Williams and rounded out with 10th-year CB Winfield earning his 1st Pro Bowl honors. The Vikings dominant line showed prowess as pass rushers as well as against the run. Allen tied for 5th in the NFL with 14.5 sacks and the team total of 45 ranked 4th in the NFL. The Vikings ranked 3rd in the NFL in 2008 by allowing only a 33.5% conversion rate on 3rd down and were 5th in the NFL by allowing 15.8 offensive points per game. In his debut season with the Vikings in 2007, the team maintained its dominance against the run, posting the #1 rush defense in the NFL and allowed a mere 3.1 yards per carry. The anchors of the Vikings defense, DTs Kevin Williams and Pat Williams, were joined by S Darren Sharper as Pro Bowl honorees, the most defensive Vikings to earn trips to Hawaii since Frazier s defense was opportunistic, scoring on 6 interception returns to tie a Vikings record and added a pair of TDs on fumble recoveries. The Vikings 6 scores by interception return ranks tied for 5th-most in a season in NFL history. The team scored on 3 interceptions in a key road game against the NY Giants to set a team record against the eventual Super Bowl XLII champions. The Vikings tied for 3rd in the NFL in 2007 by allowing only 7 rushing TDs and were 5th in the NFC in total offensive points allowed, an average of 17.8 points per game. The 2007 Vikings rush defense was the envy of the NFL, allowing 74.1 yards per game on the ground and allowed only 1 opponent RB to break the 100-yard mark. Frazier came to Minnesota after coaching DBs with Indianapolis and serving as Special Assistant to Head Coach Tony Dungy for 2 seasons. The 2006 Colts defense clamped down on opponents throughout the playoff run that brought the franchise its 1st Super Bowl title since Prior to his tenure with Indianapolis, Frazier served as defensive coordinator with Cincinnati in 2003 and 04 where he helped the Bengals go.500 in consecutive seasons for the 1st time in 12 seasons. Frazier s NFL coaching debut came from with Philadelphia where he worked with the Eagles DBs. Frazier helped CB Troy Vincent earn 4 Pro Bowl berths, S Brian Dawkins went to the game 3 times and Bobby Taylor appear in the all-star game once. The trio all earned Pro Bowl recognition in Frazier was part of an impressive program-building project in Philadelphia that saw the team improve from a 5-11 record in 1999 to 11-5 in 2000, 11-5 in 2001 and 12-4 in The team advanced to the playoffs in each of Frazier s final 3 seasons with the Eagles, including winning the NFC East in 2001 and 02 and advancing to the NFC Championship game in both seasons. As a player, Frazier was part of the legendary Chicago Bears defense that keyed the Super Bowl XX win over New England. He was a starter at CB on the 1985 Super Bowl team and played for the Bears from He led Chicago in interceptions in 1983, 84 and 85 but his career was cut short by a severe knee injury suffered in the Super Bowl. During his career he had 20 INTs in 65 games and returned a pair for TDs. Frazier was an All-America DB and baseball standout at Alcorn State University. In 2007, Frazier was inducted into the SWAC Hall of Fame and in 2012 he earned induction into the Alcorn State Hall of Fame. Frazier was born (4/3/59) in Columbus, MS and attended S.D. Lee High. Frazier and wife, Gale, have 3 children- Kieron, Chantel and Corey, who plays DB at Rice. He holds a degree in business administration and was active in Fellowship of Christian Athletes throughout his playing career.

WEEK 4 - STEELERS VS. VIKINGS

4 FROM HEAD COACH LESLIE FRAZIER MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2013 Vikings Head Coach Leslie Frazier Good morning. Definitely a different venue from where we usually are but it s a place I m very familiar with. Tough loss for us yesterday and watching the tape doesn t change that. Difficult for us in some ways but I saw some things in our players after the ball game and even with our coaches that give me some hope about how to improve our situation. From the injury standpoint, nothing really changed at this point from yesterday. A.J. Jefferson, Chris Cook, and Jamarca Sanford are all going to get their MRI s and we ll get an update as the day goes on. There may be some other guys that have some bumps and bruises that we ll have to deal with and report it at a later time. You know, looking back at yesterday and looking at some of the things that occurred in the ball game, there are so many moments when you play in a close ball game like we were yesterday, like we have been in the last couple of weeks and even in our first ball game, there s always a play here or there that has a chance to swing the game in your favor or to work against you. There were definitely opportunities yesterday to make some plays but we didn t and in our league, that s usually the result. Whether it be a four minute situation on offense or a two minute situation on defense, that we weren t able to get the job done. With that being said, I think the coaches and the players that we have on our team, they are going to work as hard as they can to get things corrected and I do believe that we will get it corrected. I trust the people that make up our football team and I kind of feel like we have an idea of what needs to happen. Easier said than done, but I truly believe it can be done. Q: With those injuries, are you worried about them missing Sunday? A: Not at this point, but it s kind of early so I ll have to wait to the end of the day to get some results back. Q: With an 0-3 start and a strange week going to London, does it make it tougher to make changes if you were going to make changes in the lineup or staff? A: I hadn t really thought about it as changes, just thinking about what we have to do to get in our team headed in the right direction. We can do whatever we need to do that is going to help us to win, in the United States or across the country, wherever that is we ll do what it takes to help our team win. Q: As a home team, do you have to come in early or is it up to you guys? A: No, as the home team you have different requirements than the visiting team. It s required for us to leave when we re leaving. No. We have to do what we re doing as the home team. Q: How much were you consulted, giving up a home game is a big deal? A: I understand the league and what we re trying to do as an organization and as players and coaches we re going to go and play and do the things that are necessary to try to get a win. That s really what s on our mind. The venue at this point is relevant, but in some ways it is irrelevant. Our focus is trying to help our team get things going in the right direction. Q: With the injuries, what was the thinking of putting Marcus Sherels or Jefferson in there instead of Xavier Rhodes? A: I wanted to leave Xavier where he was at this point because he s doing some good things out at the left corner spot. He s playing a lot and we re a nickel defense so much that we wanted to leave him where he is and keep our nickel package intact and that was the thinking. Q: Do you feel comfortable with him on the right side then if need be? A: We d have to give him a little work there. He s worked exclusively on the left side and you have to be careful about that with a young guy. Not that we couldn t do that, not that we may not do that, we ll explore all avenues depending on what happens with Chris Cook from a health standpoint, but we ll reevaluate it at some point today. Q: Do you feel like you have enough depth at cornerback? A: Depends on what happens with Chris (Cook) and how severe is A.J. s (Jefferson) ankle, I mean that puts you deep into your depth if those guys can t go for some reason so we ll have to see what happens with both of them. Q: When you watch your offense line on tape, can you put your finger on the what s going on with that group? A: We re not obviously executing as well as we need to in order to be successful down in and down out. We ve got two guys that are good at this point and then two other guys that aren t doing it the right way on the same play and we have to find a way to get five guys executing correctly on each and every play. You re going to have some moments where someone may miss a block or miss an assignment, but we ve got to get a little more consistent play. There are some things we have to look at in what we re doing and try to figure out how we can help our players be more consistent in what they re doing. Q: Has that been the biggest surprise for you with that unit? A: We need to play better up front. It s hard for our team to be successful if our offensive line and defensive line aren t playing at a high level and our guys know that and our team knows that and we have to help them get to that point. Q: Do you see any similarities to what happened last week? A: When we were in that situation yesterday, we had some opportunities to make some plays that would ve gotten us off the field or at least put them in some tough spots and we didn t. We would get to the third-and-10 and we like that from the defensive stand point and we don t make a play, the third-and-7, once again we had a chance but we got to make plays. They did a better job executing than we did and you have to make plays. Q: What were the things that you saw yesterday in the players and coaches that give you encouragement moving forward? A: That was a tough loss in so many ways. But just in talking to our guys after the game, and just seeing the resolve that they have shown, and that they showed at that moment; then going back and watching the tape, and seeing some of the things that I saw, and since talked with some of the guys since the ballgame, you want to be able to see the big picture in what we do. If you believe that you can get things fixed and get them turned around at this stage in the season, when we are still in September; now the next step is to get it done, and you can only get it done if guys believe mentally, as well as physically, that we can get it done. I sense that that is the case. I don t sense that guys are going to be walking around when we are in London as if the season is done. I don t sense that. I don t sense that at all. I sense that we have real good leadership, and they will handle this in the right way. Q: What do you see in Christian Ponder that makes you stick with him and believe that he is your best option to win? A: He made some plays for us yesterday that we needed. There were some other plays that we needed to make that we didn t always get. But he will have to keep growing and keep developing. We are doing enough things that are not right across the board that are affecting our win-loss record, and it is not just the quarterback position. He has to play better, but so do some other groups on our football team. I don t think that where we are is necessarily purely because of Christian Ponder. Q: Do you think have Jerome Felton back will help the running game? A: I think it will have a positive impact. He is a Pro Bowl player; really helped our run game a year ago quite a bit. So we look forward to having him back. Q: You basically split snaps between Desmond Bishop and Marvin Mitchell yesterday. Are you moving in that direction with those two players? A: We will see. You want to take a real good look at Desmond on tape, and get a better feel for where he is physically, as well as his grasp of what we are trying to do on defense. He did some good things yesterday, so we will continue that evaluation process. Q: What is the biggest challenge in making this trip to London, other than the Pittsburgh Steelers? A: The preparation that is involved behind the scenes. There is a lot to it when you are the home team. That probably has been the biggest challenge, all of the WEEK 4 - STEELERS VS. VIKINGS

5 FROM HEAD COACH LESLIE FRAZIER things that go into it when you are on the home team. Q: Do you ever seek advice from other coaches who have played games overseas? A: I did. I talked with other coaches around the league who have traveled and have been the home team. I tried to get some advice, and how did they do things when they were there. I talked with coaches a few different times over the summer as we were trying to plan for this trip. Q: What was the best piece of advice that you got? A: There were a number of things. Probably trying to make it as close to what you do at your facility as possible. That is going to be a challenge in that way because you are in a different environment; staying in a hotel instead of being at home for the players. But trying to as best as you can, when you are the home team, to simulate what you do schedule wise there, compared to here, which it will have some challenges. But we are going to try and keep some normalcy to what we do. Q: With the late lapses on defense, do you give any thought to changing your involvement with the defense late in games since it has happened two weeks in a row? A: We didn t have any lapses yesterday in that ballgame. We didn t execute as well. We were where we are supposed to be, but we didn t make the plays when opportunities came. So as a coach you can only do so much. You have to make the call, and you guys have to be able to execute it, and vice versa. Give your guys the best chance to be successful. Then they have to be able to go out and execute it. So we just have to execute better across the board. Q: You guys are doing a great job of creating turnovers, but is it for not since you are also giving the ball up a lot as well? A: That is a great point. That will be one of the points I mention to our team this afternoon when we meet. For us to come away four takeaways back to back weeks and not win the game; that doesn t happen very often. But it happens when you are giving the ball back and not playing as well on special teams and it is part of why we are where we are. It is part of why our games are coming down to one series. That is something that has to be corrected; otherwise we will be right back at this spot again. You can t turn the ball over at the rate we are turning it over and expect to win, unless, and I have said this before, you are so superior than your opponent, and we are not. Q: Are your cornerbacks being addressed for not going after the ball and allowing the receivers to catch it and then trying to make the tackle? A: No. We don t get those turnovers yesterday by laying back. Harrison Smith wasn t laying back when he got his interception. No, they are not being tentative in their approach. I think our defense had seven series in a row where we got off the field with no points. We have some things that we can do better. We have to hone in on those right now and I think we will. Q: How discouraging is it to see Chris Cook get hurt after three plays with all of the talk about keeping him healthy this offseason? A: He is a guy that we need on the field. He knows it. But if you are injured, you re injured. You just have to get someone else ready to go. Q: How is Kevin Williams doing with his knee injury that he suffered against San Francisco? A: He has been playing and has not complained about it at all. He has been practicing and played two games, and hasn t showed any ill effects from it. Q: At what point do you have to consider making changes or is it too early in the season to do anything drastic? A: You only want to make changes if there is a problem in an area where you feel that you have a better solution. I don t know if change for the sake of change is the right thing to do from my perspective. You have to be able to stand in front of those guys in the locker room and talk to them about why you are making a change, and that it has to be something that you feel is going to help your football team be successful. So change for changes sake; I don t totally buy into that. Q: You ever use change to rally the troops and give them something fresh to work with? A: Yes. There are a lot of different things that you can do other than personnel to change things up a little bit. You take that approach at times. But when you make those changes, you want to have a reason why you are doing it. WEEK 4 - STEELERS VS. VIKINGS
