3 HEAD COACH LESLIE FRAZIER HEAD COACH LESLIE FRAZIER NFL Head Coach: 2nd Year Overall NFL Experience: 20th Year Coaching Experience: 25th Year Overall NFL Record: (.366) Regular Season: (.366) Postseason: 0-0 (.000) Record with MIN: (.366) Leslie Frazier begins his 2nd full season as Head Coach of the Vikings in 2012 with a core of young talent in place and a team motivated for success. 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. Frazier marks his 14th season as an NFL coach in 2012 and has another 11 years of collegiate coaching experience. In his 13 seasons as an NFL coach, Frazier has coached on 7 playoff teams and been a part of 6 division championships. Entering 2012, the Vikings have added talent and improved the depth on the roster. The club selected T Matt Kalil with the #4 pick in the Draft and traded up to select S Harrison Smith at #29, giving the club a rare pair of 1st-rounders and took CB Josh Robinson with their 3rd-round choice. Kalil is the Vikings highest draft pick since Hall of Famer Chris Doleman at #4 in 1985 and the 2ndhighest offensive lineman drafted in team history behind Hall of Famer Ron Yary at #1 in Smith is only the 3rd DB selected in the 1st round in Vikings history. Key free agent pickups TE John Carlson and WR Jerome Simpson give the club more offensive firepower. Since taking over as Head Coach for the final 6 games of the 2010 season Frazier has had to contend with injuries to marquee players and a QB position that was in flux before 1st-rounder Christian Ponder took control of the job. The Vikings of 2011 flashed the talent that is in place on the roster but struggled with inconsistency and injuries during a 3-13 campaign. Individually, DE Jared Allen came close to NFL history with a 22.0-sack season, breaking the Vikings record and coming within reach of the NFL s single-season mark. Allen was recognized with an Associated Press 1st-Team All-Pro nod and a starter s job in the Pro Bowl. He was joined at the Pro Bowl by LB Chad Greenway, who marked the 3rd of the past 4 Vikings 1st-round draft picks to earn Pro Bowl honors. Offensively, Percy Harvin showed his dynamic playmaking ability as he set Vikings records for rushing yards by a WR, returned his Vikings-record 4th career kickoff for a TD and set career-highs for receiving. Rookie TE Kyle Rudolph earned All-Rookie with his 3 TDs in the 2nd half of the season and gave a glimpse into the future with his receiving skill Season Frazier, who originally joined the Vikings in 2007 as Defensive Coordinator and added Assistant Head Coach to his title in 2008, notched a 3-3 record on an interim basis, including a 2-1 mark on the road after the team had lost nine consecutive away games. His steady and consistent personality and coaching style helped the Vikings prepare under unprecedented circumstances over the final four weeks of the season. In that time the Vikings were forced to play home games at Detroit s Ford Field and the University of Minnesota s TCF Bank Stadium following the roof collapse at Mall of America Field at the Metrodome in early December. Following the chaotic two weeks, the team experienced a two-day delay of a Sunday Night Football game at Philadelphia, playing a Tuesday night game instead and turning a routine road trip into a three-night extended stay. The Vikings 2010 defense ended the season ranked #8 in the NFL, the third consecutive season the Vikings ranked in the top 10 in total defense for the first time since The unit scored touchdowns on turnovers in the final two games of the season on a fumble return and an interception return. Vikings DE Jared Allen led the team with 11.0 sacks and anchored a defensive line that allowed only 10 rushing TDs. Fellow defensive lineman DT Kevin Williams notched his sixth career Pro Bowl appearance, while LB Chad Greenway led the team for the second straight year with 149 tackles. Offensively, the Vikings were stifled by injuries and started three quarterbacks during the season. RB Adrian Peterson continued to excel, gaining 1,298 yards on the ground and scoring 12 rushing TDs. His 1,298 yards rank as the 5th-highest total in team history, giving Peterson four of the top five yardage totals in Vikings annals. Peterson s 12 rushing TDs were tied as the 4th-most in the NFL, and his 52 career rushing TDs are now tied for the most in Vikings history. Peterson was honored with his fourth straight Pro Bowl appearance. Prior to being named Interim Head Coach, Frazier served as the Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator for the team beginning in He played a key role in the team s consecutive NFC North titles and the most wins in the NFC over the 2008 and 2009 seasons (22). Frazier s defensive units have ranked in the top 10 in each of the last three seasons (#6 in 2008, #6 in 2009, #8 in 2010) while notching 162 sacks from , the 5th-most of any NFL team during that time. Under Frazier, the Vikings defense allowed the 2nd-fewest rushing yards per game (85.1 avg.) and the 9th-fewest points per game (20.4 avg.) in the NFL over the last four years. With the unique perspective of a Super Bowl winner as a player and a coach, Frazier has a proven track record of success. His first title came as a starting cornerback with the 1985 Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XX and he later won Super Bowl XLI as a defensive backs coach with the Indianapolis Colts. In his 12 seasons as an NFL coach, and with 11 years of collegiate experience prior to that, Frazier has suffered a losing season only twice - his first year with Philadelphia in 1999 and the Vikings 2010 season. He has coached on seven playoff teams in his 12 NFL seasons and has been a part of six division championships. Frazier has also helped his players achieve at a high level and has now had four players earn NFC Defensive of the Week honors in the past four seasons. He has coached five players to 10 Pro Bowl appearances since joining the Vikings Season In 2009, the Vikings used a dynamic front line to continue their tradition of stopping the run and putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks. The unit ranked #2 in the NFL against the run after leading the league for the previous three seasons. The Vikings tied for the NFL lead by allowing only five rushing touchdowns, and the team s NFL-best 48 sacks were the 5th-most in team history. DE Jared Allen led the way with 14.5 sacks and was recognized - along with fellow defensive lineman DT Kevin Williams - as an Associated Press First Team All-Pro. Allen, Williams and CB Antoine Winfield were all named to the 2010 Pro Bowl Season The previous year, Frazier s unit ranked #6 in overall defense and #1 against the run, making the Vikings the first squad since the 1970 AFL/NFL merger to lead the league in rushing defense for three consecutive seasons ( ). The team s #6 rank in total defense was the highest since the 1994 seasons and was a 14-position swing from the #20 ranking in The dominant defensive line also showed prowess as pass rushers, with Allen tying for 5th in the NFL with 14.5 sacks and the team total of 45 sacks ranking 4th. The Vikings ranked 3rd in the NFL by allowing only a 33.5% conversion rate on third downs and were 5th in the NFL by allowing just 15.8 offensive points per game. The 2008 squad featured four Pro Bowl players, including three defensive linemen with Jared Allen, Kevin Williams and DT Pat Williams. CB Antoine Winfield also earned his first trip to the all-star game Season In his debut season with the Vikings in 07, Frazier helped the Vikings maintain their dominance against the run as they posted the #1 rush defense in the NFL for the second straight year, allowing a mere 3.1 yards per carry. The unit gave up just 74.1 yards per game on the ground and allowed only one opposing running back to break the 100-yard mark. Frazier s defense was opportunistic, scoring on six interception returns to tie a Vikings record and adding a pair of TDs on fumble recoveries. The Vikings six scores by interception returns ranked as the 5th-most in NFL history. The team scored on three INTs in a key road game against the N.Y. Giants to set a team record against the eventual Super Bowl XLII champions. The Vikings defense responded to new faces and new positions with impressive performances in THe team was led in tackles by E.J. Henderson s careerhigh 155 tackles in his first season playing middle linebacker since Henderson added career-bests in sacks (4.5) and tackles for a loss (14). The Vikings linebacking crew entered 2007 with only Ben Leber playing his same position from the previous year. One of the most impressive individual performances came from 2nd-year LB Chad Greenway, who missed his 2006 rookie season with a knee injury but came back in 07 to rank 2nd on the team with 130 tackles, lead the NFL with four fumble recoveries and have a pair of interceptions, including one that he returned for his first career TD.

4 FROM THE HEAD COACH MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2012 Vikings Head Coach Leslie Frazier We had a good extra practice today. Guys are anxious to get started on the second half of the season, this being the third quarter of our season. It just seems like from the meeting today, guys are anxious to get moving on this Seattle game plan, which we ll enter on Wednesday when we come back. Injury-wise, the only guy who didn t participate who we re hoping to eventually get back is John Carlson, everyone else participated. John hasn t been cleared yet, hopefully we ll hear some good news when we come back for Wednesday s practice but we ll wait and see. I think to a man, the guys are looking forward to getting started on our next opponent. Q: Where was Michael Jenkins? A: Michael had a personal situation that had to be taken care of. He ll be back for Wednesday s practice. Q: What was your goal with this extra practice? A: As a staff, we went back and looked at some things we were trying to do, on Friday and Saturday, that we felt like we needed to improve on. So we wanted to go through some fundamentals today, hit some techniques that we think we need to improve on and if we can improve on some of those things we think we ll be a better team in this second half. We just kind of went back to some of the fundamentals of what we do in certain areas and try to get that done today with a good Vikings verses Vikings practice. Just hitting some of the basics of what we ve been doing. Q: Was it helpful to have a couple extra days after a game like you had on Thursday? A: I would think so. Just to be able to clear your mind and get started on the second half of the season. This break comes at a good time for us. You really feel like it s a clean slate and you re starting it new. I think that s a good thing from a mental standpoint. Q: Did Chris Cook have his surgery already? A: He did. He had his surgery and it was successful. Nothing different than what we talked about a few days ago, probably six to eight weeks until we get him back and the good news is we do have a chance of getting him back. Q: Are you going to make a move to fill that spot sometime before Sunday? A: We probably will, probably will. Q: Do you know what direction you re going to go? A: Not yet. Q: Four days removed since that loss, do you see anything differently when you get some distance from it to gauge what went wrong? A: We ve moved on. We ve moved on to Seattle. That is the most important thing right now and that s what I told our team. That s where our focus and energy has to be. They can t look back, we have to look forward and forward for us means Seattle. Q: Going into the third quarter, did you address how the schedule gets a little tougher? A: I didn t. I really concentrated on our preparation when we get back on Wednesday for Seattle. I talked about the fact that we are entering the third quarter of the season, how important it is in November to set up December, but I didn t get into games other than the game that we have coming up. Q: After the losses, people have talked a lot about how the guys have responded. How have you seen them respond here? A: Based on today, I would say they came back in a good frame of mind and we ll learn more as the week goes on. Wednesday will probably be a good tell tale, but it seemed like today, having this weekend to kind of get away from things probably helped. Q: Will Josh Robinson be the guy who steps in for Chris Cook? A: We re going to talk about it before the game and we ll make a decision as the week goes on, what s the best thing to do. Q: A.J. Jefferson hasn t had a lot of snaps but it seems like he s held up pretty well. A: He s done a good job for us. We ve been pleased with A.J. s performance on special teams as well as what he s done in the snaps that he s gotten on defense. He s done a good job. Q: How much do you think Chris Cook s loss is going to hurt you when facing big receivers? A: Chris was really coming along, he was playing good football for us, but in this business we all know injuries occur and I think our depth is better than it has been in years past. I think we ll be able to hold up better than we have in the past. It just gives other guys opportunities to step up and play more. Q: Will Mistral Raymond be available Sunday? A: It looks that way. We need to get him through an entire week of practice, we re going to give him a little bit more this week and then we ll make a decision later in the week. All indications are he s improved enough where he can go through everything in practice, but he still hasn t done that. Q: Would that be a situation where you probably look to get him back in slowly instead of starting him immediately if he s ready to go Sunday? A: Yeah he s missed a bunch of time so we have to see him go through some things with his teammates before we put him out there for sure. Q: What have you seen out of Jarius Wright lately? A: I like the things Jarius is doing. Some of the things we did today in practice he got a lot of reps. He s kept his head in it as far as what we re doing on offense, he s working hard on special teams, he s still improving as a punt returner. I think he s about where we need him to be. We feel like when the time comes for him to step in, he ll be able to do a good job for us.

5 FROM THE HEAD COACH Q: What s left for him show you to get that chance? A: I think he has to continue to improve and keep working hard like he s doing in practice. I don t know if there s anything more that he has to do, but he s improving. He s come a long ways. Q: What do you hope to see from Mistral Raymond throughout the week to convince you he s ready? A: When we put him through the paces and what we re doing with seven-on-seven, team, individual work, group, whatever we re doing, just to see how he responds on Thursday after a Wednesday practice and then Friday after a Thursday practice because it will be much more intense for him than it has been as we integrate him into everything that we re doing. So, just to see how he responds to everything that we put him through. Q: What do you look at more, the mental aspect or physically how his ankle is holding up? A: Both. We need to see how he responds to some of the things that we re doing. We ve got a few changes in what we re doing from earlier in the season when he was starting, but he shouldn t have a problem picking up some of those little nuances, but we also have to see how he s doing physically, as well. How he plants, how he cuts and how he responds the day after one of those practices. Q: What s your level of concern with the run defense? A: I m concerned. We have to sure up our run game and the running back we re facing on Sunday, in my mind, he s one of the best in our business so we better get our run game fixed in a hurry. Q: What s been missing the last few weeks? A: We were not gap sound in our last ball game. We missed some tackles, as well and things that you re not going to play good run defense if guys aren t where they re supposed to be, especially if you re trying to get into eight-man fronts and we had some situations even in eight-man fronts, we weren t where we needed to be. One of the things today that we did was we did a review on some of our run fits, whether it was seven-man fronts or eight-man fronts, just to make sure we all understand where we have to be and where we have to fit up runs. We have to improve in that area. Q: Did something change schematically that guys are having a hard time picking up or has it just been a letdown from where they were previously? A: We haven t changed our run fits in a long, long time. We didn t execute as well as we needed to and it cost us. We have to get it fixed and we will. Q: What message are you giving the guys heading into the third quarter of the season? A: It s really a new season for us. It s the second half of the season, this is a break point for us and we have to approach it the right way. This first game is like coming out of a half and that s what I ve talked to our team about. You want to start off the second half of the ball game the right way, whether you re receiving a kick or kicking it off, or whether you re going out on offense or defense and that s how we have to approach this game with Seattle. We want to start it off right and there are some things that we have to do in order for that to happen, we ll get into that on Wednesday, but that s how we re looking at it. We want to start this second half the right way. Q: You have made the Tyler Holmes, Ernest Owusu switch a few times now. What are you looking for when you re making those switches on a weekly basis? A: Sometimes it s based on where we are injury-wise or different things we re looking at on our roster so there are a few different factors. Q: They seem like they re having fun with it and staying with it mentally. A: Yeah, both guys are doing a good job. When they re out here practicing, they re doing a good job. Q: What did you personally do with a free Sunday yesterday? A: Tried to stay away from football on a Sunday.

6 VIKINGS-SEAHAWKS GAME INFORMATION CARROLL LEADS THE FLOCK NFL Head Coach: 7th Year Overall NFL Experience: 19th Year Coaching Experience: 38th Year Overall NFL Record: Regular Season: Postseason: 2-3 Record with SEA: Record vs. MIN: 1-1 College: Pacific 73 Named head coach on January 11, 2010, Pete Carroll became the eighth head coach in Seahawks history after one of the most successful runs in USC history in the college ranks. He brings 18 years of NFL experience and 19 years of collegiate experience to Seattle. His 2011 squad ranked as one of the youngest in the NFL; beginning the season with the second-youngest roster in Week 1, once having the third-youngest offensive line during the season and ending the year with the second- youngest starting defensive unit in the league. He saw his defense improve weekly, ending the season ranked ninth in the league in total defense, just the sixth time Seattle has boasted a top-10 defense and first since His offense switched gears from a quick-strike no-huddle group to a grind-it-out ground game led by Marshawn Lynch over the last-half of the season. That offensive mentality helped Seattle ranked fifth in the NFL with 1,212 rush yards over the last nine games of the season. Working with General Manager John Schneider, the two have kept this talented nucleus intact this offseason with the re-signing of Lynch, fullback Michael Robinson and defensive end Red Bryant. Helping the cause is that the two have drafted seven starters with a combined 11 draft picks from their first two drafts in Rounds 1-5. Always competing, the Seahawks jumped out to a 4-2 record to begin the 2010 season and parlay that in to the club s fifth NFC West title in the last seven seasons. He also led Seattle to the NFC Divisional Playoff round for the fourth time in the last six years, after defeating the defending Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints at CenturyLink Field in the Wild Card Game. It was Seattle s fifth playoff win in a row at CenturyLink Field. He returned to the NFL after spending nine years ( ) as head coach at USC, where he won seven consecutive Pac-10 titles ( ), two national championships ( ) and led the Trojans to a record. He reached a bowl in each of his nine seasons and won seven. His 88 victories from 2001 to 2008 tied Bob Pruett of Marshall for most by a Division I coach in their first eight seasons since 1900 (Penn s George Woodruff - 102). Carroll was named USC s head football coach on December 15, 2000, and in his first season, led the Trojans to the Las Vegas Bowl and a 6-6 record. He began his NFL career as defensive backs coach for Buffalo (1984) and Minnesota ( ) before becoming the New York Jets defensive coordinator ( ) and head coach (1994). He spent two years as San Francisco s defensive coordinator ( ), leading the league in total defense in 1995, before leading New England to a record and two playoff appearances as head coach ( ). Carroll spent the 2000 season as a consultant for pro and college teams, doing charitable work for the NFL and writing a column on pro football for CNNSI.com. He began his coaching career at the collegiate level, serving as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Pacific, for three years ( ), working with the wide receivers and secondary. He then spent a season as a graduate assistant working with the secondary at Arkansas (1977) under Lou Holtz as the Razorbacks won the 1978 Orange Bowl, and then a season each as an assistant in charge of the secondary at Iowa State (1978) and at Ohio State (1979). He next spent three seasons ( ) as the defensive coordinator and secondary coach at North Carolina State, before returning to Pacific in 1983 as the assistant head coach and offensive coordinator. Carroll was a two-time ( ) All-Pacific Coast Conference free safety at Pacific and earned his bachelor s degree in 1973 in business administration. He received his secondary teaching credential and a master s degree in physical education from Pacific in He was inducted into the Pacific Athletic Hall of Fame in He was a three-sport (football, basketball and baseball) standout at Redwood High in Larkspur, Calif., earning the school s Athlete of the Year award as a senior. He played quarterback, wide receiver and defensive back. He was inducted into the inaugural Redwood High Athletic Hall of Fame in He then played football at Marin Junior College in Kentfield, Calif., from before transferring to Pacific. Carroll was born on September 15, 1951, in San Francisco. He and his wife, Glena, who played volleyball at Pacific, have three children, sons Brennan (married to Amber), who played tight end at Delaware and Pittsburgh, Nate, and daughter Jaime (married to Mike), who played on the Women of Troy s volleyball team that competed in the 2000 NCAA Final Four.
