New Leadership With one game left in the season and the Vikings struggling to a 5-10 record, Dennis Green accepts a buyout of the last two years of his contract. Offensive line coach Mike Tice was appointed interim head coach for the team's last game of the season against the Ravens. Minnesota lost that game 19-3 to finish the year 5-11, but Tice was named the head coach a little under a week later, signing a three-year deal.
