I would be less than amazed. The Wilfs have contributed significantly to this Thread.

How much of that do you think is directly their fault? They spend to the salary cap, keep excellent facilities and don't meddle. That's all you really want from an owner.

They have to hire the right GM/Coach, but you can't really call Spielman/Zimmer a failure and Kwesi/KOC is TBD. At worst, they might have given Zimmer/Speilman a year or two longer than they should have.

They are ultimately the ones in charge, so all 20 seasons and counting.

I wouldn't call Spielman/Zimmer a failure either, but it was also not a success. In hindsight, your right, it lasted too long.

Spending money to the salary cap while making 10s of millions and annually and increasing the value of the franchise by 10X, sorry no props in my book for that.

Since Red sold the franchise to the Wilfs, these are the teams that have won the NFC Championship:

Seahawks
49ers
Rams
Cardinals
Packers
Bears
Saints
Falcons
Buccaneers
Panthers
Eagles
Giants

The Vikings are with the Cowboys, Lions & Commanders in that dubious distinction.

I would be less than amazed should the Wilfs add the Twins to their portfolio.

In NFL which is designed for much more for parity they have failed in their Championship pursuit.

It's been 34 years and running for the Pohlad family since 1991. Personally, I'd take my chances with the Wilfs.

We can question their ability to identify great GM candidates, but as Owners go, they represent every other quality you could hope for as a fan.

Being less than amazed by the Wilfs as prospective owners does not equate to me advocating that the Pohlads hang on.

Also, there are other qualities about the Wilfs (besides not being able to put together a management structure able to at least win the NFC) that I am not happy with either, but I won't go into that here.
