Brad Childress was head coach of the Vikings during some good years, like when Brett Favre first came to the team.
Favre was always wishy-washy when it came to retiring, announcing one thing, contradicting himself later on.
Childress showed he had that in common with Favre in 2018, after he retired after working as an assistant coach for the Chiefs. Childress then came out of retirement to join the Chicago Bears as an offensive consultant later that year.
Following that, he became head coach of the Atlanta Legends of the AAF, but he quit that gig, only to come out of retirement to be the Bears senior offensive assistant.
But now, he has told Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press that it’s for real this time. He’s done.
“People say, ‘Is he really retired? Is he really, really retired?’ ” Childress told the Pioneer Press. “Yeah. Last year was my last year. I just felt like it was time to move on.”
Childress said he has put his toe in retirement, but pretty soon, he has to jump in.
“It’s more about spending time with my family and grandkids and that type of thing.”
