Since May, 2005 when the Wilf family took ownership of the Minnesota Vikings from Red McCombs, the organization has taken a giant leap forward in terms of how the front office operates. In 2006, after Fran Foley’s short-lived tenure with the team, Rick Spielman was hired as the Vikings’ Vice President of Player Personnel, as the team had begun a period in which they operated under the now infamous “Triangle of Authority”. Joining Spielman as one third of the TOA were Head Coach Brad Childress, and Vice President of Football Operations, Rob Brzezinski. The team operated under this structure until 2012, when they ditched the concept of the TOA, and Spielman was elevated to the position of General Manager.
