Legendary Vikings center Mick Tingelhoff is getting plenty of coaching as he prepares for his August induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Vikings hall of famers Randall McDaniel, Ron Yary and Paul Krause -- the latter two former teammates -- all have called to offer advice. McDaniel and his wife, Marianne, went to dinner earlier this month with Tingelhoff and his wife, Phyllis, to go over strategy.
"When Mick got into the Hall (following a January vote), we sent them an email saying that 'if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask,' " said McDaniel, a 2009 inductee after starring at guard for Minnesota from 1988-99.
