Commends and congratulates Coach Leslie Frazier, a native of Columbus, Mississippi, upon his promotion to Head Coach of the Minnesota Vikings.

Recognizes Frazier as the eighth head coach in Vikings franchise history and notes his previous role as Assistant Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator.

Acknowledges Frazier's mid-season leadership in 2010 when he took over after Brad Childress was fired, leading the team to a 3-3 record despite significant challenges including the Metrodome collapse and Brett Favre's injury.

Highlights Frazier's professional football background, including his time as an assistant coach under Tony Duggy (2005-2007) and his playing career as a cornerback for the Chicago Bears (1981-1986), where he won Super Bowl XX in 1985.

Directs that copies of the resolution be provided to Coach Frazier and members of the Capitol Press Corps.
