This is a really long article but when I scanned it and got to Ireland....:crazy:


Mark Dominik, ESPN analyst: Was a Buccaneers lifer before being shown the door at the end of last season, so Dominik was part of a championship group early on, and built a team that still has young talent. His downfall as GM in Tampa Bay was striking out on his first draft pick -- quarterback Josh Freeman -- which seriously set the franchise back.
Tom Heckert, director of pro personnel, Denver Broncos: Something of a victim of circumstance in Cleveland, Heckert built the foundation for a contending Browns team -- and he sparkled as an evaluator prior to that in Philly. In Denver, the team's success in free agency says plenty about Heckert. He did have a DUI arrest in 2013.
Jeff Ireland, consultant: Last year, CBS Dallas did a study, based on games played and starts, that ranked Miami as the NFL's top drafting team from 2009 to '13. And Ireland drafted Ryan Tannehill between Robert Griffin III and Brandon Weeden during that run. He wasn't perfect, but he was better than you think.

Interesting list.

Heckert deserves another chance.

Tannenbaum is already here in a sense...match him with Rex?

Tom Gamble is would be outstanding.

Jeff Ireland does not belong there.
 
"based on games played and starts"

So the fact that we had ho-hum guys like Daniel Thomas, Nolan Carroll, and Chris Clemons starting every game... a good job by Ireland?

Yea, except he's not. He's a full time player agent. He was contracted earlier this year by Miami to be a consultant for the implementation of a sports metric system. That's pretty much it.

Leave Hickey alone, he is doing fine.

I like Hickey's work, but if Philbin is canned they need to start anew. Hickey is not so valuable that he cannot be replaced.

You know he has been plenty of games with other executives?

I thought the same thing, what a bunch of BS.

We hired a GM not even 11 months ago and Tannenbaum wasn't even considered. Dont be naive.

And Aponte knows a lot of GMs. She taught a salary cap symposium at University of Pennsylvania and lots of NFL GMs attended, including our very own Dennis Hickey when he was with Tampa Bay.

Who do you think she worked under in New York?

Dennis Hickey worked under Mark Dominik. I guess he's going to be our next executive too :rolleyes2:

Seriously, every executive in the NFL is connected to other executives in some way.
 
Ireland was NOT a good general manager. I think that as we move away from his tenure, that is even MORE obvious now. I pity the team that gets saddled with him.
