Omg. Wasnt he the one that allowed the coaches to run the wildcat as their mainstay?

He was so awesome(not) the team begged Dan Marino to come in for a VP job?

Good lord. The Panthers are going to be like the Patriots and Colts. NfC South Champs guaranteed for 10 years with this aweful division.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Ireland also the guy in charge when they had the bullying scandal?

Maybe he could help bring Richie incognito to New Orleans.

they alread have good guards like Incognito. hope we get a player like him at OT.

Ireland (Class of '91 Baylor grad) was with the Seahawks last year as Draft Consultant. Before that was hired by Bill Parcells to be his GM at Miami, and before that he was the Cowboys V.P. of College & Pro Scouting (Bill Parcells was Cowboys head coach at the time). Saints are hiring him to do college scouting.

His 1st R picks at MIA (Bill Parcells was Executive VP 2008-2010)

2008 OT Jake Long #1 -- 4x Pro Bowl (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011)

2009 CB Vontae Davis #25 -- 1x Pro Bowl (2014)

2010 DT Jared Odrick #28

2011 C Mike Pouncey #15 -- 2x Pro Bowl (2013 , 2014)

2012 QB Ryan Tannehill #8

2013 DE Dion Jordan #3

Palm Beach Post in Oct 2014:

"Defensive end Cameron Wake (4x Pro Bowl: 2010 , 2012 , 2013 , 2014), who played in the Canadian Football League before signing with Miami in 2009, is a rare long-term success story from the Parcells era. While it’s been speculated that Ireland discovered Wake and that Parcells persuaded him to join the Dolphins and reject several other NFL offers, Parcells takes all the credit for finding him.

...

A few months after Parcells’ departure, Ireland joined Ross on an ill-fated trip to California to try to persuade Jim Harbaugh to become coach, although Tony Sparano still held the job. Parcells had brought both Sparano and Ireland to Miami after the three worked together with the Cowboys.

Because of the faux pas, Parcells said he cut off communication with Ireland, his protege.

After Harbaugh rejected Miami and became the San Francisco 49ers coach, Sparano was re-signed. That led to an awkward, damage-control news conference with Ross, Ireland and Sparano"

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
