Far be it from the Saints to hire douchebags...

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"

    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
    • He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
