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"

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
