Oddly enough after he just had a thread on here, he is getting picked up by the Saints.

He's a guy who should be employed, and probably should be getting another shot at a GM job if he can learn from his mistakes.
The guy had no problem identifying talent, his problem was largely roster management.DPlus47 likes this. -
Yeah thats his forte......he will do well there.

Ireland....Like a Boss.

Especially true when you have Jeff Ireland's, let's say colorful history and foibles. -

I think it's bill Polian (and I'm not sure if he was fired by Carolina or he quit to go to the Colts). And he had actually accomplished incredible things.
Ireland accomplished nothing. -

One.
And I'm still not sure how that happened or how he's kept that Vikings job as long as he has.shamegame13 likes this. -
I could be wrong, but I think the only decision-maker in the league on his second shot right now is Scot McCloughan, and his issues were personnel, not professional.
Ireland probably won't get a second shot, but I think there's pretty good grounds for it. -

Well color me surprised. Let's see how long he lasts. Both he and Payton are Parcells guys so maybe it'll work.

I've heard Jeff Ireland is already looking into the possibility that Drew Brees' mother is a working girl.

But what happened to him never getting a job in the NFL again?

Not sure Jeff Ireland finishes in the top 5 of our 2015 Phins.com GML.

Point is it's rare. We've come up with 2 sort of recent examples and one guy just lost that job and the other is still employed beyond all reason and logic. -
Are you TooGoodForDez in disguise? Is this a new off season performance art project? -
INTELLIGENCE?! -
His 2nd round picks were his downfall, IMHO. -
1. Trading Vontae Davis
2. Drafting Johnathan Martin in 2nd Round
3. Asking Dez Bryant if his mom was a 'Lady of the Night' -

Per Alex Marvez, he spoke to El Jeffe who told him he has not been hired by the Saints but interviewed there and hopes to get the job.
So, not back in the league just yet -
