That seems like a serious demotion.

But I'll take it.

not really, its an upgrade from a draft consultant... its really his area of "expertise" is scouting departments. It'll be a good opportunity to rebuild his image.

Dallas Cowboys

Ireland was a national talent-scout for the Dallas Cowboys from 2001 to 2005. During this period, the team drafted four future-Pro Bowl selections: safety Roy Williams; offensive lineman Andre Gurode; cornerback Terence Newman; and tight end Jason Witten. In 2005, Ireland was promoted to Vice President of College and Pro Scouting.

In what would be Ireland's final season with the Cowboys (in 2007), the Cowboys went 13-3 and won the NFC East Division Championship. At the time of his departure in January 2008, 38 of the team's 53 players were acquired over the past three years, including 12 of 22 starters.



shite started going downhill after the Miami Dolphins promoted him to GM

But that franchise has been known to frick up people royally

Wikipedia says: "On April 26, 2014 the Seattle Seahawks announced they had hired Jeff Ireland to work as a consultant for the 2014 NFL Draft, the Seahawks also announced that a possible long term deal would be negotiated after the draft. Ireland's tenure with the Seattle Seahawks, however, was short-lived as the team decided to move on without him after only one month."

Interesting.

Just made me wonder, what is Soprano doing now? Figured Payton would try to bring him in for a line coach.
