Well, the nfl.com report on this noted that "Prior to his Miami stint, Ireland was a respected scout with the Chiefs and vice president of college and pro scouting with the Cowboys." So, maybe he's just bad at the GM gig, respected otherwise. JS is the one who brought him in, so we gotta trust him.
Did anyone read the first comment on PFT?: "Brilliant strategy by the Seahawks. Put him in a separate room, let him study, come in and ask him what he would do– then do the exact opposite."
Whoa, read the rest of the comments. There's a lot of hate towards the Hawks and fans. Figures, though. Packers, Vikings, etc. They all mad. They're gonna be upset for a long time. Seahawks... Dynasty Team of the 21st Century!
