Cardinals Hire Titans' Monti Ossenfort as New GM

[NittanyCard]

So came from a franchise that thought Ryan Tannehill is the QB to start multiple years and trading away AJ Brown was a smart idea. Great

 

[Redsz]

Great hire from my perspective. A lot of experience with franchises that have been successful for a long time.

However - what is up with MB hiring bald guys lol?

 

[BirdGangThing]

If we hire Brian Flores as HC you can forget about us trading back

 

[Proteus]

Ugh. Why are we hiring someone for our Gm from a team with a crappy front office?

 

[BullheadCardFan]

He declined interviewing with us - most people believe he is getting the 49ers GM job very soon.

Thanks for the information

I may have read that somewhere on the board and forgot

 

[football karma]

looking forward to Monti trading a draft pick to the Raiders for Josh McDaniels.......

****ducks***

Regarding the tweet about Quentin Harris being a candidate in AZ and Tennessee... I'm actually glad it was him and not AW in the running.

However, it would be peak Cardinals to hire the Titans guy and the Titans to hire Harris, only to have Harris have the long-term great career and Ossenfort basically be Keim 2.0.

Most of his career with the patriots who have shown everyone that leaves that franchise is terrible at their next job. Love it.

Like my candidate, Cunningham, Ossenfort is a scouting veteran. He worked with Belichick and Charley Casserly, two of the best in the business. A former small college QB, he’s lived the game his entire adult life. He is extremely well qualified and should give the Cards the depth of personnel knowledge they have seemed to lack. He’s been successful at identifying impact players even late in the draft. He‘s got a great pool to start with so this could be fun. I quickly asked around and the pros are calling this a solid hire.

Like hearing this from Harry

I'm holding my excitement back because we've been disappointed so many times by this entire organization

Here's to success, finally

Salty.

 

[Syracusecards]

Based on my in-depth knowledge, I would say this rates from the worst hire ever to the best hire ever. Go Cards!!!

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Someone else may have mentioned this but don’t forget he worked with Flores in New England.

I'm not excited by Flores in any way

Prefer someone else

From small town to big time: Morris alum Ossenfort collecting rings with Patriots

No former Minnesota Morris student-athlete has ever played in the Super Bowl. One former Cougar football player, though, just collected his third Super Bowl ring.

His first act as GM better be to give #birdcity the ax.

 

[BritCard]

Just because they were a part of the same organization at some point in their careers? Monti was the director of college scouting, Flores was a linebackers coach. Their tenure overlapped for 2 seasons.

I don't understand the connection.

11 years together

Or hire Payton

Or hire Payton

For all we know Payton got an email from Mike and he had #birdcity in his signature line...and Sean was like, welp cross off AZ.

Dear god he looks like someone merged Keim and Kingsbury.

So can we have a coach by Friday?

They have to interview several. Doubt this week. Probably next week.

 

[Proteus]

Excellent hire, 15 years with the Patriots.

Isn't Belichick effectively the Gm there?
