Cardinals Hire Titans' Monti Ossenfort as New GM

[Krangodnzr]

Is he? What personnel decisions have been attributed to him, or what stands out personnel-wise from his time with NE or tenn? Not being snarky, but those aren’t two organizations I typically think of when I think next level personnel organizations. Wonder what makes this guy stick out…

With personnel guys, you always get the resume and the positions they've been in and a quick blurb about what people think of him.

Ossenfort is well thought of in the NFL.

Hoping for Demeco Ryan’s at this point.

with NE its so hard to separate the Belichick HC effect vs personnel

that said:

here is their depth chart this year: https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/ne/new-england-patriots

i think Judon is the only high $ free agent on defense -- and their defense is quite good

on offense -- their o-line is all home made

the one blind spot NE has in WRs. ugh

Don't know much on this guy will read up on him

Hoping he talks Bidwill Into another hc instead of vjoseph lol and he makes good other fa draft ideas.

420 bong rip to a fingers crossed on good gm career... only time will tell

Gooooo cards

i dont get this

the Titans records prior to this year's 7-10:

12-5, 11-5, 9-7, 9-7, 9-7

its not like he came from the Jets

I’m curious to see the draft picks they made during that time.

This is encouraging.

 

[splitsecond]

I think this is a great hire so long as it doesn’t mean we hire excuse riddled loser Brian Flores as our coach.

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

Hoping for Demeco Ryan’s at this point.

That would be a home run in my opinion

 

[Garthshort]

Is this the same Monti who took down the Desert Fox in WWII? If so, we have a winner.

Well, they also played in the AFC south, so they were starting from a likely 4-2 or better division record from Jump Street. Congrats.

Part of the galaxy-brained group that traded AJ Brown for magic beans last year.

Has there been a Pats exec hire who didn’t bring a ton of palace intrigue and drama with him? Get your popcorn ready.

Apparently someone doesn't like this hiring.

BTW, has there ever been a "journalist" this bad at writing a coherent thought?

He’s one salty ****. Mikey. You’re irrelevant. Get over it.

 

[jbjarko]

Actually. Mike Jurecki just blocked me. I did good.

 

[Shane]

I love all the “I don’t know a thing about this guy so I’m pretty meh on the hiring”
Lol

Like anyone here has true great insight to all the folks in the NFL working under the GM level waiting for their chance. SMH

I also love all the “I’m so glad Mikey didn’t hire from within” from many of the same folks whom have stated Mikey was a fool for not promoting the guy (from within) that left to tampa bay and won a damn SB.

It never is dull around here that’s for sure.

He thinks Monti is qualified.

I dunno what’s up with this guy. Praying for him.

He's all over the place. He's really bad at twitter. Not sure why he decided to bash the owner then.

I was just about to say Mike would have blocked you years ago for saying something bad about Bidwill.

Jurecki used to be an arrogant jerk. Now he is an arrogant and bitter jerk

 

[Card'em]

He seems like a solid choice. I appreciate the fact that we interviewed Ian Cunningham, who was with Philadelphia and Baltimore, Joe Hotiz, who was with Baltimore, and Ossenfort, who was with New England and Tennessee, and we settled on Ossenfort. Time will tell, but I'm glad we went outside the organization and looked at multiple, qualified candidates.

The valley deserves better deserves better. I’m a journalist.

I stopped following him after needing to re-read his posts too many times. Seems like dude has been on a swift decline lately.

I don’t know how you define “meh” but if you don’t know much about him it seems appropriate. I can neither get excited about a guy who comes from one organization where the success can heavily be attributed to the coach and QB and another organization where I can’t think of any sterling personnel move outside of drafting AJ Brown, whom they subsequently traded. But I’m also not mad becasue they went outside the organization and at least he’s coming from pedigree of two winning organizations. Leads me to “meh.”

Now that you’re done laughing at other posters about their feelings about the hire, what’s your feelings? And why?
