No he wasn't.
He was the lowest team scout from 2001 to 2004. He was Director of Pro Personnel for only a couple of years and went 24-24.
He then "left" - aka fired - and went to Philadelphia to be demoted.
When he arrived in Philly, he was downgraded back to scout. When he was eventually promoted to Director of Pro Personnel, he endured another bad .500 record (32-32) before being fired by Philly.
So let's recap.
He has:
1) Not been with an NFL team in *any* capacity in nearly a decade.
2) When he was with an NFL team, he had a .500 record and was fired by two teams after being in the director job for 3 years or less.
Therefore, I stand by my question of: "What in the pickles tarnation does he know about being a GM?"
