Team owner Michael Bidwill continued his stripping of the Cardinals’ staff yesterday by hiring former Patriots Director of College Scouting and Titans Director of Player Personnel Monti Ossenfort as the team’s successor to Steve Keim as GM.
By electing to hire his GM from the outside for the first time since hiring Buddy Ryan as GM/HC back in 1993, in essence, Michael Bidwill, feeling that he and the franchise are at the end of their ropes, is staging his NFL version of The Full Monti.
To hear Monti Ossenfort’s name as the Cardinals’ new GM came as quite a surprise to most, including myself, as evidenced by the GM poll I waged for Cardinals’ fans over the weekend:
Pundits are predicting that is going to make their GM choice sometime this week.
