Jeff Ireland is the Saints’ Assistant General Manager and college scouting director. He’s been a big part of the team’s turnaround and reports are he’ll be with them for a bit longer. Lost in the hype surrounding the epic overtime win the Saints put together over the Redskins, this was huge news this past weekend.
Nothing official has been released from the Saints organization. But several media outlets were reporting over the weekend that sources had said the team had extended the contract of Jeff Ireland.
This is true. Very quietly, the Saints locked up a big reason for their success.
