Donahoe was more concerned with headlines then actually putting together a winning football team. One of the first things he said when he took over was that the team should have been in the playoffs the previous year...then proceeded to dismantle the team
I thought his drafting was terrible actually. Taking Mike Williams a RT over Bryant McKinnie a LT was a mistake. McGahee was not a luxury they could afford to take especially since he was going to miss his rookie season. Using second round picks on Roscoe Parrish and Josh Reed was just ridiculous. He also traded up in the second round to get Ryan Denney which was just as bad
He also hired Greg Williams
