Jerry Jabber Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 As senior football advisor, will he recommend to the Eagles getting the lollipop guild for their WR corps (like he did in Buffalo)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Oh dear. Lurie's just the kind of fanboy owner that would buy TD's spiel. Yet another anchor chain around Andy Ried's neck... Eagle's Press Release: "An experienced and successful front office executive, Donahoe has served as the director of football operations of the Pittsburgh Steelers (1991-99) and as the general manager and team president of the Buffalo Bills (2001-05). A native of Mt. Lebanon, PA, Donahoe began his career with the Steelers as a regional scout (1986-88) and was promoted to the team’s director of pro personnel and development (1989-90). He was named the team’s director of football operations in 1991, and played a major role in the Steelers 84-60 record and six playoff appearances in his nine seasons. From 1991-99, the Steelers drafted 12 players who went on to earn 31 Pro Bowl appearances." Gotta love he quick reference to Buffalo, followed by the glowling prose about his time with the Stillers.

DrDawkinstein Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Seems like the perfect job. All of the access, with no accountability. Nothing can be pinned as solely his fault. "Hey, I just advised, YOU made the decision." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I'd have thought Bill Polian would have been hired by an NFL team before Donahoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Good now the Iggles will draft a RB with a broken leg as a developmental player in the 1st round. to be fair, even in hindsight he was probably an average to better than average first rounder in the grand scheme of things.

Nanker Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Could hardly be happier for him and that team. Could not be any unhappier for them either. Maybe this breaks the curse. Mort finally swallows his, ah, eh, em, pride and gushed about the Iggles from here on out, completely forgetting The Bills. !@#$ 'em all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Get ready for the glowing Eagles reviews on ESPN by Mort.... Funny maybe you caught it. Mort announced the Eagles hiring on NFL32. He also threw kudos to Donahue for writing 200 "reports" for ESPN just this past draft. I never new that douche was on the ESPN payroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 When the hell will the Patriots do something so stupid as what the Eagles just did, or the Jets did with the Tebow implosion that will occur soon. TD is about as good as a staph infection. It looks not so great up front, but gets worse and worse until you have to amputate. He is so instrumental on so many levels of the debacle of this team for the last twelve years. I'm not going to write a book, but just really think about where we were with the Bills defense prior to him arriving and what happened on his watch.
