Vikings hire Spielman as VP for player personnelAssociated Press
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings hired Rick Spielman as vice president for player personnel Tuesday.
Spielman, who currently is an ESPN NFL analyst, left the Miami Dolphins in June 2005 after five seasons with the club, including one as general manager. Before that, he was with Detroit from 1990-96 and Chicago from 1997-99. Spielman left the Dolphins as he became increasingly irrelevant with new coach Nick Saban having complete control over the roster.
As general manager, Spielman was widely criticized throughout the 2004 season, along with coach Dave Wannstedt, who had final say on personnel decisions. Miami went 4-12 that season, one of the worst records in franchise history.
Spielman replaces Fran Foley, who was fired after three months on the job following a controversy about inaccuracies on his resume and a draft that got mixed reviews.

spielman has never been able to assess talent, I think they would have been better off with foley.

I never though spielman was that bad, but not that good either, Studwells been a great head scout for many years. He deserved the job.

Maybe he didn't want it, or he turned it down. How bad is it to go around the country and get paid to oogle co-eds and watch college football?
Who wouldn't want Stud's job?
