Re: Who is the worst GM is pro sports history?
Matt Millen, it's not a competition:
1. Hired Marty Morninweg, who had never been a head coach before, and had ~1 year of experience calling plays as an OC after the first interview. Couldn't let him get away.
2. 3 of 4 top ten picks wasted, including two top 3, 2 on WR's who were out of the league within 3 years.
3. Signed Cory Bradford to deal with $3M bonus, cut him after season began. Then resigned midway through year anyway.
4. Bill Schroeder.
5. 4th round pick for Ty Detmer.
6. Damien Woody: largest contract ever (at the time) to an interior lineman, currently not a starter.
7. Traded Dre Bly, their only above average player in the secondary, on a relatively cheap one year deal for Tatum Bell (inactive) and George Foster (Benched due to shittyness).
8. Kalimba Edwards: high pick (3rd of 2nd round), never panned out (7 sacks/season is career high) then gave a $20M extension...
9. 4 of the 5 losingest active NFL players in SI two weeks ago were brought into the league by Millen.
10. In 7 years on the job has brought in 3 players who have made the pro bowl (Shaun Rogers, Dre Bly & Eddie Drummond) a total of 5 times. For comparison 8 Patriots are leading the pro bowl voting for their position this year alone.
Career Record:
Millen 30 -77 : .280% - the worst.
