Gil Brandt endorses Schiano

Brandt apparently worked for the Dallas Cowboys organization. Which automatically makes him both a douche-bag and highly suspect.
He's also a former VP of Player Personnel/GM for the Cowboys and a long time executive/consultant for the NFL, as well as analyst for CBS Sports and NFL.com for the draft every year.
Shocked that some of you never heard of him.
?? Never heard of him ?? Gil Brandt is probably the most respected and innovative talent evaluator / executive in NFL history.
They're trying to pull the generation card, that's all. Some folks aren't as young as they think they still are. Son of Red's post was funny though! Most people who are knowledgeable about pro football have heard of Gil Brandt.
Well said. Either I'm old or we have a lot of ignorant posters. Or both.
Gil Brandt is a Pro Football legend from a few years back. When he was involved with the USFL, I hand wrote him a letter trying to get a job right out of college. He hand wrote me back a nice , long letter to stay in touch and how to network, etc. I wound up going into training to take my Series VII exam (stockbroker), got it and went to work for a boiler room, lol. Bad mistake, should have taken Gil's advice, lol
Oh yeah. Cowboys GM. Hate him passionately - as I do with anyone associated any level of Cowboys success.
thats a cool story abro. years ago, after graduating from rutgers, i wrote a letter to the President of the New Jersey Nets asking him for a job, and he wrote back offering me a job selling tickets, but warning that the hours were long, etc. though i didn't take it, was also appreciative of the offer.
Also a good story Al! A young man down the street from me used to be the kicker for Towson, now works for the Jets in the ticket/suite sales dept and loves it.
Gil Brandt was fired by Jerry Jones when he bought the team. Brandt was never a part of the cesspool that Jones has created there.
