Former Dolphins GM Spielman joins Vikings

NFL.com wire reports

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (May 30, 2006) -- The Minnesota Vikings hired Rick Spielman as vice president for player personnel.

Spielman 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 for 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.

A mediocre stint with the Lions in Sanders hayday, three dismal years in Chicago, and a decent run in Miami until he made some questionable moves in '04.

Maybe it's just me, but this guy sure gets a lot of press for what could be described as an average (at best) resume.
