The guy lied on his resume

In a one-sentence press release the Vikings today announced the termination of Fran Foley, vice president of player personnel.

 

It is believed Foley and the Vikings reached a buyout settlement on the three-year contract that Foley signed Jan. 26, but no team official was immediately available for comment. Owner Zygi Wilf met Monday night with Foley, whose tenure was rocked by the discovery of an embellished resume as well as multiple accounts of a brash management style at Winter Park.

Couldn't happen to a classier franchise.

This has nothing to do with the Draft. Foley lied, got caught and Wilf won't have any of it. Although, Wilf still has a resume-lying, part-owner Fowler in his group. Fowler was the original Vikings "buyer" whom the NFL caught lying. Always a good story within that outter Purple crust.

 

The Vikings should hire me. I never lie. Sure, I'll spin it tighter than Barry Bonds' forearms, but I never lie.

Has nothing to do with the draft? Don't kid yourself. They knew he lied on his resume before the draft. Seem kinda funny after many have blasted the Vikings for some questionable moves on draft day he gets fired.

Trust me: Foley was a Dead Man Walking in that War Room. This was news in Minneapolis last week. They kept their mouths shut on him until the Draft was over. Couldn't send a guy packing 48 hours before the Draft who knew all of their secrets.

 

Added: Had they fired him last Friday, they might have had to trade up the third for a fifth-round QB!!!

Does this have any effect on the naked booze cruises?

How does any organization, football or otherwise, hire a VP without verifying his credentials? Did the guy have 30 yrs as a pro football exec listed?

Anything this franchise does shouldn't shock anyone anymore. What a joke.

The local rumor is it has all to do with the draft.

 

Apparently in the midst of the draft he couldn't handle it, and the guy who should have received the job had to step up with Coach Childrish and take over the drafting on the fly.

 

The word is not only did he lie, but didn't have a clue to boot. This in front of the boss.
