I just interviewed Fred Vinson ...

[mission]

... for a $24,000 a year entry level position.

when i picked up his resume, i chuckled and thought "fred vinson, we had one playing for us a few years back" and then flipped the page and saw a few nfl teams listed on his "resume" ... hahah

anyway, real nice guy... but TINY. 160 lbs now? told me he spent some time in sherman's camp his first year and it was a complete mess, players didnt respect him at all behind his back. i almost felt for MS for a second. almost.

he thinks the pack is done and that vick is the real deal

had to share

[ahaha]

Did you thank him for helping us get Ahman Green?

[chewy-bacca]

That should tell you what he will do if you hire him.

Rookie Contract with Packers

2. Fred Vinson, CB: Four years at $2.247 million, average of $561,175, '99 cap salary of $470,000. Signing bonus of $900,000. Base salaries of $245,000 in '99, $286,250 in 2000, $347,000 in 2001 and $408,750 in 2002. Workout bonuses of $20,000 in 2000, 2001 and 2002.

What exactly did he do with all his money that he's applying for a $24,000 a year entry level job? Sorry, but I'm skeptical.

Well, if he is down to applying for low wage jobs, I think he is the one that is DONE!

I guess he didn't watch Vick on Monday Night Football. Didn't he complete about 30% of his passes. He was BRUTAL!

He might have invested it, he might have spent it. Really, what would you expect him to do? Tony Mandarich manages a golf course....

It really could be true.

hahah good responses...

im not going to call him back for a second interview because he told me he wants a job where he can use photoshop (strange...) and sit behind a desk all day. for the first three months here i have people doing outside sales to learn about our products so eventually you can properly manage the creation of it and nuture existing accounts (acct mgr).

i kept trying to kind of feel out why the hell he was here in the first place without making him feel like an idiot. it sounds like he kind of lived a baller lifestyle, had a bit of money saved up but his wife (brand new wife btw) is putting the pressure on him to stop playing arena football (yes, thats right) and get into something that's gonna make some money... meaning: he doesnt have any?

i dont know, maybe that's too much information but i got a kick out of it. couldnt believe how tiny he was...

six months ago i interviewed chris calloway (the wideout) and even brought him back for a second shadow interview, we went out to dinner to discuss compensation following and i just felt for what he wanted coming through the door and his laidback-the-world-has-taken-care-of-me attitude that i couldnt guarantee him what he wanted without getting a certain performance type of guarantee for me. maybe i just need rosenhaus.
