The Arizona Cardinals announced Monday that Monto Ossenfort was hired as the team’s new general manager. He had been the Tennessee Titans’ direct or of player personnel for the last three seasons.
Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill, who made the hire, is understandably excited about the move.
He issued a statement in the press release announcing Ossenfort’s hiring.
“It was critically important for us to find the right person to lead us as general manager and there is no doubt in my mind that we have that in Monti Ossenfort,” said Bidwill in the statement. “He possesses every attribute of a successful GM – passion, leadership, intelligence, work ethic – and his extensive experience has clearly prepared him for this role. We could not be more thrilled to have Monti and his family joining the Cardinals.”
Ossenfort spent most of his career working his way up the ranks with the New England Patriots and was part of building championship teams.
Next up for the Cardinals is to hire a head coach.
