Ehhhhhh. I'm kind of past the Saints connections, unless Payton is coming along with him. I know that the McCaskey family really admires the Benson family...but Ireland is at/near the bottom of my list,

The only relevant thing that Ireland brings to the table is any connection to Harbaugh.

No relevance, but I didn't know he was Jim Parmer (long-time Bears SW scout) grandson.

Interesting article on Parmer, credited with helping build the '85 Bears.

I'm more concerned about his time running a bad Dolphins franchise from 2008-2014 than his time with the Saints.

But guys Wiki said he was a ball boy for the Bears when he was a child so we have to support him.
