Profile Pic Assessment: "We're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anybody want to see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired!"

Notable Feat: Won games for Vanderbilt, one of the more moribund college football programs. Was chased out of Denver by Broncos' psychotic new head coach.

Notable Tweet: "Rough start to 2009 season. 15 games left, plenty of time left. We will get better, I promise you that."
