New England Patriots executive Jim Hausmann retired this week - ESPN Boston
Interesting piece on one of the important, yet pretty much unknown guys who helped handle the day-to-day operations.
Jim Hausmann's behind-the-scenes, 19-year tenure with the New England Patriots, in which he served as chief financial officer and chief administrative officer, wasn't in the original playbook.
The idea was for him to relocate briefly from his hometown of St. Louis, learn the football business and then return home to work for an NFL expansion team. His connection was with James Orthwein, who in 1992 had purchased controlling interest of the Patriots from Victor Kiam.
Yet just as it can happen sometimes on the football field, things didn't unfold as planned. The results were better than he ever anticipated.
