Stanford is looking for a new Athletic Directory and apparently Mark Murphy wanted the position when available in 2006. Stanford has requested permission to interview Murphy for the position.

What impact (if any) do you foresee if Mark Murphy leaves the Packers?

I think it's semi-hilarious that a college AD position is more attractive than a pro President job.

Sort of like running for Senator after being President of the United States.

I would not want to have Mark leave. Mark is very capable, yet basically stays in the background and lets everybody else do they're job, much like Harlan did. He seems to be quite well respected throughout the league. The chemistry throughout our management and coaches is excellant, unless some one knows something they're not letting out. He also has aggressiveness and a good business sense to keep the Packers growing financially which will help us stay competetive. On top of it all he was a very good player, so he has an insight that not many top execs have.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Ok, I'll answer the OP. [grin1]

My feeling on Murphy departing is a gigantic yawn. Finding another person whose primary roles are PR and interacting with Goodell's office and other lawyers for a seven figure salary -- this is not going to be particularly hard to do.

Murphy IMO is a corporate executive. A good one, to be sure, but good corporate executives with legal savvy are a lot more plentiful that the dipshit execs who make the news would suggest.

Not calling for his replacement -- but if he moves on, it's not going to be a big thing.

Unless you lack confidence in the Executive Committee's ability to avoid the dipshit candidates.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I'm with Wade. The guys who do the real work are the guys like 🇹🇹 (and his staff) and 🇲🇲. Murphy leaving is not going to hurt us. 🇹🇹 or 🇲🇲 leaving will hurt us.

I am hurt that Kevin moved my post. Tyranny at the highest levels.

After all I did post my comment to this thread.

I don't see him moving on for an AD position at any university.

And country to some poster's opinions it take a lot of moxy to remain in the background and let others do their jobs. Not everyone can do that. I also wonder if The Committee would find another so able as Mark but then my opinion of committees is pretty low.

I'd be more than willing to do Mark Murphy's job. If anyone high up in the Packers' org reads this, the Zombieslayer is quite good at sitting back and letting others do their jobs.

... or some college president, whatever.

The real discussion might be, "Does this guy have the best job on EARTH, or what?"

Fellow Packers fans, let's all take a deep breath. A source within the Packers organization has refuted any impending move by Murphy. Director of Public Relations Aaron Popkey emailed with Jason Wilde today, who reported Popkey's response earlier today:

Mark’s at an NFL meeting and not available today. With regard to the speculation, it’s simply just that. There’s no basis to it.

Zero2Cool (4h) : Easier to get a camera on her in the suite where she can't impact the game by being distraction???

TheKanataThrilla (4h) : This is the least excited I have been in a long time for a Super Bowl. Unfortunately they both can't lose.

wpr (4h) : So why don;'t they have her on the sidelines and doing the halftime fandango instead of sitting on her but in a $1,000,000 suite?

Zero2Cool (6h) : Think more eyes on Super Bowl with Swift fans pulling for her TE boyfriend?

Zero2Cool (6h) : She dating the TE of the Chiefs.

Zero2Cool (4-Feb) : If you wanna post about the Super Bowl, please, by all means, open a topic. They are free this month! 😁

Zero2Cool (4-Feb) : There doesn't need to be a topic. There's a playoff prediction thread.

packerfanoutwest (4-Feb) : and there no SB contest over in the other Packer forum, either

buckeyepackfan (4-Feb) : #2Officially Retires!

beast (4-Feb) : Probably no SB topic as people are wore out talking about the Chiefs, Refs and Eagles

dfosterf (30-Jan) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eerily quiet here in Alexandria. I live in the flight path of commercial craft coming from the south and west, plus the military craft

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : happy birthday dhazer

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.
