There are days that you really appreciate this job and the fact you get to work with so many good people. There are other days when you’re having trouble, and stubbing your toe, and you feel like ‘holy smokes, what are we doing?’ and you want to just ride off into the sunset. I’ve had no thoughts along the lines of leaving.

Thompson said he'll retire to scouting once it's not longer fun... great coaches, great team, great system in place, President that lets him do what he does and everyone likes him as long as they keep winning... what's not fun? Should be fun years as long as they keep guys healthy and keep winning.

And as far as I know, no one to bug him he needs to go visit family member so and so more often and see their kids more often etc....

I read an article once about this. It said that he's committed for a long time and having no wife or kids leaves him the time to keep doing this as long as he wants.

Beast nailed it. He said once it stops being fun is when he'll walk away.

He just lost another protege. Reinfeld in Tennessee, Schneider in Seattle and McKenzie in Oakland.

He'll need to bring Elliot Wolf along. It'll be a few years yet at least.

Alonzo Highsmith is on the staff too.

As he said, he'll stay as long as he's having fun. Much of that depends on how long Aaron can play at a high level and the ability to replace him when he's finished. Ted Thompson does a good jobs building a team so he can build a good team around a good QB. That means they'll win and be contenders in the playoffs. Winning is fun. So, to my way of thinking, in this regard, QB is the key. Good QBs for a long time, Ted Thompson is here a long time.








Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I'll never retire if I'm enjoying my work. It's kind of pointless.

Besides rock star, I can't think of a better job than 🇹🇹 has. I think he's happy. He's got a stone face, but seems at least content. He's respected. There used to be a lot of 🇹🇹 haters (I was one of them) but I think 🇹🇹 has won us all over now.

You say that now, but the fact of the matter is that people expect success. If the Packers never get a brush with the Super Bowl in the next 6 years or so due to various issues with the team and if a lot of these young guys we're high on now end up being complete busts, not many people are going to be high on the Ted juice. You win, people love you. You lose, people hate you.
