What do you think? Does the author have a point?

Before Seahawks G.M. John Schneider signed his latest extension in Seattle, he had a clause that allowed him to leave for the team that plays in his home state of Wisconsin. At the time, it was believed that Schneider or Eliot Wolf would become the successor to Packers G.M. Ted Thompson.

Could we be losing Wolf.... yeah... but we could of lost him the last couple of years when teams asked to interview him as well. So it's basically business as normal, other than he's one step further... he still has two more steps to go before he's a GM (2nd and 3rd round of interveiws) and who knows... he could put a clause in the contract that he can return to GB if they offer him the GM job, like another former Packers scout did (now with the Seahawks).

Also do we really know Eliot Wolf is better than Brian Gutekunst? We just love Eliot because of his dad. but it's possible Gutekunst could be equally as good of a choice (unless someone knows something we don't).

The more I think about Eliot Wolf, the more I think if I were him, I would want to start fresh at a place I could build my own legacy, rather than taking over the one my dad started and the one Ted Thompson continued.

Why did they hire a coach before a GM?
BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

In addition to your comments he may prefer to revive another venerated franchise. With Oakland moving there is an opportunity to pull in more fans. The climate in SF is milder. Larger city.

There are plenty of other reasons he may decide to move on.

I'd like to keep him. Does Reggie McKenzie have a GB clause in his contract?

I like Eliot only because of what is assumed and some known. It would be nice to know Eliot could reach out to his father for help. That's a resource and relationship no on else is capable of. Plus, I figure Eliot would have a lot of his father's own tendencies which are attractive to me. However, the apple may have fallen far from the tree, and it that case, let him go, as he's a product of nepotism to a degree. I do like the idea that Eliot is a younger man and understands the world of today as he's grown up in it as opposed to an out of touch dinosaur.

For all we know, Gutekunst may be the better GM. How would we ever know? Both of them are spokes in our wheel. I guess we'll see how important each might be if and once they leave.

My biggest concern is that you don't let a young guy like Eliot walk IF you think he creates no giant dropoff from TT. Why let a guy walk who can run your org for 30+ years for one who might be around for another year or two? That makes very little sense to me. I have to believe the Packers would be comfortable with either Eliot or Brian leaving because they'd just go with whomever remained. It would be a gut punch to see them both go and to protect from that I would pick the one I was most comfortable with and talk with Ted and make Eliot or Brian the GM, now.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

They’re seeking second interviews with Green Bay executives Brian Gutekunst and Eliot Wolf, along with Minnesota assistant G.M. George Paton, with Arizona vice president of player personnel Terry McDonough still a possibility as well.

This thread brings to my mind an old quotation that says, "If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we would all have a Merry Christmas."

I'm saying that as we are not privileged to what's being said at these interviews, the speculation and guessing is just that.

There is however a NFC Championship game about to be played , that IMO, merits more of this forums attention.

[wtf]

Backward way of doing it and it should make this job even less attractive as it sounds Shanahan will have all the power. Sounds like the GM will be like Sherman Lewis once was for us...All title. No actual power.

This is an important topic. Certainly moreso than Crock-Pot vs. pressure cooker or what your favorite nut is.
