The Dolphins, still trying to convince Ron Wolf to join them as a personnel consultant, acted on one of his recommendations Thursday.

The Dolphins received permission from the Seattle Seahawks to interview Ted Thompson, formerly the top personnel aide to Wolf in Green Bay, for their general manager position. Thompson, vice president of football operations for the Seahawks since 2000, is expected to interview on Sunday.

While with the Packers, Thompson was Wolf's director of player personnel from 1997-2000, a position he was promoted to after serving as a scout in 1992 and pro personnel director from 1993-1997. Thompson departed for Seattle a year...




I never knew Ted interviewed for the Dolphins GM spot.

after former Packers coach Mike Holmgren left for the Seahawks and offered Thompson substantial influence in personnel decisions.

Thompson and Wolf, who retired in 2000, helped provide the Packers talent that contributed to a 92-52 record and six straight playoff appearances, including a Super Bowl title in 1996 and an NFC championship in 1997.

"(Thompson) played a very important role in (the Packers' success)," Wolf said in a telephone interview Thursday. "He's done a good job in Seattle."

Okay.. lets play a little game of fantasy GM here..

Would you trade Ted for Bill Parcells?

That is since Ted would have taken the Fins job and left the Tuna in the open. 😉

I'd take Ted because Bill isn't a GM.

LOL... technicalities and labels. So since Ted has the VP and GM job, does he have a greater say than Bill? :lol:

Maybe Ted bosses himself around.. would be a reason he is so timid, lol.

I would much rather have Ted than Bill.

Bill seems to alienate every place we is and never really leaves a place better that when he got there.
