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.

dfosterf (16h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (16h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (16h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (16h) : In your face, HBO!

dfosterf (17h) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (17h) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (17h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (17h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (17h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (20h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (20h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (21h) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
