It is very odd that he'd leave for such a position. It would definitely seem to be a downgrade. He's basically functioning as the "owner" here. Makes me wonder if there's more to the story.

Be interesting to see how they replace him. I've heard Ted doesn't know how long he can continue working as hard as he does. He could conceivably bump up a notch. Then again we already lost Reggie McKenzie, John Schneider and Reinfeldt, who would have been logical candidates. Eliot Wolf just got promoted, so he's probably not ready.

Andrew Brandt left on probably unfriendly terms, so he won't get the job. I'm sure they have a list of candidates. Just hope the new guy doesn't change too much.

Apparently this was nothing more than a rumor per the Packers.

I will cherish my time working for this unique organization and will forever have fond memories of the people, the players and the fans of Packer nation.

Simply put... this reads like a writer stretching for a story. Probably using the movement of coaches between the ranks to try and link to this hypothetical move.

But the difference between college and the pros at the executive level differs substantially in terms of exposure, money and probably the worst of it.. the rules.

The NFL for the most part is very well defined about its rules.. the college level the NCAA deliberately allows gray within the rules to not only control the bowls, but more importantly the money. Rules are in constant flux and the NCAA seems to interpret them differently at will depending upon the school and the coaching staff.

Personally, I think the worst job in sports is being involved in oversee a college sports program.

Makes little sense for Murphy to consider the job, let alone display interest in the form of an interview.

As Foster noted.. he might have one of the most coveted jobs in sports.. a "de facto" owner without the investment risks.

If it's so easy, and our executive committe is so adept at finding a good/great exec why did we go through the 70's and 80's like we did?
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

The 70's and 80's were a product, IMO, of poorly ran personnel departments and way to much reluctance to make fundamental changes in place of band aids. Names like Tom Braatz make me shudder.. but the thoughts of Bart Starr's reign and Coach and GM make on realize more often than not.. that dual role does not work effectively.

Starr was a great QB.. but just wasn't truly effective as a coach and GM. Fairly or unfairly.. legend or not.. much of the muddling of the 70's and 80's falls upon his shoulders.

93, that was not in reference to you. What I was alluding to was the fact that we've had 3 highly capable people run the Packers. First was Curly Lambeau. Second was Vince Lombardi, he was unique in that he really wasn't in charge, but he really pretty much ran things because nobody was going to turn down what he wanted. Third was Bob Harlan, he hired the two very good GMs, let them do their job and we won and are winning with them. Hopefully, Mark Murphy can and will do the same for years to come.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

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

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.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
