Dude is coming across as a greedy little bitch, imo.

Brian Gutekunst should interview as well because it gets his name thrown around and who knows what could happen.

Maybe we would be better off with Gutekunst? Let Wolf walk and give Gutekunst his job for a year or two. If his name was Elliot Smith no one would have cared if he had left years ago.

Gutekunst is a cool name. It means "good art" in German.

I'm really curious, though. Why does everyone seem to think Wolf is the real talent driving this organization and that Green Bay would be more successful with him at the helm? Is it just because of his venerable last name? If not, where is the evidence that good decisions are attributable to him and bad decisions are Thompson's fault?

Maybe the transition has already started and only those within closed doors know, hence the RUMOR that Ted Thompson may step down sooner than later?

This may be true, and Wolf may leave because of it; but he's not going to SF.

I don't think he's going to SF either. I don't know much of anything about him though, some people absolutely love that sort of challenge. If he's that sort of person and really, really wants to set himself apart from his dad, making success out of a mess of a franchise would be a huge feather in his cap.

Then again, it's also a massive risk.

The Packers should offer them Ted Thompson for a bag of practice balls, keep the young blood and move on.🤬

One of the reasons Holmgren came here was that the franchise was such a disaster. He wanted to show that he could take a franchise like that, and turn it all the way around.

Dude is coming across as a greedy little bitch, imo. Not sure I want him in charge if that's the type of character he has. Ted didn't HAVE to bring him up like that. To me, it suggests that Wolf is not ready to fill those shoes.

It's a cheap power play. If they wanted an asshole running things, they could have had John Jones instead of Murphy.

He isn't asking to be interviewed, or for permission. Other teams are after him.
