Korn Ferry, is them, is it us?

Ever think that maybe the search firm has the job of recommending all the candidates who won't agree to interview. Their job is to bring candidates for the org to choose from? Nowhere.

My guess is they'll do their one Rooney Rule candidate and announce Ball saying they were interested in a lot of guys but, to quote Ted, it's just kinda the way it worked out.

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'll end up paying that search firm at the very least six, if not seven or even eight, figures -- depending on whether the headhunters charge by the hour/day or a standard 30% finder's fee (I'm guessing it's the latter). There's no way they're shelling out that kind of cash for a list of candidates who don't want to interview.

I would say based on the Schneider and Eric DeCosta requests they have donethat. You're also assuming and wrongly so that every request and candidate is a known to us. Once the process plays out we will know more.

Not only would Korn Ferry NEVER accept such a engagement, but Packers couldn't afford to look that stupid if word from a porous home office ever leaked. No chance.

They are a top rated, world class organization.

Not just world class, but international in scope. There is no way they'd sully their reputation with such an absurd commission. They're not that desperate for money. They're not desperate, period. Potential clients seek them out.

I split these posts into this thread. The title was created by me, so if you don't like it, blame me. Go ahead and discuss the Korn Ferry angle to this.

This firm is paid to present their recommendations to Murphy for his consideration. It indeed could be just a smoke screen for GB to cover their ass. As Thompson has not altogether left from the Packers employ, I fear he still exerts his influence regarding his replacement. I fear that some part of this story has yet to be revealed. Much is going on behind closed doors that we not hear about for years,

Hiring someone that clearly rubs people the wrong way, like Russ Ball, would be a bad mistake in many ways.

I still support Elliot Wolf for GB's next GM.

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round
