Nope. People against having a cap guy in charge should REALLY be upset about a HC with personnel authority.
It works out far, far less. For every Belichick, there is Jeff Fisher, Chip Kelly, Mike Sherman and Nick Saban.

if MM is having to deal with a finance guy as a gm then he should have some power in personnel matters. MM knows what he needs, and who can help, more than anyone there. they're not there to win the cap championship. if that were the case the browns would be holding the trophy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooney_Rule
" The Rooney Rule is a National Football League policy that requires league teams to Interview minority candidates for head coaching and senior football operation jobs."
A good question, the theory I saw was that with their season still going, they do not have to grant interviews except in the specially designated windows.
Its possible it was a courtesy the Packers extended to them; they may abide by it even when they could force it.
I think the only positions that cannot be blocked are assistants to become head coaches. (I am probably wrong though)
Minnesota can deny interview requests because they're still playing, according to http://packerswire.usatoday.com/2018...-assistant-gm/
This whole thing is really a cluster. If the situation requires keeping MM then the would turn off a lot of potential candidates outside of the organization in my opinion and potentially within as well. Couple that with a DC opening why would anyone want that position until the GM position is solidified? Unbelievable Murphy would say anything about M3 being the coach. Deal with one thing at a time. You know the idiot press will ask about the head coach so just say 'We will visit that after the gm is in place' instead of putting yourself in a corner. I don't like the timing of any of this unless it's all a charade for ultimately putting Wolfe or Gutekunst in place and they are on the same page with M3.
