This happens in other professions all of the time. In my own experience, a number of strong engineers and scientists have made shitty managers.
In TT's case, I believe he was very good at scouting talent AND a good people manager, even if not particularly warm with the public.
Well, we can put this rumor to bed with McCarthy's reported agreement to bring back Joe Philbin and the hiring of WR coach "Jeff Hostetler". M3 isn't going to be bringing guys in and then hauling off and resigning b/c he doesn't like Cappie Russ as GM choice. That would mean Philbin & Hoss would both be in limbo and a new coach in all likelihood would pick his own staff, as he should. McCarthy would be ridiculed in such a scenario. No way that's happening.
We have (for whatever were their personal reasons) lost four good 'Front Office' Executives under TT's Tenure as Packer GM.

" ..The Packers have watched both John Schneider and Reggie McKenzie leave Green Bay for successful GM assignments with Seattle and Oakland, respectively. It's fair to wonder if the team would eventually aim to promote well-respected director of football operations Eliot Wolf, but those plans are on hold for now." "

Add Alonzo Highsmith.
I think that was the topic. I think Highsmith felt he deserved a chance for an interview, but wasn't getting it because someone at the top doesn't trust him. I think he was referring to Murphy, although we don't know exactly how much Ball's role has expanded in recent years beyond managing the cap.
Actually, we have an idea.
Cohen: The media guide says his daily supervision includes the following departments: athletic training, equipment, video, corporate travel, player development, family programs and public relations
Plus the fact that none of the personnel lieutenants seem to lack titles Ball has.
I hope Ball stays as the numbers guy with Gut.
