Eliot Wolf staying in Green Bay

[mission]

I said in another thread that it would be funny if, after all our lathering about losing Wolf, if it was Gutekunst who got the job anyway.

And that may be what happens.

Does this speak to the 49ers' ineptitude or Wolf's lack of readiness?

Or neither? I read a quote from an exec who said Gutekunst nailed the interview and that he's Scot McCloughlin without the drinking problem. That said, I do think there had to be something there with Wolf just not wanting to go into that situation.
Sooooo... we keep hemorrhaging front office talent and not bringing anyone in.

I'm not sold that Wolf is boy wonder. He might not have gotten the job because he wasn't the best candidate, not because he chose to not pursue it.

The timing of it all strongly suggests that's the case, although that says nothing about the boy wonder's prospects as a future GM...

Well we keep getting people "stolen" from our front office and we keep replacing them. And the people we replace them with get "stolen" also. So we must have an incredible amount of talent in our front office and the ability to retrain our new hires. To me that suggests a well run machine by TT.

Who have we added lately? Not saying we haven't, I just haven't heard of anything really.
Just assumed we started with: TT, Dorsey, Schneider, McKenzie, Wolf, Highsmith, etc and now we have a few of them left.

Honestly, my preference would be to get Dorsey back just because he's actually built a solid roster already.

Or, we have an all world quarterback once again carrying his team on a playoff run...

GB is a hell of a lot more than ARod. Sure, I wouldn't want any other QB in the league to lead our team.

If it truly was ARod, why would any other team want someone in our front office? There is only 1 ARod and the chance of finding another is slim.

Look at what those 3 have done for their franchises. All 3 made the playoffs this year. Sea is on a multi-year playoff run and a Super Bowl win. McKenzie has turned Oakland from the laughing stock of the league to a contender.
