    I would personally throw Seattle a R4, bring Schneider home and call it a day. I am a huge fan of what Dorsey and Schneider have done, but the advantage goes to Schneider in my opinion.

    My first choice would be somebody not part of the organization now.
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    Observing the certain woes and the Seattle Seahawks and a decline this Season it seems a good time to bring John Schneider HOME to Green Bay.

    If things are going down hill in Seattle do we really want him right now?

    We had no one for likely the last 3-5 Seasons.

    Didn't you notice that?

    Paying attention is challenging.

    It's also challenging not being a condescending prick. But we're all working on it for 2018.

    Work on this.

    The Green Bay Packers are in a hot mess.

    That fact is way too obvious now as it's creeping out.

    What is it ZOOL.

    Can't you deal with the TRUTH?

    Seriously to keep on top of things takes a real commitment.

    That's 'in fact' challenging. At least, I find that's the case.

    Is the right hand man of Ozzie Newsmen still waiting for a job?

    I would seriously consider that guy. Eric DeCosta.

    wist wants a defense? That is your guy.

    But I think this is internal and the Packers will interview Highsmith to satisfy the Rooney Rule and hire Russ Ball. Wolf and Gutenkist will get new titles and raises, possibly one will be in charge of draft.

    I could live with the arrangement as long as Ball gets to hire and fire everyone.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Wow, this seems overstating it. At least one stays, and becomes the heir apparent with any ounce of good fortune:

    If Murphy chooses Ball, whose primary duties are negotiating contracts but who has been studying personnel evaluation under Thompson, he almost certainly would lose all three personnel men, a source familiar with the Packers' front office said.

    His hiring would signal to them that they had no chance of becoming general manager in Green Bay and would be better off elsewhere.

    I would agree; if you hire CapeyJoe those three leave with the middle finger raised to Mark Murphy
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    Kinda dumb. You go from being #3 or 4 in a four way with Ted to #2 with a cap guy. You want influence, you stay.

    If they all leave they are not all going to be GMs in the first year gone. Seems like reporter hyperbole.

    If they hire CapeyJoe over you ya gotta feel you are not valued in the organization. And obviously if hanging around has not benetitted them when Ted leaves why stay.

    " Seems like reporter hyperbole." pbmax

    YUP. These are Green Bay Packer Career Guys.

    If one is hired (internally) as the New Packer GM; and that might be the Legendary Packer GM Ron Wolfe's son Elliot Wolfe (?).

    Why would the other three all of a sudden in concert get miffed and leave Green Bay?

    Will one or more desire retirement?

    Is there any real reason to covet Packer Personnel people given Green Bay's results since winning the last Super Bowl?

    Nope !

    F'ck Russ Ball; might as well just go interview capologists

    Hire a personnel guy; the best one you can find to direct the best scouts you can find.

    I'll take Alonzo flippin Highsmith over Russ Ball and he'd be the 3rd guy in my preference out of the GB guys

    The Eagles guy Roseman is a former a capologist.

    Panthers guy (now Giants guy) Gettleman was a reporter. You need best decision maker, not the best scout.

    The Eagle guy knows personnel

    A reporter ? good idea....let's hire Bob McGinn; I'm more entertained by him than CapeyJoe
