    Murphy claimed during his press conference that it was a mutual decision. But that could mean almost anything.

    I was going to argue to hire McCloughan as scout at large to do much of this, but maybe Ted takes that torch and runs with it.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    I think Murphy knew he couldn't hold back Wolf and Gutey forever. I think he was able to convince TT that by giving up the GM job he could spend his time on the part of the job he likes best - Scouting.

    I don't think there was any convincing going on. Ted was ready to step out of the limelight.

    If anything, the move likely precipitated Wolf's exit from the front office.

    Oh I agree. But if he didn't make one of them GM this year, I think there was the risk of losing them both.

    Amazing with TT, Dorsey, McKenzie, Schneider, Wolfe, Gute. That’s almost 20% of the leagues GMs from TT regime. Boy, he really must of sucked to have everyone taking his people he was grooming to run franchises.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    Have you eliminated the Ron Wolf Tree ? Didn't most of those start under Wolf ?
    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 ?

    Those flowed from TT. TT served under Wolf in the 90s. I haven’t eliminated the Wolf tree. Just making the comment that for as shitty as some people here thought TT was at GM the people working for him have been highly sought after.
