Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Rastak !
You scooped all the Packer fans.
Impressive !
** I went to bed last night and thinking of what I've learned observing Accountants. (** see bottom of this Post)
Before retiring I was thinking if Mark Murphy went with Russ Ball we risked 'no real change' after TT. It has come out that Russ Ball actually held the Green Bay Packer Purse Strings. Russ Ball made the financial or CAP Management and Contract decisions.
Now hopefully with the Personnel Guy; we get our Roster upgraded not with advice to an Accountant; but with front line decision making.
Brian Gutekunst was likely going to be a more popular choice than Russ Ball overall and the Green Bay Packers Organization and in Packer Nation.
(YES !) Packerrats, the Packer fans do count. We might even hang onto Russ Ball; and most likely now lose Eliot Wolf. With the Russ Ball hire; we might have lost both Eliot Wolf and Gutekunst.

** Have you ever attended a Social Function with a bunch of Accountants present? It's difficult for an all round Guy as I am; to drink socially in the same room as them. There are some accountants that are regular fellas but put 4-6 of them together and Moses !
These Accounting Guy's actually drink with their bottled Beer and glass's, and Cocktails held against their Upper torsos their, so fricken Anal. Gert one or two with a regular bunch of Lad's and I suppose they can act like 'just one of 'the Boys'!?
As Aaron Rodgers would likely say: Just R. E. L. A. X.
Congratulations Packer GM Brian Guteckunst.

Before hiring Brian Gutekunst as GM, the Packers also interviewed Eliot Wolf, Russ Ball and Doug Whaley. There may have been others, but those are the known interviews for sure.
Perfunctory is the word that comes to mind. And Mike Sherman's promotion to GM is the closest parallel.

We had a nickname for coach Gutekunst at MN, but it's totally inappropriate - even here.

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

I scanned through five pages of posts, and this one made the most sense.
It woulda been all out stupid to give up a draft pick to get Schneider; If there's any truth to McCarthy and Rodgers campaigning against Ball, it woulda been dumb to choose him.
Gutekunst starts out fresh. I HOPE he departs significantly from Ted's way of doing things, specifically his steadfast refusal to go after top quality free agents. The only negative about the guy IMO is that, not having been a GM before, we have to take it on faith that he will change policy that way.
Hiring from within and hiring probably the least touted of the current people probably indicates a commitment to stay with McCarthy until he is ready to retire or if it became obvious to get rid of him. I'm ok with that - I'm not that fired up about McCarthy's way of doing things, but his hallmark is playing not to lose, which far more often than not, results in winning, even if the win is less spectacular than it might have been.
So let's get used to Gutekunst - he probably will be the Packers GM for the next 20 or so years.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
