    GOTTA SAY THOUGH

    GOOTER IS WAY BETTER THAN CAPPIE GUY
    I got to someone other that Russ Ball as I thought more about it last evening before bedtime. I wanted to sleep on that. Take a break from Packerrats and watch Buffalo @ Jacksonville.

    Suddenly...Mae leaked that maybe a New Packer GM might have been named. I was surprised and went to Google before Packerrats.

    Questions?

    What TRUTHFULLY was going down and Houston and Brian Gutekunst?

    Was Eliot Wolf that far behind in the Interviews and Qualifications?

    It actually went down a day earlier than I expected although it was my analysis it had to go down ASAP; as I was paying a lot of attention to MM's behaviours. Why name the New GM Hire today?

    Did Packer President and CEO Mark Murphy hit the PANIC Button? If that's the case!? Who played any roles and that?

    Source: Packers hire Brian Gutekunst as new GM

    " The Houston Chronicle first reported Sunday that Gutekunst had taken the job. "

    The Houston Chronicle first reported ...?

    ? ... Why the Houston Chronicle?

    Brian Gutekunst an ‘outstanding hire' as Packers' new GM

    Ryan Wood, USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin

    " Gutekunst was chosen over fellow in-house candidates Russ Ball and Eliot Wolf, (Mark) Murphy also interviewed former Buffalo Bills general manager Doug Whaley, ensuring the Packers would comply with the league’s Rooney Rule requiring one minority candidate be considered

    A league source said Gutekunst, 44, was en route Sunday afternoon to Green Bay from Houston, where he was scheduled to interview for the Texans general manager vacancy.

    Murphy made sure his top target didn’t get away, reaching agreement on a five-year contract, according to reports."

    Do you really think this? If it was a planned transition, then sure. But if it wasn't, it sure sounds like he was given a token title and severance for a year.

    Yeah that element of it is unfortunate but statistically it has made a large difference in the hirings of African Americans.

    This is about as good as it gets if you can't get John Schneider. I have no preference between Eliot Wolf and Gutekunst because I don't know anything about either of them. Overall I'm very happy. I would have been fine with De Costa or Paton too, but keeping that connection to the Harlan era makes me happy. Respect your roots.
