BG gets emotional immediately, starts by thanking Jesus, his family, Murphy and Thompson in that order.
Thompson taught him discipline, thanks Wolf for letting him in the door. Also mentions the Big Four (JS, JD, RM, McCloughan)
Now parents, who really got short shrift here
Wants to get back to high level success. packers are cornerstone franchise and he is please to be here.
Murphy is not as funny as he thinks he is.
What is Packers way: excellence, people and winning. Process or system that is in place and worked here for a long time. Good answer.
How will he be different than Ted? Will retain core of draft, develop or retain. But may be more aggressive in other areas of player acquisition. Will actually be in running for FA and not on sideline.
No word on Eliot Wolf yet, BG wants him back. NBH says Wolf will be GM somewhere someday
Does NBH have authority to hire/fire coach? NBH says there are 13/14 teams with coach reporting to owner. Says practically they would consult either way, but he has final authority.
NBH will not veto player acquisition. He will not make football decisions (except HC).
NBH asked, if BG and RB handle players, what is M3 reporting on? NBH caught a little off guard, names "Game Plans" as first thing which probably is a surprise to M3. Then mentions games, coaches, strength coaches (probably under RB already). Not a very good answer. Doesn't seem well considered. As if this was worked out as a way for Mike to complain about player talent he needs. Murphy doesn't seem to know what else it would be about.
