    I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.

    lol. Belichick is responsible for most of Parcell's success. Plus the cost for the manziers alone is prohibitive.

    I thought Russ Ball was a serious candidate......

    "Former colleagues from the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints see Russ Ball – the Green Bay Packers vice president of football operations and player finance and the secret weapon of Ted Thompson’s front office staff– as a future general manager in the NFL."

    "Ball, 57, has been with the Packers since 2008. Before being hired by Thompson in Green Bay, Ball served 10 years with the Chiefs and six more with the Saints – with a few short stops with the Washington Redskins and Minnesota Vikings in between."

    In my rush to take a shot at Eliot Wolf, some may have inadvertently been left out.

    Feel free to vote Other.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    I read somewhere but can't find it now that Russ Ball is the top candidate.
    However, last January PFT wrote this article which put Dorsey as the leading candidate, and now that Dorsey has been canned by the Chiefs you'd have to think the odds have changed:

    "There are a number of factors at play here. Thompson’s contract runs through the 2018 NFL draft, though there has been some speculation he could walk away if the Packers win the Super Bowl.

    Dorsey, who came up through the ranks with the Packers, also has a contract through the 2018 draft. And the work he’s done with the Chiefs has certainly been good enough to merit an extension, if he wanted it. But if Thompson were to leave after this season, the Chiefs could prevent Dorsey from returning to Green Bay, where he played five seasons and worked in personnel from 1991 to 2012, with one year in Seattle stuck in between."

    Don't think so. Belichick has failed franchises, parcells has not. Although he got just a bit less focused and successful each step so I am more being sarcastic. Man is far too old and non committed at this point.

    I would say hang in there a few more years ted and Schneider might become available.

    Belichick has only failed in Cleveland. That shouldn't count.

    Ok, you get one strike an outlier and I get one. New England doesn't count either.
