Persistence pays off and determination certainly did for The Seattle Seahawks GM John Schneider (now just 42 years of age. While in college, Schneider wrote a letter to then Packer GM Ron Wolf; asking for an opportunity as a volunteer scout. Wolf replied with a rejection letter.
After he tried again, and more trying to become a Green Bay Packer Scout. Ron Wolfe finally allowed him an internship in Wolf's scouting department for the summer of 1992.
The rest led to a long relationship with the Green Bay Packers and more recent Packer history. Then in the Seattle Seahawks called John Schneider today's huge Super Bowl game for the team he and his Head Coach Pete Carroll built.

** 2010 ... 2010–present Seattle Seahawks GM
** "Together, Seattle GM John Schneider and Seahawks HC Pete Carroll have formed an unusual approach to signing, drafting and trading for players.

** " People in Green Bay and fans of the Packers love to hate the Seattle Seahawks after the infamous Fail Mary play in the 2012 meeting between the two teams.
Yet there’s a segment of them who likely will be rooting for the Seahawks against the Denver Broncos on Sunday in Super Bowl XLVIII. They’re the ones who know John Schneider, the Seahawks’ 42-year-old general manager whose ties to this city and his old team run deep." FROM LINK
** " Schneider’s foundation is rooted in Ron Wolf’s style and beliefs and managing an NFL Team. He and Pete Carroll have forged their own identity as one of the most aggressive and compatible coach-GM combinations in the league. John Schneider still calls on what he learned from Wolf and current Packers general manager Ted Thompson, another Wolf protégé."
** “I think there’s a lot of Ron (Wolf) in this just because of the philosophical foundation of how you approach acquisitions,” Schneider said. “So I think it’s huge.”
** " There are plenty of people who wonder whether Schneider will be the Packers' next general manager. Thompson turned 61 on Jan. 17 and some within the organization believe he may walk away after his contract expires following the 2015 season."
GO PACKERS ! GO PACK GO !!
