How dysfunctional are the 49er's? Hiring John Lynch as the GM with no experience sounds like a disaster. No wonder Eliot Wolf didn't get the job. He probably gave an interview to Jed York that would be consistent with a sane GM.

One of the Detroit papers actually hunted Matt Millen down to get his reaction to the Lynch hiring. It was almost painful to read.
But in a world where a failed TV host with zero political experience can be elected president of the United States, what the hell?
At this rate, Tank could be selected as the next Packer GM.
has a pretty good sense of humor. cracked a couple of jokes during his pressers that had guys laughing.
Bump.
So, is Eliot out the door now? He's still under contract. Do you think Dorsey or McKenzie might try and get him to move on (assuming the Packers let him out of his contract)?
The tricky part of hiring the HOF GM's son is that while he might have the same type of aptitude his father has for football operations, this moment always loomed. Will they hire Eliot (partially) because he's Ron's son and Ron was instrumental to the re-birth of the Packers? If those were ever the expectations, that's tricky. If he's the best guy for the job, that's one thing, but nothing should artificially give Eliot the advantage, even if Ron is so important to the Packers.
I hope he's not upset with the current Packers brass. You want your son to be successful in his own right, not because you paved the way for him.
i hope he stays but can't blame him if he leaves later when something else comes up.

VERY DISAPPOINTING THREAD
When I jumped in I actually believed it was real time news

Eliot Wolf, who is in Cleveland interviewing with GM John Dorsey today, also has an offer to join Reggie McKenzie/Jon Gruden in Oakland, per a source. That's on top of the Packers' offer for him to be new GM Brian Gutekunst's right-hand man in Green Bay.

You thought Eliot Wolf would stay in Green Bay !?
I didn't dig for this Thread. It was already up on the 1st Page with (his name on it). Rather than creating a new Thread I just dumped the LINK on it.
How much would you bet that Eliot Wolf would stay in Green Bay?
I'd lay 3-1 on $1K American he leaves for Greener Pastures one time, with anyone I know.

How a 2005 NFL mock draft helped the Packers get Aaron Rodgers
It doesn't look like anyone is interviewing Wolf for GM. But maybe he needs to leave anyway to get out of GB, get some varied experience so he looks more attractive for a future GM spot.
Sometimes people interview laterally like this to increase the offer from back home...
