TT can be the new greeter at the pro shop
Just like the old guys that mumble “thank you for coming to Walmart”
they have to at least say they're doing a search because of the rooney rule. i don't think the choice is necessarily in the front office right now. they should do a search. a lot rides on this.
“May you live in interesting times”
Chinese Proverb (curse).
Wow! This is going to be an interesting and hopefully, exciting off-season.
I wonder if the front office restructuring will give anyone as much power as TT had here. When Thompson was in Seattle, he basically ran the draft, but it was other people who made the decisions on free agency and contracts.
The playmakers get identified by the scouts. The guy in charge of the draft has to sort through the detritus and find out which opinions make the most sense.
THEN arrange the draft board.
THEN decide who to pick or when to trade.
The best GMs are not all super scouts. Ozzie Newsmen worked the other side of the personnel department far longer than he worked college scouting.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Ted Thompson will not return as the GM of the Green Bay Packers but will remain with the team. The front office will go through a reorganization with team president Mark Murphy defining new roles for current members of front office, per league and team sources.

Russ Ball, Packers VP of football administration, player personnel director Brian Gutenkunst and possibly director of football ops Eliot Wolf are expected to have re-defined duties as Thompson moves to another role, per sources.
