This week I learned from one NFL source that at least a couple of members of the Packers’ executive committee are concerned about losing Wolf and want him promoted to GM this offseason. In that scenario, Thompson would become an area scout or take an advisory role. Thompson is under contract through the 2018 season

It would make me laugh if the Niners hired...Brian Gutekunst, and not Eliot Wolf.

Then what would we all think?

Could happen; the Niners are idiots.
Look at their history the past few years.
I'd get nothing in terms of a message out of that hire.
Plus, Wolf might not take that job even if it's offered because that situation if f'cked up.
And if he turns it down we won't know as it will be a PR spin.

Does anybody really know what Elliot Wolf's ideas are? Can we assume he is similar to Ted or to his dad? I really don't think a GM job is so much about competence as it is about philosophy. Like that poll choice "next man up", a lot of people are competent enough to be a GM in the NFL. I'm not gonna advocate for or against anybody without knowing how he plans to move forward in team building. I'd like to see a whole new direction from Ted; E. Wolf may be that new direction - or he may not. We the Fan Base may not know that stuff until some new guy gets entrenched.

I'd feel much better about the boy wonder if he were to go cut his teeth somewhere else for a while.

Yes he's like the only human alive whose been groomed from birth to be an NFL GM. But part of being GB royalty is being GB inbred. If he's really ready I hope he gets the offer; he can always make his way back home when Ted goes to pasture.

Too bad we can't have an election for our GM - debates, primaries, the whole shibang. Then, knowing what a guy at least says he would do, we vote.

Sure, have your cake and eat it too. Or something. But probably he is gone for good if he succeeds elsewhere.

I think if the Green Bay Politboro thinks Wolfe is the best choice for the future (nothing is guaranteed, but like marriage you gotta choose) pull the trigger. Which is to say execute Ted. Nice like, as Bretsky described.

That would be awesome !

It would also be awesome if we could hire John Schneider, John Dorsey, or Reggie McKenzie

But we probably can't

Wolfe wants to trade next years #1 for a backup QB somewhere. That's his plan.

[Joemailman]

I'm not much worried about it. The Packers GM job is one of the best jobs in the NFL. Whenever TT retires, I'm sure the Packers will have their choice of a number of talented people. Maybe from inside the organization, maybe from outside.

BRETSKY! PUT YOUR AVATAR NAME IN ALL CAPS PLEASE!

Why are they allowing Wolf and Gutekunst to interview? For the same reasons they allowed Schneider, McKenzie and Dorsey to interview.

Why now for Wolf and not last year? They did the same with McKenzie and, I think, Dorsey. I believe it has to do with their belief about the readiness of others to move into the positions of the departed. They lost their three top guys below TT not that long ago. Others (a second level, so to speak) moved up to replace them, and were in turn replaced by the next lower (3rd) level. If they fill Wolf or Gutekunst with an in-house promotion, it would be someone from that third level just a few years ago. They need to be ready to do so.
