    " Murphy disputed reports that the publicly-owned Packers’ board of directors pressured him to remove Thompson as GM, saying there was “absolutely no truth to the story that I was directed by the board to make a change. … It was my decision to move the way we have and working with Ted.” ..."

    This Is my belief; and MM and TT mutually chatted on this before moving this way

      Ok. So why is Ball against FA as well?
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        Aaron Nagler reported that he heard from one board member that the question of Thompson's health was raised and urged Murphy to move on if it interfered with the job. Murphy assured them it didn't. No orders given. But who knows what they talked about between the two of them.

          Other than not talking to the public, what did Thompson do to get that description?

          These Packer beat writers must chat with many; they have noted both candidates often came to TT with aggressive ideas they favored that were boycotted. If you believe what they say via radio both candidates will feel a greater sense of urgency

              Sure sounds like Ball is the guy, at least if the reports are correct. This will be interesting as he is pretty much a complete unknown. He's certainly worked his way up and everyone who has worked with him has come away impressed. We know literally nothing of his personnel experience though. If promoting him means losing Gutekunst and Wolf I'm not sure it's worth it. Would we be going into FA/the draft without our top 3 evaluators?

              Last thought - if Eliot Wolf's name was Eliot Smith I have to imagine people wouldn't feel nearly as strongly about him as they do.
              I love Eliott Smith. Saved my soul.

              Now I have to go listen to Either/Or.

              • I absolutely don't want a "cap guy" as GM - has to be a "football guy", who then gets sound cap advice from a bean counter like Ball.

                My guess is it will be Ball, and Green Bay will never see a FA again.

                      Yes...I'll be surprised if they don't do all they can to screw it to blazes.

                      In Green Bay isn't it a high priority to maintain 'the Comfort Zone Club'?

                        Urgency about free agents is not urgency about winning. It’s an option with risks all its own.

                        And it doesn’t explain the iron fist nonsense. Ted was in charge and if he wanted to do something he did. Or did not.

                          TT and MM had a talk at end of last year and TT noted his true passion was with scouting.

                          Many felt like the plan was in place and Murphy had no interest in John Dorsey or he'd have given a heads up.

                          Many around GB feel the choice was made before the interviews and it's Russ ball and it's based off of TT's preference
                          So unadulterated speculation?

                          Ted has talked about his first love being scouting since he was hired. He mentioned it publicly many times.

                            The rest originally come from the Ron Wolf Tree
                            Why isn’t Ball a true disciple of Schottenheimer, Redman or Loomis?

                            They all hired him before Ted.

                            Ball is no more disciple than the others to Ted. If he gets the job, I bet it’s more due to Murphy trusting him than Teds choice of successor. Murphy has been handing Ball more responsibility for years.

                              I am looking for that Reference to TT 'running the show with an Iron Fist'.

                              I read it somewhere yesterday. I'm reading a lot of stuff.

                              There's a lot at stake here and they better get it right.

                                Do you have any idea what his philosophy is? It’s also been reported that Ball pushed the FA push last year.
