It was posted by MarkLawrence who has a great rep and doesn't post rumors often.

You will recall that I don't routinely post rumors.

My sources tell me that our new President is *not* pleased. Jones was close to Sherman, and reputedly was not satisfied with how he was handled and fired.

A team that goes 12-4, 12-4, 10-6, 10-6, then you hire a new GM, then 4-12, then yesterday. . . one cannot help but ask questions.

If the Packers do no better this year than last, don't be surprised if our new President decides he would like to choose his own management team.

I think this team should finish the last six games strongly. It's a relatively easy schedule, and that will give our new guys time to get with the program. If they don't finish strongly, TT, who considers this "just a job," could well be replaced with another guy who "bleeds green and gold."

All I can say is WOW.

Shouldn't even give him the whole year. It's becoming pretty apparent that he's not doing what most consider is the best for the Pack, and after last years draft, and now this years, give him till mid-season and that's enough

[Partial]

I don't buy that.

Speculation, nothing more.

[packinpatland]

Alot of things have been put into motion based on 'speculation'

blah blah blah...won't happen. what people forget is how much power Bob Harlan stil actually holds...he might not have a fancy title after his name, but this team still has bob harlans name on it.

Harlan

Talk about someone needing to be held accountable..........

ok, heres a little tip for those of you who don't go to packerchatters too much

before that site got deleted, i did a lot of posting over there. and there were a lot of rumors posted from people that claimed they had inside info. some people were pretty credible, other were very questionable.

one thing a lot of us took from all the rumors were that, even if the source is credible, and even if there source is credible, that doesn't mean that the info is any good

i'm sure the new pres isn't going around 1265 throwing a fit yelling that if the team isn't improved then TT is gone. so its either a rumor inside 1265 that made its way out, or its bs

just take every rumore with a grain of salt, no matter where you get it from, or who tells it to you

It's more fun taking rumors seriously and acting like you have more info then everybody else.

The new Prez is rehabbing coming off quadruple by-pass surgery.

I doubt he'll be generating any earth shattering changes this year.

He might want to put his stamp on the team sometime, but not in the near future.

TT is not RW. He is NOT handling the Packers the same way that RW did. RW's responsibility was to make the Packers a winner. TT has done nothing, I repeat NOTHING that will make the Packers a winner TODAY or TOMORROW! It will be 2008-09 before we can safely say that we are contenders and by that time all of these rookies and young vets will have bigger salary demands and we will not be able to afford them all! It's okay to build through the draft however NOT WITH 28 players with 2 years or less experience! You take a HOF QB and surround him with College talent, name a turnkey coach that you hold the reigns on, WTF do YOU think is going to happen? TT thinks he owns the Packers, he doesn't. The fans will get restless and the Prez. WILL have to do something. Watch if Lambeau doesn't sell out, see how many changes happen.

I don't know if there is anything to it or not. However, Thompson is now in the situation that Sherman was in when Thompson was made GM. He has a boss who did not hire him, and you never know if the boss thinks much of him or not. If the team improves as the season goes on, I think Thompson and McCarthy are safe. However, if the team implodes and finishes along the lines of 2-14, anything is possible.

And what if Koren Robinson flames out. Let's say he gets into a drunk driving accident. That king of PR disaster combined with a miserable 2-14 season could send TT packing.

I thought Harlan involved Jones in the decision to hire TT because he knew they would have to work together? That was the story at the time. It was to avoid the "he's not my guy" situation.

I believe you're right, Patler. It's not like John Jones has been hiding in a cave with Bearman all this time. He's been in the loop.
