RON WOLF------Admitted Biggest Mistake ?????

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Easily. Still so odd nearly 6 years later. Fortunately, he made it right with Chryst.

I ain’t give fucks about the Flagship University’s football program anymore, partly b/c the Flagship U refuses to recruit Black QBs, but mostly b/c, as a burger-flipping loser, watching youths dance in the rye pains me with my bygone youth. That being said, according to Wiki, Wisconsin ain’t won shit under Chryst.

No, winning Brazzers Dot Com bowls ain’t da shit. Da shit is inbred ‘Bama winning the BCS Bowl time and time again.

Alvarez’s biggest mistake was not giving me a scholarship, despite the fact that I shut down Darren Charles in a high school game.

I told a story about meeting the luxury automobile, but I have held the story about Alvarez tight to my vest. I met him and asked what his biggest regret was.

"Well bobble, I had a chance to recruit this skinny white CB who shut down Darren Charles once. I looked at him and said to myself "self, a skinny 5'8" white kid ain't gonna cut it in D1" It was a mistake, just like not recruiting black QBs...except for that short kid named Russell who I thought would be a better baseball player"

Direct quote. Take it to the bank. I think Barry is in therapy and rehab for his racial stereotyping ways.

Barry didn't recruit Russell.

[QBME]

you and me both

The good news is I did.
The other news is I have the insides paying for it these days.

And BTW it was maybe the last blast when Pete banged it on a Les Paul before The Stratocaster sponsorship machine took over.

I dedicate this tangent to red.

One of the best live preformances I ever saw was ac/DC.

The biggest disappointment I ever saw was the rolling stones.

And they were back to back at sarsfest in 2003.

You can see me in the acdc clip. Not up close. My wife was pregnant at home in Saskatchewan. I was away on training at cfb Borden.

She saw me a couple people away from the one girl flashing her boobs.

Yes I was in shit.

Wasn't he the athletic director? I think he was involved. However I don't really get into college that much, so maybe not.

Yes, he's AD, but that was a Bielema/Chryst recruitment.

Wolfs biggest mistake was allowing Holmgren to leave over him wanting to be a GM, then retiring 2 seasons later making Mike Sherman GM/Coach. He should have told Holmgren he was retiring very soon and he could transition into the position with Green Bay instead of allowing him to leave and go the Owl with the Seahawks.

No mention of that trade with the Seahawks in 2001?

Ron Wolf traded the 17th overall pick in 2001 with Matt Hasselbeck to the Seahawks for 2001 1st round pick (tenth overall) and 2001 3rd round pick (72nd overall). Seahawks took left guard Steve Hutchinson with that first round pick. Uh, All Pro left guard Steve Hutchinson.

So the Packers give up a guy who would go on to be a rock-solid starting quarterback for many years for the Seahawks, and another guy who became an All-Pro left guard, in exchange for - hold your breath! - Jamaal Fucking Reynolds (and they traded up for him) and Torrance "Clueless" Marshall?

Ron Wolf got raped on that one.

Organizationally, not hiring Reid was probably worse, but this one has to be top-three at least.

The trade wasn't the problem. The trade made sense. Hasselbeck wasn't going to start for the Packers. And Wolf wasn't going to trade for Hutchison because he had Wahle and Rivera at Guard. Reynolds, on the other hand, was maybe his biggest draft mistake. Wolf deserves all the credit he gets for reviving the Packers franchise, but he had some major misses with 1st round picks.

Oof. GMs, all of them, look like dumb asses in hindsight once or twice. Wolf had some sick blunders. That tops most of TTs or Guteys.

I would have loved to see ac/dc

I like a ton of stones songs, but I would never go see them live I haven't seen a live video of them yet where they didn't sound like a jr high talent show band. Mick can't sing for shit and richards can't play for shit. I don't know if they were good just because of editing or engineering or if it was a milli vanilli type thing, but they are horrible live

Always thought Wolf should trade 1st and 2nd round picks to get as many 3rd rounders as possible. Then trade up from 4th -6th to get another 3rd. Keep the 7th rounders even if there was only one Donald Driver.

Wolf's 3rd round picks:
Tyrone Williams
Mike McKenzie
Brian Williams
Mike Flannigan
Willie Henderson
Gabe Wilkims
Earl Dotson
Robert Brooks

That's a big part of the SB and a lot of snaps in that crowd.

Well, it wasn't the trade, per se, but what he did with the trade. That was zero return on Hasselback and the 17th overall pick.

A stinker. Up there with anything bad TT did, and Wolf is seen as a God around here, while TT I think does not get that much respect.

A ham sandwich is heaven when you are starving and meh when your full. Same sandwich different outcome.
Kinda like me this offseason after back to back 14-3 nfccg years.
