I guess Rayner being cut by the Chiefs is a bigger scoop? No opinions on who will be guiding our franchise from the Packer faithful??

[HarveyWallbangers]

Give it more than 10 minutes before whining about no replies.

I don't know anything about the guy, so I don't have any thoughts. This guy could be the hard hitting, bald safety that played for the Pack as far as I know.

[Farley Face]

Do I need to start a "get your customized Redskins Mark Murphy Jersey" thread to get a response?

[Farley Face]

You are right Harv, my bad. I'll go back to trolling.

[HarveyWallbangers]

No, keep posting, but this is a dead period of the night. It looks like you, me, and numb are the only ones online right now. I'm pretty sure people will have plenty to say about this. This is a big decision.

Is this guy a "Green Bay guy?"

[HarveyWallbangers]

BTW, I hope it is a good omen.

This is interesting; honestly I'm kind of surprised this was the best guy they could find experience wise. Maybe Reinfeldt was a pipe dream and the Texans were not going to give him the opportunity. But I'd be surprised if we hired a guy that lacked some more intense NFL background and experience

Bob Harlan has stated a few times that he has always felt it was very important to hire somebody with loads of background and experience in the NFL. Based on candidates being discussed I'm not sure the search committee would agree with that assertion.

Bob McGinn implies the Packers brass were keeping Harlan out of the interview process and selection process for the most part and he verbally stated in his opinion this was a big mistake. If this is the case I'm completely agree.

Concern is the new committee w/o Harlan becomes medlers in how the Packers are run.

Hopefully that will not occur

[MJZiggy]

The fight over whether he gets approved will be interesting to watch, then again since no one knew a thing about the selection process, I imagine we won't hear much about the approval/disapproval either. I think I'd have liked to see Wied get it.

I never heard they wanted a guy with "intense" NFL experience. This guy is the former Redskins safety, so it's not like he doesn't have any experience with the NFL.

Stop being a nitpicker

Does this guy have NFL office experience or was he just a player

Torkelson, Barty Smith, Paul Ott Carruth; if we're just going to hire a player lets' find a guy with some roots

[Tyrone Bigguns]

I hate him already. What has he done for the pack so far? He is just doing nothing.

I don't care what he does cause if he doesn't reach the personal benchmarks i've established for him then he is a LOSER.

I kinda thought Harlen meant front office experience but he did say NFL experience.....so the fact he played fits that criteria.......and it is the Redskins Murphy not the Packer one, not that that matters much.

[RashanGary]

He seems pretty qualified to me. Hopefully he meets Ted Thompson and realized he knows what he's doing. Hopefully he's a guy that stays out of football opperations like Harlan did.
