The Packers have such a messed up system. Mark Murphy is Matt LaFleur’s direct boss. Murphy is also Gute’s direct boss. Under normal circumstances the GM is the head coaches boss. In the Packers case the two are disconnected. That disconnect is really showing itself on the field.
@Wisconsin_fam Bob Harlan should be in the Hall of Fame. If that structure was good enough for him it should be good enough for Mark Murphy.
@KJBD11 That was not the structure for him. It wasn’t the structure for Murphy until after TT. This system just went into place a few years ago. It always went president- GM- Head coach. Except when Mike Sherman was both Hc and GM
@Wisconsin_fam Yeah that's what I'm saying. Harlan hired Ron Wolf and gave him total control. He said making Sherman both HC and GM was a mistake and hired Thompson and gave him full control. Murphy should have followed Harlan's example but didn't.
@KJBD11 My bad I read it wrong. Yes I completely agree with you!
