[QUOTE="TJV, post: 541024, member: 4300"] IMO one of the main jobs of the executive committee is to stay out of [I]football[/I] decisions. Before Lombardi and then during the “dark ages” one of the biggest problems with the Packers was interference by board members who didn’t know much about football. That’s why I view Harlan’s decision to create the position Wolf filled, or to infuse it a lot of power regarding football operations was a watershed moment in the history of the Packers. Its been reported that Lombardi wouldn’t have taken the Green Bay job if he weren’t also given the power of the GM. And the same with Wolf, he wanted the power needed to rebuild the team. It’s no accident success followed both hires. We can argue about who fills the various positions in Green Bay but I hope we keep the current structure in place. IMO, the executive board should evaluate the job the president and CEO (Murphy) is doing. The president and CEO should evaluate the job the GM/VP of football operations (Thompson) is doing and he should hire and fire the HC. And I would prefer the GM and HC jobs not be merged again. That we haven’t heard much about the executive committee is good news that I hope continues. [/QUOTE]
