Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scotland Yard" data-source="post: 990640" data-attributes="member: 5934">I believe Ron Wolf publicly admitted it was perhaps his biggest mistake hiring Rhodes instead of Reid.Likewise, Wolf blew it again a year later by hiring Mike Sherman instead of Marty Schottenheimer (who wanted the job). Between 1986 and 1997 Schottenheimer posted nine double-digit winning seasons as HC at CLE and KC, including 13 win seasons in 1995 and 1997. His fatal flaw was losing three AFC Conference Championship games, so, Wolf tried Sherman instead. Sherman never even made it past the divisional round.I've always mused over what might have been if Favre had Reid or Schottenheimer, and a WR like say...Randy Moss. In 1998 Wolf traded up from #29 to #19 and drafted DE Vonnie Holliday. Moss went two picks later to MIN. Holliday was a good player, but, never made a pro bowl...Moss of course is a Hall of Famer. I was furious that day as I believed Moss was a top-five pick who had fallen into the Packers' lap and was the reason they traded up. Alas, Ron Wolf wanted a replacement for the aging Reggie White.Much like the Packers did with Rodgers, they just refused to use high draft assets on WR's, thereby wasting most of two Hall of Fame QB's careers.Anyway, hard to imagine Reid, Favre and Moss together in GB not capturing a Super Bowl ring or two.</blockquote>
