[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 857732"] Maybe. McCarthy will be interviewing for the HC job in Cleveland. There might be a cause and effect there, maybe coincidence. But behind that speculation lies a question I asked when Wolf was in Green Bay and I'll ask it again now: What's the evidence that Wolf is any good as a talent evaluator, a roster builder, or that he has the temperament to run a shop, especially this shop chock-o-block with bad actors, big mouths, look-at-me brand builders and wannabe celebrities? You can get away with that stuff if you're winning; cleaning up the sh*t that hit the fan with losing is a big job that will take a few years and in the mean time these cats must be herded. Building a winning culture requires both special talents and temperament. Insiders who have worked with Wolf would have an idea if there's anything there. The Packers preferred Gutekunst. The Browns may have a similar perspective with respect to Wolf vs. other candidates. Who his father is doesn't count for much. Talent often skips a generation. Has anybody seen those scouting reports he was writing when he was ten years old? For all we know they were written in crayon. Prodigy or stuffed shirt? Who can tell? Insiders maybe, not us. Whatever hand Wolf might have had in those last five or so Thompson drafts would not be a credential to brag about. Or were Wolf's table-pounding recommendations that were passed over go on to wild success elsewhere? Who knows? [/QUOTE]
