[QUOTE="all about da packers, post: 136965, member: 227"] Are TT's ways really new school? TT often says that Wolf approached the draft the same way, getting more picks in the later rounds. TT even says that he believes in the roster build philosophy of Ron Wolf... I specifically remember TT saying that Ron Wolf also used to keep rotating a couple of spots on the 53 man roster to get looks at different players that may be able to do something down the line. The Pats have been quick to usher in a new era, one that was different from the Parcells era of 96. They got a new play guy in Scott Pioli, someone that brought a change in the style. Even Pittsburgh is quick to change it's ways, hiring a coach that differs from their 3-4 approach that won them the SB only one year ago. The point is that the teams that use the "new school" philosophy are ones that aren't scared to divert completely from their old ways. Bob Harlan didn't really do that. I'm not sure I remember any other names surrounding the GM search (I'm sure there were others though)... It seems though that Harlan went back to what used to work best, without really willing to take a risk and overhaul the front office and get in a new mindset with a new outlook. Of course I am playing the devil's advocate, hopefully it'll lead to somewhere productive. [/QUOTE]
