[QUOTE="TJV, post: 590510, member: 4300"] Harlan has received his due from some of us. I for (just) one, have praised him many times for changing the structure of the organization – no small matter considering the power of the executive committee at the time and their proclivity to meddle. For example, I posted this within a few months of joining this board in 2011: “[I]Bob Harlan was the one to change the organizational structure of the Packers so that one person was in charge of all football operations. IMO that was the key to the turnaround. His hiring of the right man, Ron Wolf, confirmed how correct the change in structure was. Then Wolf hit a homerun with his choice of Holmgren, who put together a staff which has become his "coaching tree" in the league, including Reid, Gruden and others[/I].” [url]https://www.packerforum.com/threads/retiring-favres-4.22286/page-4#post-301998[/url] I was lucky, I became a Packers fan in the late fifties, shortly before Lombardi’s arrival.
