The Green Bay Packers announced Ted Thompson’s new role with the organization Tuesday morning — senior advisor to football operations.
The announcement went on with team president Mark Murphy saying nice things about Thompson and Thompson saying nice things about the Packers.
It’s a similar role to what Ron Wolf had at the end of his career. However, there appears to be one big difference. Wolf was all there and Thompson seems to be deteriorating mentally. The signs have come up repeatedly during the season.
They started with Thompson’s nonsensical press conference at the combine.
Make no mistake, this move is being made so Murphy doesn’t have to fire Thompson. He can just stash him away somewhere in the organization for a couple years until his contract runs out. It’s also a way of saying, hey, thanks for Aaron Rodgers and that Super Bowl.
Ive got sizzle.
Wait… wtf. Apparently MM got a one year extension during the season. I wonder what that means?
Probably that Ted had the feeling he might be dismissed, so he took care of his boy.
I dunno, it was only a one year extension. And why was it so hushed? I get the feeling that if it was announced as a one year extension it might have been a distraction for the team because there would have been questions about the hierarchy moving forward.
Pay McChickenNuggets off and make a run at Gruden. Just keep him away from personnel and the defense. He and Rodgers would have a fucking ball. Would be his dream job. Back to his coaching roots
Dude, Gruden being hired by the raiders is all but a done deal. Besides, I really don’t want a guy that has been out of the game for 10 years to coach this team.
Just listened to Mark Murphy…i’ll have more to say on that useless fuck in due time.
As far as the combine being the first signs of Ted losing it, i happen to have another bridge for sale, it’s called the Mackinac….e-mail me for details with PayPal account # and info.
Lmao.
