Fire Mark Murphy?

I wasn't following along very well I guess.

I'm done using you as my tour guide. If I'm not careful you will lead me smack dab into the middle of a Joe Whitt Rally!

I heard he is running for mayor of Ashwaubenon.

Counter-productive? Only with pretzel logic. Cowboys are in first place and positioned to make the playoffs with QB Prescott and a beat up O-line. They are winning games and the Packers are not, your argument is pointless.

Let me see if I can simplify it for you: It's not his job.

Fire Mark Murphy the comments he made in his monthly column illustrate why he's not the right guy for the job

I agree. If he doesn't push to get a trade done and get that crybaby QB out of town the Packers will suffer.

Fire Capers. Fire Ted Thompson,
Fire McCarthy.. now Fire Murphy..

Folks I think we have an official common denominator

 

[thequick12]

I've never said fire Capers or TT...but Murphy is out of touch with his job how you gonna use a question in your monthly column that says that...bad business

This is 2 crybaby QBs fhof for Murphy as he was at the helm in 2008 as well

Where there is smoke there is fire....Murphy is part of Rodgers problem, so absolutely YES, poorly handled - and I have been saying this for quite a while, get rid of Murphy.

The only reason Murphy got the job is because none of the other 31 owners wanted him. He was blacklisted for his union involvement but since Green Bay has a unique ownership structure....

I hated the hiring at the time and I hate it more every year. He is essentially that new manager at work who has zero relevant experience but was hired because they have connections. We all know how that always turns out

he wanted ball..

Murphy wanted Ball as GM?

Murphy has done a tremendous job of putting the Packers in a sound financial situation since becoming the team president in 2007.

He shouldn't be involved in football decisions though.

I can't believe anybody can look at where they GB Packers are financially and think MMurphy wasn't qualified for the job and hasn't done a good job.

iirc right yes. Was a while ago cant recall what was told
to me

 

[longtimefan]

Jason wilde made a comment last week implying that Rodgers trusted Mark and thought he would have his back??
Not word for word but thats how I felt?

Murphy had the power to hire anyone he wanted. As I recall, TT wanted Ball to suceed him, is that what you may be thinking of? Or maybe there is a piece of the puzzle I don't know.

Murphy apparently did not agree with TT. Murphy said it came down to Wolf and Gute and when he reviewed their last few years of player evaluations, Gute stood out.

hogwash...look at the hand he was dealt. The crown jewel franchise of the NFL, huge tradition, nfl profit sharing. I can go on and on. Murphy has been average at best, and his communication skills obviously are not in the best interest of the organization.

What is he not communicating that you think he should be?

No one including Aaron Rodgers has a beef with what Murphy has done financially...it's his apparent lack of intelligence dealing with people. He couldn't get along with Favre, now he can't get along with Rodgers...

Everything is not about money in life...also you have to admit it's a lot easier to be a financial success when you have the benefit of a fhof qb who has been the face of the NFL for most of your tenure. I'm not saying Murphy would have for sure fallen on his face without that benefit. I'm just saying there's no argument that isn't a huge part of the teams ability to make money

Dude did you not see he quoted a question in his monthly column that said something like this...."don't let the bastards get you down" without referring to Rodgers by name and Murphy used that question to talk about Rodgers...who are you kidding if you think that's productive in this situation ?

 

[gopkrs]

this thread was about Murphy wanting Ball. Isn't that Murphy's decision? If he wanted Ball; wouldn't he have hired him?

I have to respectfully disagree with that. Ken (letter writer) was praising Murphy and encouraging him not to let the recent distractions drag him down. What other distraction do you think Ken was referring to? While Murphy didn't say anything new in his response, he has received a ton of letters about the Rodgers situation and this was merely the spot he chose to address all of those letters was all. Read it again....I posted it below.

Dear Mark: You have done a great job. Don't let the bastards drag you down. Washington needs a name. I suggest the Generals.

Thanks, Ken. The situation we face with Aaron Rodgers has divided our fan base. The emails and letters that I've received reflect this fact. As I wrote here last month, we remain committed to resolving things with Aaron and want him to be our quarterback in 2021 and beyond. We are working to resolve the situation and realize that the less both sides say publicly, the better. With regard to the Washington Football Team, it looks like they will be the WFT for at least one more year. I like the Washington Generals name, but it is already taken. Have you ever seen a Harlem Globetrotters game? Also, the Washington Generals don't have a very good record (1 win, 16,000 losses).

Allegedly he was told to fire Thompson by the BOD. Maybe he does what he is told to when the strings are pulled.
