Packers' Best Interest Would Be to Keep Eliot Wolf in Town
If you're sitting somewhere within the confines of 1265 Lombardi Avenue and your name is Eliot Wolf, it's probably hard not to hold back any subtle animosity towards the team whose front office you've served for almost 14 years.
Wolf, who first ventured onto the Green Bay Packers' personnel staff in 2004 as a pro personnel assistant, has steadily been promoted and risen through the ranks of the front office. As the son of Hall of Fame general manager, Ron Wolf, he's expected to eventually stumble upon an open general manager job somewhere in the league, whether in Green Bay or elsewhere.
The opportunity came and passed for the former, as the team announced Brian Gutekunst as the successor to Ted Thompson, who was transitioned into a new role as the Packers' senior advisor to football operations.
Just in his 13-year tenure with the team alone, Wolf had the early makings of someone that was being groomed to be the next general manager for the Packers. It's why the Packers blocked him from interviewing with the Detroit Lions during the 2016 offseason, and why Wolf returned to Green Bay despite being a hot commodity for the San Francisco 49ers' general manager position in early 2017.
When Gutekunst was promoted to the director of player personnel for the Packers in 2016, his immense scouting background and his own path through the team's front office made him one of the more lesser-talked about candidates as Thompson's next-in-line.
Now, Gutekunst wants to retain Wolf, but there's a good chance Wolf is joining John Dorsey, who played for the Packers for six years before spending a total of 21 seasons in the front office, in Cleveland where he now commandeers the Browns as general manager.
"I would envision him kind of being a right-hand man to me," said Gutekunst during his introductory press conference on Monday. "We have a great relationship. I'm very fond of the person -- and the scout is excellent. I've told him that, I really want him to be here. But, I also know he has other opportunities and I wouldn't hold him back from that because I care about him."
The ball would be seemingly in Wolf's court on whether he wants to stick around in Green Bay or join former Packers senior personnel executive Alonzo Highsmith, who was brought on as the Browns' vice president last week.
If Wolf chooses to remain in Green Bay where his father spent 11 seasons and won a Super Bowl, he likely won't be in consideration to succeed Gutekunst as general manager for quite some time. It'd be perfectly understandable if Wolf chooses to pursue other endeavors.
"We've been talking through this whole thing," Gutekunst continued. "Like I said, he's a friend and we do have a very good relationship. I talked to him multiple times and will continue to see where it goes."
The obvious preference would be to keep Wolf around. An ideal, potentially best-case scenario for the Packers would to have the duo of Gutekunst and Wolf taking the reins of roster decisions, as Gutekunst as full control. Wolf, who is just 35-years-old, is expected to have a more present-day state of ideology when it comes to building a championship roster.
Of course, it wouldn't hurt to have his father in his ear, who told ESPN's Rob Demovsky over the weekend that the Packers "don't think he's worthy or they would've hired him."
The evident disappointment would make it unsurprising if Wolf did choose to go to the Browns, who are expected to interview him on Tuesday.

Tough choice for Elliot. He can make a name for himself in Cleveland, or go down with the next ship there. Or he can stick in GB with better job security and expand his skill set to maybe start dabbling on the contract side, thus improving his resume so he can pretty much chose whatever prime GM position comes open 2 or 3 years down the road.
He's a smart cookie that one. Question is, how big is his ego and how bad of a beating did it just take? Can he roll with the punches and keep on keeping on, is he a fold up the tent and move on kinda guy???

Right. IF (and only if) EW can truly work for BG without bitterness, it would be great for GB to keep him for at least this year. He's probably not going to be getting a GM job this year.
If not, I hope he goes to OAK and succeeds.

January 09, 2018 at 04:19 pm
He'd be an idoit not to stay. Now he can work with BG and negotiate some terms like "you will not deny interviews". If he goes to Clevelend he losses all of that leverage beacuse they have no reason to agree to it.

I'd say the opposite jeremyjbrown. Ever since he has been in Green Bay, his name has got in his way, because of what his dad did in Green Bay. He rose high in Green Bay, but his best opportunity is probably elsewhere.
In Cleveland he has the chance to step out of his fathers long shadow and be considered on his own merits.

Wolf also has an offer from Oakland to join McKenzie and Gruden.
He is in high demand now. Can't blame him for at the very least looking.
I hope he returns. But its not surprising that he is getting a lot of interest now.
dobber

Could be it says is that his presumptive state as the heir apparent to TT kept teams at bay? Could be other teams see an opportunity?
There was speculation that the relationship between Gutekunst and Wolf was good enough that they could work together when changes happened...but most of the speculators assumed that Wolf would be the one promoted and Gutekunst would have to be the one to "swallow his pride".
I ask whether or not a lateral move to play second fiddle under a different GM is going to help him to become a GM somewhere else any sooner? Whatever the case, if he's as good as he supposedly is, you have to hope they can keep him in town for awhile, yet.
RCPackerFan
January 09, 2018 at 03:42 pm
Well the Packers did block Wolf 3 times from interviewing with teams.
I'd imagine the fact that they kept blocking him and then passed over on him for the GM job really has added to the fire.
I hope the relationship is good enough. Gutekunst said he has an offer for him to stay. Wolf has an offer to be Gutekunst's right hand man. What that means or what position that is I have no idea, but its still a good offer.
IMO, he needs to not put emotion into it. He needs to take a breath and figure out what is the best thing for him. Hopefully its in GB.
I think he will be a GM as fast by staying in GB then elsewhere.

Correct. He was said to be the Lions front runner, but the Packers blocked him from interviewing.

Last year both was interviewed by SF. Brian was almost hired, but he pulled himself from further negotiations. Eliot Wolf was not contacted after interview...

Per Aaron Nagler on Twitter:
'Wolf was reportedly the favorite for the Lions job and the Packers blocked him from interviewing. The also blocked him from interviewing with the Eagles. All so they could not hire him to be GM. I'd want to burn the place down.'
I did read somewhere else he was blocked 3 times from interviewing. I can't find it though.

I agree with what you say RC but how in the hell can he take emotion out of it? The man was blocked, blocked, and blocked some more and now has been passed over for the position. Hey maybe these guys are that strong mentally. I'd be PISSED and it would be nearly impossible for me to stay, especially if I had to see Thompson's ass around there everyday since he was the one who kept denying me.

But these are all lateral moves, not promotions.
RCPackerFan
January 09, 2018 at 05:48 pm
Correct, lateral moves.
But who knows how upset he is with GB and whether he wants to be here anymore. By them blocking him in the past from opportunities to become a GM elsewhere, and then not getting it this time, perhaps he is just done with the Packers? Wants out.
I mean that can happen with anyone at their current job. Get past over for promotions, get told you can't do something you might like to do.
In all honesty, he should go out and take a look at what other teams have to offer and say. But if I were him, unless I was offered something that GB couldn't, I would likely stay. Gutekunst told him he would be his right hand man, whatever that means. Maybe assistant GM? That could be a great gig. With Gutekunst now running the show perhaps Wolf would have a lot more input, which would also be a very good thing! Also that would give himself another year or 2 and then take on a GM position.
I get he wanted to be a GM and for the Packers, but obviously they felt right now wasn't his time and Gutekunst was more ready for the job. Maybe he simply isn't ready yet. Give him a little more time and he will be. I hope he takes the emotion out of it and makes a clear decision. Not just making one in the heat of the moment because he didn't get the job.
rdent
January 09, 2018 at 06:45 pm
RC, like I posted in a prior thread, I wouldn't blame him if he took the best position out of GB. How could he not be a bit resentful? He was blocked several times for GM opportunities and when that job opened in GB they passed over him. At least Gutekunst won't keep Wolf handcuffed if he wants to move on.
RCPackerFan
January 09, 2018 at 06:52 pm
Definitely. I mean you have to feel for him.
Like I said to I hope he doesn't make an emotional decision, because that would cloud his judgement.
I hope he stays, but wouldn't blame him if he were to leave.
fthisJack
January 09, 2018 at 07:41 pm
emotional decision? its as obvious as the nose on his face he has no future in GB so why wouldn't he look to expand his resume and make new connections that will help him in his future endeavors. its pretty much a no brainer and emotion doesn't have anything to do with his decision. he will be gone and its too bad. wish the best for him.
RCPackerFan
January 09, 2018 at 11:48 pm
What future or further opportunities does he have in Oakland or Cleveland that he wouldn’t have in GB? He wouldn’t have any higher of a position outside of GB then what his current role in GB would be. At least not with those 2 teams.
Oakland has McKenzie and Cleveland has Dorsey. They aren’t going away anytime soon. Well Dorsey may in a couple of years because their ownership is horrible. Either way he will have as good of a chance to get a GM staying in GB as he would leaving.
dobber
January 10, 2018 at 08:48 am
What if he goes to Cleveland and end up UNDER Alonzo Highsmith? What if you're Highsmith and went to Cleveland to be #2 only to find that a guy ahead of you is hired and now you're #3? You could go to Oakland and be, essentially, #3 behind Gruden and MacKenzie.
RCPackerFan
January 10, 2018 at 10:31 am
Wolf is going to Cleveland to be their number 2 man. Which was what he would have been in GB per reports.
So it does raise the question, how does Highsmith feel about that? Was he promised #2?
stockholder
January 10, 2018 at 10:43 am
I think he's all for it. Plenty of room after Dorsey. Just look what TT did with all the people under him. With Changes come broken hearts. Good for all of them. I think Highsmith knew Wolf would leave.

With the past performance and state of affairs in Cleveland, I'd say he'd have been better off in GB. This guy might just be a bit overzealous thinking he's ready for something he's really not, at this point. I wonder how many of those 3 execs with Packers ties will be there 3 years from now?
fthisJack
January 11, 2018 at 08:22 am
he was just hired by the Browns as assistant GM. its a promotion from what he had in GB. it'll look good on his resume when some team in the near future comes knocking on his door to be their GM.

Ron Wolf has the right to his opinion. It is certainly difficult to be objective when discussing one's own children. However, Eliot may have been better served if Ron had expressed his opinions privately.
On the occasions that my daughter has been temporarily unsatisfied with her employer (in the public relations field) I have tried to listen and be supportive without expressing an opinion with respect to the specific situation and what she should do. That was because: 1) There was no way that I could know all of the details; and 2) I trusted her to make the correct decision for herself.
fthisJack
January 09, 2018 at 07:54 pm
Ron Wolf was being objective in his response and i don't see why keeping his mouth shut would have better served him. he was never a guy to hold back on what he thought which is what i really liked about him. they passed on Eliot and they will lose his services. there is no future for him in GB.

"Obviously the people up there don't think he's worthy or they would've hired him. End of discussion." - Ron Wolf
If you think that quote by Ron is objective then you don't know what that word means. If the Packers thought he was worthless he wold have been gone already.

worthy in American
(ˈwɜrði ; wʉrˈthē)
adjective
Word forms: ˈworthier or ˈworthiest
1.
having worth, value, or merit
2.
having enough worth or merit (for someone or something specified); meriting
this is what worthy means and it follows that the Packers deemed he didn't have enough WORTH to be GM! Pa POW! now he's gone and i wish him well.

I hate this "worthy" quote. It implies that he was regarded as unqualified or substandard by the Packers. Sometimes you just get beat out. Sometimes it's a matter of fit.
Wolf's going to get his chance and he knows that.

I remember Bart Starr quoting that when he was hired as Head Coach many moons ago, too bad that didn't work out but Happy Birthday Bart Starr, still love #15.

The denying him interviews then passing him over is the sour in this milk. As in Highlander "there can only be one" so that reality must be swallowed before he can carry on in this organization.
Tucking in behind Dorsey or McKenzie will work to get away from the "Packer way" and give him a chance to see another team culture. It would serve him well before he returns to Green Bay after the Gutekunst/Murphy era.
I like him and hope he keeps the Packers in his heart.

Eliot Wolf is going to leave if not this week then next offseason so why delay the inevititable? This is not neccessarily a bad thing as he will likely not be gone forever. We would lose a good talent evaluator which is tough, but maybe Wolf goes to Cleveland and helps Dorsey rebuild up a currently crappy roster? What if he helps finally make the Browns competitive, then takes a GM spot elsewhere? If anything, Wolf moves around the league, gains valuable experience and becomes more well rounded having done several jobs all over the league, including GM. He can return to GB in the future. This idea we are somehow going to keep him for the next several years is nuts. Not happening.

I think Wolf is very hard working and intelligent front office employee. I also find it very hard to believe with all the dysfunctional organizations in the NFL that if he was ready to be a GM someone would have scooped him up. Obviously age doesn't matter when the NFC west Champions have a HC that gets carded trying to have a cocktail.
Qoojo
January 09, 2018 at 04:47 pm
I really don't care if he stays or goes. He was in charge of the Pro side, and Gute mentioned that he wanted to get Wolf more involved on the college side if he stayed. TT never really did much in FA market which is what Wolf was evaluating. Then the whole Bennett fiasco.
Former packers front office guys seem to value him, but I think Murphy picked right considering Wolf is 35, and it sounds limited to Pro side in GB.
Pauly
January 09, 2018 at 04:58 pm
If I was E. Wolf, a lateral move seems silly.
I would use the offers and obvious GB goodwill right now (it has a short lifespan) to negotiate a healthy raise, more diverse responsibilities and a better job title at GB to advance my knowledge and opportunities of a GM job in next few years.
With expanded responsibilities and a title such as Asst. GM or Deputy GM with a 3-5 yr contract that allowed me to interview for a GM job outside of the NFL North after 2 years. Becoming ready for a quality GM position to insure the best chances at future success.
Can always hope to see Wolf back in GB years from now better than his dad. (the "American way" do better than your father)
In Cleveland Highsmith is now a VP and Wolf may get lost plus the Browns may still fail to become a playoff team even with all the picks and cap space.
egbertsouse
January 09, 2018 at 05:28 pm
He can interview for a GM job anytime, it would be a promotion. If he's going to stay, he needs a clause that says he can interview for ANY job at ANY time.
The Packers have been hanging on to him for years with the promise of promotion and now they have bypassed him. I think he goes by the end of the week.

If you have to do promotion in your company and you have 2 strong candidates. One is little bit longer with your company (3 years longer), have already 5 interviews with other companies for the job you have opened, have made his own name, and he is considered as hot hire from majority of the experts.
Another is long enough with your company, also 9 years younger, few interviews he made with other companies did not finished in something spectacular, who is son of famous father, so it is not clear who is responsiblew for the reputation and did not produce much of buzz across the majority of organization in the field.
I did not talking about expertize of those 2 candidates, asuming they are similar in that part.

Honestly I believe this is the best situation for him. I don't know that making a lateral move puts him in a better situation. Now say KC or Houston reach out to him to be the GM I don't see him passing up an opportunity like that. both have young promising quarterbacks to build around with a number of young offensive weapons. Unless another gig opens up that's not as enticing as those my gut tells me he stays

I am not sure any of these jobs would really offer more authority than in GB. unless he is hurt by the rejection, I would think it’s just a question of whom he wants to work with most: Dorsey, McKenzie or Gutekunst and salary, but GB cost of living should make that easy enough to counter if they want to.

Who cares if Wolf leaves? What makes everyone think he is such a great evaluator of talent? For that matter our new GM, Wolf, Ball were all part of the TT team.
They have done nothing to distinguish themselves via the draft. Some good picks, some bad picks, many JAG's. If A.Rodg hadn't fallen into their lap (and credit TT for not passing on him) this team would probably been just like most average NFL franchises.
But that is pretty much true of the vast majority of NFL teams. I think they could all be easily replaced by other scouts.
In fact there are many publications that list "draft boards" that would probably result in the same number of "good picks", "bad picks" and "JAGS" as most teams entire scouting staff's.

"If you're sitting somewhere within the confines of 1265 Lombardi Avenue and your name is Eliot Wolf, it's probably hard not to hold back any subtle animosity towards the team whose front office you've served for almost 14 years."
If you're sitting somewhere within the confines of 1265 Lombardi Avenue and your name is Brian Gutekunst, it's probably hard not to hold back any subtle animosity towards the team whose front office you've served for almost 17 years.
See, just change the name and how long someone served under the roof and you have same story...
Sorry, but I think Packers (Mike Murphy) made right choice. Brian has complete experience in scouting prospects and FA, while Eliot Wolf lacks scouting prospects.
Second, there is no guarantee that son will fill father shoes...
Third, and maybe the most important part is reports how teams, which interviewed both Brian and Eliot, saw both of them. Brian was clearly in advance and was impressing most of the teams. There was not much of buzz with Eliot.
At the moment, Eliot will go to Cleveland to discuss possibility to go there. But Cleveland has new GM - John Dorsey. So, Eliot Wolf is not going to be new Cleveland GM. The best he can get is the same position which is offered to him by Packers... Also, you did not hear Texans, after they lost opportunity to hire Brian, went for Eliot Wolf as GM!
Calm down.
Mike Murphy made a right choice and I hope Eliot Wolf will make right one for himself and for the Packers...

Why does everyone assume Wolf has anything on Gutekunst? He’s younger, not as experienced, and doesn’t yet have the resume. Both men were mentored by Ron Wolf but Gute has a much wider breadth of experience as a player & coach. E Wolf is headed to the Browns and I wish him the best. I’m very happy with GB’s management decisions thus far and I believe that the team has already been significantly upgraded. Go Pack!

I am full of trepidation with the new management team that now has made their home Green Bay. Tother than Philbin, which was an excellent grab....I can't honestly say the other bunch will strike fear in hearts of our enemies.
