With that theory (or whatever the right word is) that Ed Policy wants to change the Packers org structure back to the Ted Thompson days...


It would be interesting as what that would that mean for Russ Ball, as it was everyone under the GM, and then switched to a three prong approach with GM, HC (Head Coach) and whatever title Ball had, all reporting to the President.

Of course, Ball had been 100% giving ball salary guarantees to ANYONE, and I think that put the Packers at a disadvantage with UDFA, as basically the entire rest of the league went to guaranteeing some UDFA base salary (basically a signing bonus) except maybe three teams, including the Packers.


Of course, they finally broke that two years ago...


But Ball's current title is Executive Vice President/Director of Football Operations

I don't believe anyone wanted to be under Ball, and some even thought he might get the GM role, before there was supposedly a hell no, from others and supposedly that power struggle might be what lead to the new three prong approach.



I don't think Gute and LaFleur would have any issues with each other, the question would be how Ball fits into all of this.
