Cause Gutey scouted alot of the guys in roster. He knows the systems those guys were signed for. So he has a better idea of what type of HC will fit best.. imo
Who will be the Next GB Head Coach ?

What did Ted do?
He seemed to be a glorified personnel director with admin duties layered on top.
Gute has been in scouting/personnel for 20 years with Green Bay.
I don’t have a lot of worries about him not knowing what he wants.

With all do respect, not a TT fan in the least, but I'm pretty sure he's had plenty of years in the league worth honoring.
Okay I've had enough of the Brian Gutekunst love fest/ TT hate fest.... lets get this straight once and for all. That's everyone from staff to newbies. Pay attention. For clarification I don't care for either one.
Biography
Gutekunst was born on July 19, 1973, in Raleigh, North Carolina.[2] His father, John Gutekunst, was the head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers football team. Gutekunst attended the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. During his time there, he played on the football team before suffering a career-ending shoulder injury. Afterwards, he served as an assistant coach with the team, including during their 1995 National Championship season. Gutekunst spent most of the 1998 NFL season with the Kansas City Chiefs as a scouting assistant. He then joined the Packers as a college scout for the East Coast of the United States. Gutekunst assumed his position in 2012. He was promoted to director of player personnel on March 21, 2016. On January 7, 2018 the Green Bay Packers promoted Gutekunst to become their new general manager to replace Ted Thompson.
One big strike on the dude, his dad was a horses ass. Met him way back. Complete dick. One of my HS teammates brothers played at UW Lacrosse with Brian.... I know what his teammates said. Jr takes after dad.
2 he's not slathered in experience so spare me that bull.
Let's compare to be fair here >>>
TT
Career as a player
Thompson played college football at Southern Methodist University, starting three years at linebacker and intercepting seven passes during his career.[1] During his senior year, he served as a team captain and was also the team's placekicker.[2]
As an undrafted free agent in 1975, Thompson was signed by the Houston Oilers. The Oilers' general manager and coach was Bum Phillips, who had briefly coached Thompson at Southern Methodist. Thompson won a spot as a backup linebacker and special teams player and held this position for 10 years. He started nine games during his career[3], but he proved durable, playing in 146 of 147 games. In a 1980 game against the New York Jets, Thompson successfully converted four extra-point attempts as the emergency kicker. >> 10 years
Front office
Green Bay Packers (scout)
In 1992, Thompson was hired by Ron Wolf as a scout for the Green Bay Packers. Thompson worked for the Packers through the 1999 season when former Packers' head coach Mike Holmgren recruited Thompson to join the Seattle Seahawks. During Thompson's time with the Packers as a scout, the Packers advanced to the playoffs six times, participating in two Super Bowls and winning Super Bowl XXXI.[5]
Seattle Seahawks
Thompson worked for the Seattle Seahawks as Vice President of Football Operations, also heading Seattle's scouting department and running the draft boards. He worked alongside former Packers and Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, who was Seattle's GM at the time.
During Thompson's tenure in Seattle, the Seahawks advanced to the playoffs twice. In 2005, following Thompson's departure to the Packers, the Seahawks had one of their best success in team history, reaching the Super Bowl. Many of the players on Seattle's Super Bowl team were acquired under Thompson's direction, including HB Shaun Alexander, WR Darrell Jackson, OG Steve Hutchinson, CB Marcus Trufant, and K Josh Brown,
In an interview with Mike Holmgren in 2009, Holmgren noted that "Once Ted Thompson came on board and we settled down a little bit, we started making good decisions.
2005-2017 GM Green bay Packers
Now I am not here to argue about Ted's downfalls because that's been hashed out on here almost as much as Favre/Rodgers was everywhere but DON'T.... DO NOT unzip your pants and show your wieners about Gute.
He's a young guy that NEVER played NFL ball nor can he even sniff TT jock regarding experience or personal. He may end up being okay ... at this point he's Mark Murphy HR guy and scouting man with a twist of "hey Brian go find out what their saying in the locker room" That's the reality of the situation.
For those that get pissed off about this post. Tough I get to have my opinion here too. Return to your local program.

After reading around I like the Matt Lafleur idea more and more. Let's get a young guy in here and let him bring some energy into the place. I could live with Harbough or the kid from NE but they have had their chances. Lafleur is hungry.
Mark, not a fan of either one of those GM we have or had in here as well. Gute said he yesterday he knew he wouldn't have a say so but then babbled on about "it's the people" bullcrap. That tells me an x marine that he has no integrity.

He (Gutey) sounds more and more like a yes man.. which means he will eventually be a scape goat.

Outstanding post Mark. I will say this, right, wrong or indifferent, a light has been shined on this organization. Media is all over it. More will come to light. At the minimum, the power structure will continue to be evaluated. Keep losing and the lights will get hotter.
Accepting the current power structure speaks volumes in my opinion. Gutey accepted it. We'll see how it plays out.

I apparently have given Gutey more credit than he deserves.. Wow, I thought his resume was better than that....
I think what this also shows is how far GB's personnel department has fallen. When you think about how stacked that dept was years ago, and what it is now.... Wow.... no wonder the roster is a mess....
So who in GB's FO really has a good head to hire the next HC?? I just hope they don't go the TT route and try to find some "diamond in the rough" no name coach and hope he outperforms. Find the guy who will do it right and pay him what he's worth...

Gutey still could be the man. Just an interesting take on things. Mark and Packinatl, to, yourself, have been pretty adept on this stuff. Just for pricks sake, I'll say i trust your guys insight, Mark's a little more than Packinatl, rp's a minuscule less, and I'll trust the the opinion of anyone named other than Scoremore12...all tongue in cheek guys...except for the Scoremore12 comment

Is the media shining a light on things, or just trying to create a story? I'm not saying things are perfect in Green Bay, but I feel things are being blown a bit out of proportion.
