GREEN BAY, Wis. – Brian Gutekunst wants Eliot Wolf to be his top advisor, but the Green Bay Packers general manager understands if his long-time co-worker leaves after getting passed over for the job.
And it sounds like Gutekunst will let him go
Wolf, who holds the position of director-football operations, did not receive a promotion on Monday when the Packers introduced Gutekunst as GM and announced changes to their management structure to include president Mark Murphy as the overseer of Gutekunst, executive vice president/football operations Russ Ball and coach Mike McCarthy.
“I would envision him kind of being a right-hand man to me,” Gutekunst said of Wolf on Monday following his introductory press conference.
