The Green Bay Packers hired Brian Gutekunst to be their new general manager a week ago. That much we know. What we don't know is the truth behind the process that led to that decision.
There were many reports about who the favorite candidate was and how the discussions were going around 1265 Lombardi Avenue. One report had Russ Ball as the favorite. Another said if Ball was hired, Mike McCarthy would step down as head coach. Then another report that quarterback Aaron Rodgers was also not on board with the hiring of Ball.
Last Sunday morning, the search was over and Gute, as he's called, was the man.
