Packers hiring Brian Gutekunst as general manager

The Packers have found their next personnel man.
Green Bay is hiring Brian Gutekunst as its general manager, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. The deal is for five years, Rapoport added.
The Packers are staying consistent in their style of hiring, making this move an internal one. Gutekunst worked as director of player personnel in Green Bay under Ted Thompson for the last six seasons and was as rising candidate for multiple front-office jobs around the league.
Around The NFL will have more on this story shortly.

For those wondering if there is a MN connection? Yes there is...Brian Gutekunst is the son of John Gutekunst who coached the Golden Gopher football team for a # of years.

McCarthy, Rodgers get their wish: Russ Ball won’t be G.M. in G.B.Packers coach Mike McCarthy didn’t want Russ Ball to be the team’s next G.M. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers also reportedly wasn’t a fan of the franchise’s V.P. of football administration getting the ultimate in-house promotion.
They win.

May he do for the Pack what daddy did for the Gophers: .500 purgatory.
