Anonymous is back! Yet another basher that won't call in to the Unit's program and debate their point. Love how the cowards can write but can't speak.

Bob Harlan is the single most important man in the resurgence of the Packers as an organization. A classic individual who even went door to door to sell his vision of the future including Lambeau. Unbelievably classy man...wish he was back, this wouldn't be happening.

It is easy to say what others should do when it comes to MM & TT. IF we fire them we owe them about 21 million dollars in severance. So I am sure the packer fans won't mind say an extra 50 dollars per ticket every game to pay for the cost of firing MM & TT.

Hey Big Unic, you're negative no matter what goes on. You hate TT and even if the Packers would win a Super Bowl, you'd complain. That's why your opinion's mean nothing. You have all the answers yet when I listened last week when the Unit called you out, you didn't pick up a phone. You're a coward. How do you know that everything you say is right and everyone else is wrong? Hmmm? How? I'm tired of your act. Free speech is one thing, you spew nothing but anger and dislike.

This guy is one of the main reasons the Packers command so much respect today. He was tremendous. Now the Pres. and even worse, the GM are an embarrasment to him. What a shame the BOD does not take some action.

Bob Harlan made one big mistake - he hired Ted Thompson.

In the early 90's, when the team owners (ie the fans) started to raise hell about the Braatz-Infante debacle, Harlan did what Murphy won't do: he swallowed his pride, stepped out, and fired Braatz mid-season. Then after the season, allowed the team to eat the remainder of Infante's contract, as Wolf then fired him. That's what we need now. Don't hold your breath that it will happen, because I see Murphy as a new Matt Millen, without the GM side of things.

I feel like I know Bob Harlan. He is the man behind the greatness of the Packers of the 90's. Tooften when we talk about those how contributed to the success of the team we forget about Bob Harlan. He is as hard to replace as Mike Holgren, Brett Farve or Ron Wolf.
