Ted Thompson signs extension with Packers

Shadowhawk · Jul 30, 2014

I've been a little nervous for a while that John Schneider would head off to Green Bay to be their GM after his contract expires in 2016, so I was very happy to see that Thompson won't be leaving the Packers any time soon.

This is excellent news. PC just extended another 3 years, and now it looks like JS will be here a while too.

Can anybody explain to me why so many people seem to think that John Schneider is yearning to go back to Green Bay?

Yes, I know he was born and raised in Wisconsin, and attended college there. Yes, I know he got his start with the Packers.

So what? Is there more to this that I haven't seen? Have any of you been to Green Bay, WI? He'll make more money here, and living in the Green Bay area isn't even comparable to living in the Seattle area. Add the special medical needs of his kid on top of that compared to both places, and I don't see anything getting John Schneider to go be the GM of the Packers, frankly.

Is there some indication from Mr. Schneider that gives credence to this?

I'm far too lazy to look it up, but I believe he has stated in the past that it was his dream job.

From what I can tell, a Milwaukee Sentinel-Journal writer is just the one saying it.

Nothing from Schneider himself anywhere that I've seen.
