Looks like we'll be sticking with / stuck with this foursome (including Murphy until he's 70) for awhile. Haven't heard the specifics yet. Anyone in the know/have the inside scoop on the specifics?

Stability is always good. Nobody was going anywhere after all that money the org hauled in last year. Fans showed themselves to be satisfied with their wallets.
I agree with them too.

I Do Not Hate Matt Lafleur
LaFleur is one game away from being the coach with the best win/loss record in NFL history with 50+ games coached. Needs to get better in the playoffs, but has shown to be an offensive coach capable of molding the scheme to the talent pool at his disposal. Basically the only coach I'd replace him with, if I had the choice of all coaches, would be BB.
Guty gives no Fs about popular opinion, and that's what I want from my GM. I don't want a fan or media *** kisser as GM. He tries to do what's best for franchise, even if the moves aren't the popular ones. There have been some crisis during his reign, and he's managed to diffuse them. He has been willing to evolve TT's formula by signing FAs, and has hit on waaaay more of them he had any business hitting. A bit above average overall as a drafter, with some real gem picks along with a lot of nothings and head scratchers.
Russ Ball has adapted to each GM, and has always made the contracts work, even when he has had to get very creative. He along with his GMs has kept GB competitive year in and year out. GB has had relatively few big overpays, especially overpays in guarantees, over the years. Somehow we've always been able to keep our own best talent for 2nd contracts, even if GB isn't the sexiest destination for a newly mega rich young man.
Yes, I want more Super Bowl victories from this group. If they don't win one with AR, they better make it work fast with his successor.
But they're all good eggs, and I just dunno how we could justify some firings at this point.

I suppose Gute is also in the realm of most wins to start his GM career as well.
It all starts with the top of the organization and works its way down. It's why you have some teams are rarely good (I'm looking at you Lions) and some teams are usually good.
Although we only have 2 SBs in last 25 years, we have been one of the favorites in most of those years. They have kept us in the thick of it, though we seem to rarely make it click.
I think this year is our best chance since the Reggie SB. We should have our best defense since then.

Murphy finally stepped in and did the necessary house cleaning, a few years late, loyalty often comes with a price.
Rodgers had to show Guty that loyalty also has rewards, treat me with the respect I'am do, and I'll do just about anything you ask ( except take a pay cut
)
Lafluer seems like a innocent by stander to all the drama, he just wants to win games, and keep his mega buck QB happy, which for the most part he's done very well, designed a QB friendly offensive scheme for Rodgers to prolong his career should he chose to do so.
to me Murphy was happy with the behind the scenes CEO job, was forced into the lime light when Rodgers rebuked almost everything that had been happening since 2017 and forced him to fire McCarthy in 2018 ( long over due)
there seems to be a mutual respect now between Guty and Rodgers or so it appears, thats great.
