Last week the Green Bay Packers announced they have laid out the process for finding a replacement for CEO Mark Murphy. Team by-laws require that Murphy retire in July of 2025 when he turns 70 years old. The franchise has formed an eleven member search committee which will work with the Korn Ferry executive management company, a group they have worked with to fill other openings.
During his sixteen years in the job, Murphy has been a lightning rod for criticism. Whenever the Packers struggled on the field, many fans directed their venom squarely to the man at the top.
