Ex-Packers president, team Hall of Famer Bob Harlan dies at 89

"Harlan is the only person in NFL history to hire two different general managers that won Super Bowls with entirely different rosters in Ron Wolf and Ted Thompson. He took over as team president in 1989 when the team was more than two decades removed from the success of the Vince Lombardi era. In one his first moves, Harlan hired Wolf as general manager in 1991."

"Harlan was also largely responsible for the renovation to Lambeau field, which reopened in 2003 and secured the Packers from a financially competitive standpoint. The initial $295 renovation needed to be approved by Brown County voters, and Harlan played a key role in convincing the public to support the move. It paved the way for what Lambeau Field has become today, a year-round destination."

"Harlan served as president and CEO until his retirement in 2008. Before retiring, he hired Ted Thompson as general manager, which led to another championship in Super Bowl XLV with Mike McCarthy as coach and Aaron Rodgers as quarterback."

Bob Harlan, the Packers president from 1989 to 2008, transformed the franchise from decades of mediocrity into a championship organization. He hired Ron Wolf as general manager in 1991, enabling Wolf to recruit Mike Holmgren, Brett Favre, and Reggie White, leading to Super Bowl XXXI victory. Before retiring, Harlan hired Ted Thompson, whose tenure produced Super Bowl XLV with Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers. Harlan also spearheaded the $295 million Lambeau Field renovation completed in 2003, securing the franchise's financial stability and creating a year-round destination with restaurants, offices, a hotel, and residences. He remains the only NFL executive to hire two different general managers who won Super Bowls with entirely different rosters.
