Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy apparently is enjoying his team’s dominance over the Bears. Some might say he’s enjoying it a bit too much.
Fox Sports reported Murphy replied to a fan’s inquiry about the vacant Packers defensive coordinator position with a hand-written Jan. 30 joke making light of the Bears .
The Packers had fired Joe Barry and were searching for a replacement before hiring former Boston College coach Jef Hafley. Underdog Fantasy’s Dan McDermott, whose expertise in football is as a fan in fantasy football, applied for the defensive coordinator position.
Fox Sports reported Murphy responded with a letter, treating the application with all the seriousness it needed to be treated:
“Thanks so much for your cover letter and resume regarding our defensive coordinator position,” Murphy’s note read. “While your fantasy football experience is impressive, I regret to inform you that we have decided to go in a different direction.
“I hear the Bears have an opening—you look to be a perfect fit for them. Thanks again.”
