Does Luck Run in Ed Policy’s Blood? Freakish 33-Year-Old Prophecy Surrounds Latest Green Bay Packers Hire

If the football gods are kind, history could repeat itself very soon, as the Packers recently announced the departure of Mark Murphy next year and the entry of Ed Policy in his place. Green Bay, which hasn’t won a Super Bowl since 2011, could soon see their luck turn, as it seems to run in Ed’s blood.

Ed, who has already been serving as their COO and General Counsel, will relieve Murphy of the position he has held for 18 years. He is the son of legendary executive Carmen Policy, the man under whose presidency the 49ers won their last Super Bowl.

Similarly, Carmen had served as the VP and Counsel of the Niners before assuming the presidency in 1991. Two years later, they won their 5th Super Bowl when he was thrust into the CEO and President positions.

Under Carmen, the 49ers won 5 Lombardi Trophies and successfully transitioned from Joe Montana to Steve Young. If everything goes right, Ed Policy could repeat history by following in his father’s footsteps. He will be responsible for rebuilding the franchise in the post-Aaron Rodgers era.

Green Bay interviewed a host of other candidates as well, such as Jason Wright of the Commanders, Sashi Brown of the Ravens, and Rams’ Tony Pastoors. However, the hiring committee felt that promoting someone who has been with the club for a long time felt like a better choice. The Cheeseheads, therefore, were delighted to hear the news of the team promoting Ed Policy.

Reactions to the Packers’ Hiring of Ed Policy

Fans have been applauding the Packers’ decision to promote Ed. The majority believes that he is already deeply entrenched in the club, knows its inner workings, and will make a great president.

Following the announcement, one fan remarked that the state of Wisconsin does things better than most places, including running their football team. Others quickly noticed the link between Ed and Carmen Policy, suggesting that the Policy genes might help the Packers win their fifth Super Bowl. Some even joked about Ed’s last name, with comments like, “So it’ll be Policy’s policies?” See for yourselves:

It’s no secret that the Packers are one of the most iconic and well-run organizations in the NFL. While Murphy did a fantastic job guiding the franchise post-Bob Harlan and Brett Favre era, Green Bay hasn’t won a Super Bowl since 2011, and new blood might help change that.
