I mean, he's the third face on Packers Mt Rushmore. Should be a statue of him with Lombardi and Lambeau. Absolute titan of the franchise. RIP Bob

There is not one person who can say something negative about Bob Harlan. He was kind and generous. Would give any time to talk to. Probably the only NFL leader who would answer his own phone if someone called him on the job be it another owner or just a common fan. Bob Harlan is also responsible for making sure the Packers and Lambeau Field is what it is today. This was a team on the verge of going broke. They new they had to do something with Lambeau Field to modernize it. When they went to ask taxpayers to fund over $200 million to remodel the stadium it was met with backlash. There was a lot of worry that the proposal was not going to pass. So Bob Harlan went out door to door in Brown County talking up the project and what could happen without it. It barely passed the vote and it's almost a guarantee that without Harlan going door to door it would not have passed.

He's also responsible for bring back the Packers from what was the worst destination in the league to one or the premier teams in the league. He was the one who convinced the BOD to give Ron Wolf total control of the team as in the past the BOD had always stuck their fingers into running the team making it the mess it was. When Ron Wolf wanted to trade for Brett Favre and they brought it up the BOD hated the idea. He asked Ron to leave the room and told the BOD if you deny this Wolf will quit and we will never get another quality GM to take this job ever again. Long story short the BOD approved the trade and history changed for this team.

RIP to one of the greatest men to ever be part of this franchise.
