After 22 years on the job, Packers public relations director Jeff Blumb has resigned according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

Jeffs moving on, and were going in a different direction, Packers VP Jason Wied said. Jeff and I have talked for a while. Hes been doing this for 22 years, and its become a grind for him. We both felt that maybe it was time to look at what else is out there.

The Packers will look to replace Blumb or restructure despite a hiring freeze elsewhere in the organization during the lockout. Blumbs name has been removed from the teams website.

While Blumb isnt quite Michael Strahan, hes going out in style with a title. We wish him all the best in the future.

I am sure he did a fine job but for some reason all PR directors always make me think of Joseph Goebbels, Minister pr Propaganda in Nazi Germany. I guess it is because they have to, for the most part, spout the company line and put the best spin possible no matter what the situation.

Goebbels was by all accounts a wonderful husband and father.

He was very good at his job. That is why he is remembered so well.

I think the Packers are looking for someone more high tech savy.
22 years ago the internet was just a new fangled thing.

Now with twitter, cellphone alerts, and new gadgets and software spreading bad rumors rapidly, you have to be able to stop some half cocked blogger slander right away.

"We both felt that maybe it was time to look at what else is out there.

I think the wording (We Both) in that staement says it all.

I think he was given a career adjustment. Be retired, or be fired.

Nice catch. You'd think they could've sugar coated it a little better, especially considering that he was the PR director, i.e., sugar coater.

PFT had a article a while back about another team losing one of their staff (wasn't a player or coach... and I don't think it was a scout but) they said it usually clear when a team wanted a guy out or not... if they wanted him out they don't sugar coat it...

I think it might of been one of the Steelers PR guys maybe? ...
