He steered the franchise to two Super Bowl championships during his tenure from 1989 to 2008. He stepped in when the team was struggling years after the Vince Lombardi days. Harlan quickly hired Ron Wolf as general manager, sparking a turnaround with key moves like bringing in coach Mike Hongren, Reggie White, and Brett Farve. That led to the Packers' win in Super Bowl 31. Ron Wolf called Harlan an honorable leader full of character, who gave him his big break and was a joy to work with. In his later years, Harlan brought on Ted Thompson as general manager. Thompson drafted Aaron Rogers, who stepped up after Farve and guided Green Bay to victory in Super Bowl 45. Harlan's steady hand revived his storied franchise and left a lasting mark on Packer's history. A message from our sponsor supports today's story.
