If Browns owner Jimmy Haslam intends to seek the help of a Wolf to pick up the pieces of a broken football operations department, it is more likely to be the younger one he calls on, Eliot, rather than his dad, Ron.

Ron Wolf told ESPN Cleveland that there has been no contact from Haslam since the two had a casual lunch together in Jupiter, FL about three weeks ago. There is no agreement for the retired former Green Bay executive to work as a consultant.

It is widely assumed that Haslam will fire coach Mike Pettine and GM Ray Farmer after the worst season of Haslam’s three-plus years ownership ends Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. A loss would make the Browns 3-13 – their worst record since the 2000 season.

It has been reported that Eliot Wolf is the top choice among Haslam and President Alec Scheiner to replace Farmer as GM.

Eliot Wolf, 33, joined the Packers as a pro personnel assistant in 2004 – three years after his father retired as GM. Eliot rose through the ranks, first under former coach Mike Sherman and then under current Packers GM Ted Thompson. He was promoted to director of player personnel a year ago.

Ron Wolf, 77, is sensitive about not influencing his son’s career.

He said if the Browns are interested in interviewing his son for a job, “they would not call me about that. They would call him.”

“I think the worst thing a father can do is recommend something to his son. He’s got to do it. He’s old enough to do that.

“He’s done all this by himself without any help from me. He started in the business after I got out and he’s gone right up the ladder. I’m really proud of him. It’s his call, all the way.”
