The Green Bay Packers look like they'll miss the playoffs for the second straight season, something that's not acceptable when you have Aaron Rodgers.
And when the relationship between said franchise quarterback and his head coach appears to be crumbling, even publicly, the organization has a choice to make.
So Sunday night, after a home loss to Arizona dropped Green Bay to 4-7-1, head coach Mike McCarthy was fired in the middle of his 13th season with the Packers.
Happy 35th birthday, Aaron.
Mike McCarthy becomes only the 2nd coach with a Super Bowl win to not finish a season he started, joining Don McCafferty of the 1972 Colts.
