Aaron Rodgers-Mike McCarthy relationship in a whole new light after explosive story

On Wednesday, Mike McCarthy gave his first interview since being fired by the Green Bay Packers. He told ESPN.com’s Rob Demovsky that coaching Rodgers was challenging but fun.

He might have a different definition of fun than the rest of us.

Bleacher Report’s Tyler Dunne wrote a long piece detailing the friction between Rodgers and McCarthy, and according to the story the dysfunction went back further than anyone commonly knew.

It might have gone back to the day Rodgers was drafted, and the San Francisco 49ers — with McCarthy as their offensive coordinator — passing on him for Alex Smith.
