Despite His Vocal Critics, Mike McCarthy’s Legacy in Green Bay Will Be a Positive One

In the wake of the firing of head coach Mike McCarthy, it felt rather trite to select and analyze a “game changing play of the week.” So here is one last reflection for today on McCarthy’s coaching tenure in Green Bay.

Over the last several years, Mike McCarthy has been a lightning rod for criticism in Green Bay, particularly from fans on social media platforms.

What we have seen out of the 2018 Packers indicated that it was indeed finally time for McCarthy and the Packers to part ways. The team is clearly in need of a new direction and a refresh to its offensive schemes and philosophies, and McCarthy could not prove he was capable of delivering the adjustments the team needed to salvage its system.
