Mike McCarthy is a highly-successful football coach. Just ask him.
The guy has a record of 123-72-2. He has a Super Bowl win. Before last season, the Packers had been in the playoffs eight consecutive years.
McCarthy Without Rodgers
Some things became apparent in 2017, however. Mostly, Mike McCarthy is maybe not so successful when he doesn’t have Aaron Rodgers as his crutch.
The Packers were 3-6 without Rodgers in 2017. In 2013, when Rodgers was again absent for an extended period, the Packers were 2-4-1 in those games. That does not count the loss to the Bears where Rodgers broke his collarbone in the first quarter.
