Fans of the Green Bay Packers calling for the termination of Mike McCarthy surprisingly got their wish on December 2, 2018. The 2018 season was going in the wrong direction. Like the past few seasons the offense was stagnant and suffered from poor execution, injuries had taken their toll in key positions, and the future Hall of Fame quarterback wasn’t looking like himself. All things considered it wasn’t surprising to see McCarthy let go, but it was surprising it happened before the season ended. Less than a year after parting ways with general manager Ted Thompson the firing of Mike McCarthy made something very apparent: the Green Bay Packers were moving on and starting a new era at 1265 Lombardi Ave.
