The Green Bay Packers fired head coach Mike McCarthy after Sunday’s loss to Arizona. The move was probably inevitable even if the timing was shocking
When the Green Bay Packers lost to the Arizona Cardinals 20-17 on Sunday afternoon, a consensus began to form that the upset could mark the end of Mike McCarthy’s tenure at head coach. What few suspected was that the change would happen so quickly. Mere hours later, the Packers announced that McCarthy was out and that offensive coordinator Joe Philbin would act as interim head coach. With that shock announcement, McCarthy’s 13-year stint in Green Bay came to a rather abrupt and ignoble end.
