Mike McCarthy Fired From Green Bay

Probably a sigh of relief in Green Bay instead of chaos.
After firing Hue Jackson in late October, the Browns quietly began their search for their next head coach. With the firing of Mike McCarthy in Green Bay, that quest is about to become much noisier.
Sources have told FanSided that the Browns are already working on whether they will hire McCarthy. McCarthy has obvious ties to the Cleveland front office, most-notably general manager John Dorsey, vice president of player personnel Alonzo Highsmith and assistant general manager Eliot Wolf.

McCarthy had ran his course in GB. Was time for him to move on.
millerforrest must be celebrating - wherever - or whoever - he happens to be now.
McCarthy had run his course since Ted Thompson gutted the roster and left him (McCarthy) nothing but Rodgers and Adams. Look at the roster, then ask yourself, where are all the draft picks from the last four years.
MM sealed his fate when he stubbornly stood with hundley last year. Has a boatload of draft picks from the last year or two playing. In fact, many of the picks from 3-5 years ago were cut loose or traded over the last year or two.
That's what happens when you have to pay your QB $30+ mill. Look at the Ravens, Lions, Falcons and soon to be Vikings. You can't afford a good roster with that much going to one player. The Saints, Steelers and Patriots have gotten by because Brees, Roethlisberger and Brady have taken significantly less than they are worth. Its almost becoming a league where you need to hit a home run with a QB draft pick before you have to fork over the money to pay them, or hope your franchise QB is willing to take pay cuts.
Rodgers better hope they win when the new guy comes to town or his State Farm commercials might be the highlight of his year.
Bingo.
It is a salary cap league.
If you are paying so much for a QB, then the rest of your roster is necessarily thin.
It is not a coincidence that probably the best teams in the league right now (the Rams and the Chiefs) have all-star QB play from men on their rookie deals.
Good quarter back + paying them peanuts + pouring those savings back in the rest of the roster = really good football teams
That was Seattle's secret to success in the early Wilson era, too.
**** yeah! Time to celebrateGreenbay fired Mike McCarthy today. Chaos in Green Bay.
While what you say is true, the Packers didn't sign Rodgers to the extension until after Thompson was "retired". Thompson's draft picks the last few years was not good and was unable to overcome attrition. There is no depth nor any real talent which should have been under contract prior to Rodgers signing the mega deal.
Not surprised to see McCarthy fired, but am surprised they did it during the season. Makes sense to get a head start on the coaching search and try to keep some form of unity with current players before the offseason.
I'm not buying that the Packers can't become Super Bowl contenders again next year because of Rodgers' salary. They have a whole lot of wasted cap space this year that they will most likely get rid of (Cobb, Perry and Matthews) and will have the chance to make some key FA moves. Also have 2 1st round picks next year. The key is finding a coach that can work with ARod right away since he only has a few prime years left in him.

So you think a pro will be receptive to reading a chapter book to try and be the best version of himself?
