Ding Dong McCarthy is gone

Worth noting that the #Packers made this call without having been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

I'm pretty damn surprised....do they have someone in mind that they wanted to get a jump on?

I actually sort of liked Seifert's take:

Sparing Mike McCarthy a month’s worth of rumors, plus the indignity of playing out the string, strikes me as a respectful outcome. It’s OK to do things differently from the way they have always been done.

Our season wasn't on the line today. We were eliminated last week. But the way we played today was unacceptable. When your HC loses his team he is done.

We most certainly weren't eliminated last week, unless your just saying on an emotional, logical level. Carolina, Chicago, Minnesota, Atlanta, all lost today. 5-6-1 would have still left a reasonable chance.

^ An immediate search would lean toward, though not be proof, that they were waiting for the moment to strike.


Murphy will hold a press conference at 1:45 p.m. Monday.

They did let him give the game ending press conference.

I think the handwriting was on the wall. If he really did threaten to quit if Ball was made GM, that’s 2 1/2 strikes right there. I agree that he was a good head coach and a pretty good motivator, but that the offense was not evolving.

I always thought he and TT were attached at the hip, but after Thompson stepped down as GM, I did not see the loyalty out of MM. My feeling is that the acquisition of talent by Thompson was a larger part of our success than MM’s coaching. When Thompson’s job performance started to slip, we’ve seen a similar, but maybe larger slip in MM’s performance.

At any rate, it’s a new age for the Packers.

I like it. They are primed to grab the best prospect.

Here's a good question: Who's going to get to a Super Bowl first, Aaron Rodgers or Mike McCarthy? Don't bet all your money on Rodgers. Let's see where McCarthy winds up.

I want to steal Reich from the Colts instead.

Not sure he's all that great but you could be right.

i'm sure a lot of people thought that mike sherman would get a ton of calls too because of all the games he won

but nfl teams saw through the bullshit and knew he wasn't a great head coach

thats why he coaches high school now

Mikè Sherman actually coached the Montreal Alouettes this past Season in the CFL.

Finally MM is gone.
