GREEN BAY Brett Favre Jersey , Wis. — The Green Bay Packers have fired coach Mike McCarthy and made offensive coordinator Joe Philbin the interim head coach.The move announced by team president Mark Murphy came after a stunning 20-17 loss on Sunday to the Arizona Cardinals, dropping Green Bay to 4-7-1.More Packers coveragePhotos of the Week: 7/21/19 – 7/27/19Packers rookie Gary’s biggest critic is himselfTop Tweets: Former Badger TJ Watt has impressive four-year transformationPHOTOS: 2019 Green Bay Packers training campPackers’ Rodgers, LaFleur ironing out offense, building chemistryMurphy, in a statement, said the 2018 season “has not lived up to the expectations and standards of the Green Bay Packers. As a result, I made the difficult decision to relieve Mike McCarthy of his role as head coach, effective immediately.”Murphy said the process of hiring the next head coach would begin immediately.McCarthy was in his 13th season as coach. The Packers won the Super Bowl under McCarthy in the 2010 season. He finishes with a record of 125-77-2.“Mike has been a terrific head coach and leader of the Packers for 13 seasons, during which time we experienced a great deal of success on and off the field,” Murphy said.But this is a third straight year in which Green Bay has had extended struggles.In 2016 Womens Paul Hornung Jersey , the Packers started 4-6, then won eight straight games to get to the NFC title game, losing to the Atlanta Falcons. Green Bay finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs in 2017, when Aaron Rodgers missed extensive time with a broken collarbone.McCarthy shook up his coaching staff, including bringing Philbin back as offensive coordinator and hiring Mike Pettine to replace Dom Capers as defensive coordinator. Different problems emerged.This year, Rodgers hurt his left knee in the season opener, though he is feeling better now. Receivers Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison have missed time with injuries. The same issues kept popping up for the offense, most glaringly, empty third downs and a lack of explosive plays.Rodgers was asked after the game — but before McCarthy’s firing was announced — how much blame offensive players should get if the Packers made a coaching change after the season.“Yeah, a lot probably. We haven’t played very well Oren Burks Jersey White ,” Rodgers said. “We all take part in the disappointments and the failures that we’ve had this season. We’ve had a number of opportunities. It’s not like we’re getting blown out in a bunch of games. We’re in games.”Cobb’s return on Sunday didn’t help, with the Packers just 3 of 14 on third downs.“I hate to repeat myself, but it’s applicable. … We’re not executing the right way,” Rodgers said.“It’s poor throws, not on the same page with receivers, wrong depth, protection,” he added. “We all have a part in that and we’ve all picked our time to mess up a third down.”The opening play of the fourth quarter was a perfect example of Green Bay’s offensive struggles. Rodgers found Cobb for a 36-yard completion on third-and-11, but the play was wiped out by a holding penalty on right tackle Jason Spriggs.Rodgers said his focus was getting his teammates to “play with that pride” and focus on the next four games.“Yeah, I mean I’m not even thinking about that right now Womens Kenny Clark Jersey ,” Rodgers said when asked if he would have any role after the season with general manager Brian Gutekunst or Murphy about what direction they should go with the coaching staff.The offensive players, Rodgers said, bear blame for whatever happens in the future.“Yeah, a lot probably,” he said. “We haven’t played very well.” Green Bay may look at a pair of players from rival schools in the Magnolia State with its first round selections." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteAcme Packing Companya Green Bay Packers communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsPackersOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football Advicerival schools in the Magnolia State with its first round selections.CDTShareTweetShareShareMock Draft 2019: Packers could add Mississippi flavor in first roundThomas J. Russo-USA TODAY SportsWell, it’s here friends. NFL Draft day 2019. And while there is still a bit of unknown surrounding the Arizona Cardinals’ first overall selection, the Green Bay Packers are set to be on the clock twice in just a few hours.It is only fitting to reveal my final mock draft on such an occasion as the Packers look to build upon a solid start to General Manager Brian Gutekunst’s draft career a year ago. Green Bay is in position to add a couple of instant playmakers on both sides of the ball on day one, including a pair of in-state rivals down south. Here is how my final version played out.Shawn’s Final 2019 NFL Mock DraftPickTeamPlayerPositionSchoolPickTeamPlayerPositionSchoolHow Green Bay faredWhile Montez Sweat’s stock has been dropping in recent days due to his heart condition being perhaps more serious than first thought, his ceiling remains too high for the Packers to pass up at pick 12. Sweat’s size, length Lance Kendricks Jersey , speed, and array of pass rush moves will get him on the field early and be a quality addition among Green Bay’s new cast of playmakers on the edge. If the medical staff clears Sweat — something that appears likely given new reporting today from Ian Rapoport — this would be a best-case-scenario selection.I mocked A.J. Brown to Green Bay in my last version and he holds steady here. Despite the Packers drafting a trio of wide receivers in 2018, Brown would immediately join their multiple receiver sets. He has a thick, powerful body that does not give up speed or quickness, and he can separate from defensive backs in all areas of the field. Able to line up outside or in the slot, Brown would provide an excellent complement to Davante Adams and crack the starting lineup sooner rather than later.
