Firing McCarthy? Not the Answer for the Packers

"Not very good," said Aaron Rodgers in January of 2015. He was being recounted of the lack of production his offense sustained in two crucial drives in the fourth quarter following a loss to Seattle in the NFC Championship Game. Two drives that totaled five runs and one pass for a sub-total of negative six yards and an incompletion. "When you do that, that's how you lose games."

Mike McCarthy was finishing his ninth season as the Packers' head coach with his third NFC Championship Game appearance, and after Green Bay failed to maintain a two-score lead in the fourth quarter, it would also be his last to this very day.
