GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It’s easy for Mark Murphy to say it now after a run to the NFC Championship Game, but the way the Green Bay Packers president physically recoiled in his chair when asked whether he ever considered making a coaching or general manager change when they were 4-6 and on a four-game losing streak sure was convincing.
During an interview this week, Murphy was emphatic in his support for coach Mike McCarthy and general manager Ted Thompson, both of whom faced heavy criticism during the season.
"You don't make decisions like that in the middle of the season," Murphy said.
