The Green Bay Packers announced a new multi-year contract extension for head coach Mike McCarthy on Monday. Terms of the deal were not announced as of this writing.

“We are very happy to extend our relationship with Mike,” Packers general manager Ted Thompson said, via Michael David Smith of NBC's Pro Football Talk. “Over the past nine years, he’s provided great stability and consistency to the Packers organization and our community as an excellent coach and leader. He’s a good man and we look forward to the future with Mike as our head coach.”

McCarthy has won more games that any Green Bay Packers coach not named Curly Lambeau or Vince Lombardi, maintaining the franchise's status as a perennial NFL powerhouse in the process.

At just 51 years of age, McCarthy has won 91 games with the franchise and has taken the Packers to the playoffs five years in a row, along with capturing one Super Bowl ring.
