Mike McCarthy was hired in 2006 to take over for former head coach Mike Sherman. Since then, the Green Bay Packers have compiled a record of 121-70-1.
Late last year, the Packers quietly gave McCarthy a one-year extension through the 2019 season, seemingly ending any debate as to McCarthy’s short-term future with the organization.
The question still remains. Is Mike McCarthy’s seat warming up?
The simple answer is yes.
Eight years is long enough to have a free pass. The free pass is having won the Super Bowl.
Since then, there has been a series of miscues (2014 NFC Championship Game), underperformance during the playoffs (2012 season), and mediocrity (2017 season).
