On December 2nd, 2018, the struggling Green Bay Packers lost to another struggling team in the Arizona Cardinals to fall to 4-7-1 on the season. Before time expired on that game, I finally admitted to myself that it might be time for a coaching change. I liked Mike McCarthy as coach of the Packers and never wanted him to leave, but it was finally time. Sure enough, not too long after the game, Mike McCarthy was fired after 13 seasons with the Franchise.
Rewind the clock to the start of that era. The Packers were coming off their worst season in 14 years after going 4-12 in 2005.
