After nearly 13 seasons, a 125-77-2 overall record, and a Super Bowl victory, Mike McCarthy saw his illustrious tenure as the head coach of the Green Bay Packers come to an end Sunday mere hours after his team fell 20-17 to the Arizona Cardinals. Though McCarthy likely sealed his fate weeks earlier, losing to one of the worst teams in the NFL apparently proved too ignominious for Packers brass to bear. The team announced the decision to fire their longtime head coach and name offensive coordinator Joe Philbin as the interim replacement in a short press release, formally ending the McCarthy era in Green Bay.
