Mike McCarthy's 13-year tenure in Green Bay is over as Packers start search for new head coach
Mike McCarthy

After 13 years in charge, Mike McCarthy was relieved of his duties as head coach of the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.

The 10-17 defeat to the Arizona Cardinals was the final straw for team president Mark Murphy.

“The 2018 season has not lived up to the expectations and standards of the Green Bay Packers,” Murphy said in a statement. “As a result, I made the difficult decision to relieve Mike McCarthy of his role as head coach, effective immediately.”
