"While the power structure within the Green Bay Packers' front office remains in a state of flux"

Murphy said the power structure remains. So how is it in flux? Murphy will hire the coach with "heavy input" from BG. And, I assume Ball as well. You may not like the power structure and that's fine. I'm not sure it's ideal either. However, it is anything but in flux.

I actually want to see ARod calls his own plays these last four games and see any difference.

From what I’ve read, MM was “relieved” of his duties as HC. Until an agreement between the two parties is reached, he is still under contract through the 2019 season. Also, MM might want to earn the money from that last year (without having to do anything). It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

"The Packers could be stuck in limbo for the twilight of quarterback Aaron Rodgers' career."

It's common knowledge that AR did not see eye-to-eye with MM and AR changed a lot of MM's play calling at the line of scrimmage. We have no way of knowing how many plays were actually called by MM or AR.

I just want to make the point that AR was very much at fault in the Packers' last three losses against the Seahawks, the Vikings, and the Cardinals. They were all winnable games, and AR's execution of plays left much to be desired.

I am not confident at all that after MM is gone the Packers will play better. After all, we're stuck with AR who's evidently played badly this year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though and hoping that AR will prove me wrong in future games.

With all this talk about getting some "new young creative offensive genius" type person to head the team and crossing your fingers that he "gets along" with the smartest qb in all of the NFL and possibly NFL history. Why not do some creativity with the hiring process and just make Aaron Rodgers the first player/head coach in modern day NFL history. He's certainly capable of running a team himself without someone else telling him what to do. Why waste money again and risk another clash with "The Great One"? This is what he wants, complete control of the team. He was able to get rid of McCarthy probably with just a "look" at Murphy who knows. Let's change things up. The hell with some puppet coaching while Rodgers holds the strings. Put the master in charge and let's see what happens. As long as he's here, it's probably our best option until he's either traded or retires.

<<Execution has been one of the Packers' biggest downfalls in 2018, but sooner or later, some things are an indictment on the coaching staff.>>

Exactly. It was time to point to the coaches last year (defense) and this year HC after years of rotating in new players....with same ole results. Eventually....you have to indict the leadership.

Thanks McCarthy for the good over past years, and wish you well.
High integrity and quality man and coach.

How the hell did MM get the label "quarterback guru"? Total failure to have a reliable back for AR for years. Matt Flynn had a couple of decent games and turned out to be a total wash. At least they got a draft pick for Hundley, they had no idea how to use him. Kizer came in and looked totally lost against the Bears in game one. He had AR and let him save the day until he lost control of him this year. All the pieces fell into place early for TT and MM and settled for the status quo, it had to end this way. Sadly , it should have been sooner.

He should have been fired after the 2013 and 2014 debacles. Lost opening games to sf/sea then lost last game vs both clubs.
Proving MM has a tough time adjusting in a game or over a season.
He has been out coached so many times it defies logic.
Arod carried him without him he would have been gone much sooner.
Good Freaking riddance.
PS no doubt Arod tanked the season to get rid of him.
Trade him and truly start fresh.
Sick of half measures.

The last 3 weeks in the 2nd half. 3 points against Seattle, 3 points against the queens, 7 against the Cards.

This team could very easily be 2-9-1 right now or 6-7-1 at best. Let the hunt continue Murphy.

While I thought MM was a good coach from the sense of an offense perspective, he failed in, in game adjustments and situational football. I really don't care if we bring in a defensive or an offensive minded head coach. But what I do want is a coach that understands situational football, clock management, not wasting timeouts and does good with in-game adjustments. I just want to see a team prepared for big games and not look disorganized when trying to figure out whether to go for it on 4th and 1 and wasting a timeout to do so. You have to be two or three plays ahead in this game.

Rodgers reads/calls at the LOS were definitely not as good as Brady & Brees. And what Peyton Manning was like.
So many times, I saw Arod check into a run, of stick with the run in a RPO, & hand it off for a no gainer, or even a loss, as the box was stacked.

And how many open deep balls did Rodgers either overthrow & miss, or underthrow, leading to a nice gain but no TD?

I hope 12 was just "off" a little this year -and not A) missing some key throws on purpose to get MM Fired or B) never gonna be the same because of the screws or plates in his throwing collarbone.

Players play, coordinators coordinate and coaches coach. I’m still not 100% sure who was involved in personnel decisions....if it was the coach, management or the cap person. Keeping certain players way way too long. Leaving Rodgers short of Quality receivers and tight ends the last couple of yrs. Just look at our own division....Stafford has always had pretty good WRs, Cutler had good receivers, Turdbiskut in chi town has good WR. Letting Nelson walk and absolutely zero replacement .....c mon man. Overpaying slot receivers....I’m not sure if that’s on the coach. I think Mark Murphy should have been shown the door as well.
“After nearly 13 seasons with the team, McCarthy's 125 wins ranks first in the NFC since 2006.”

But ultimately, the coach has to get guys hungry and ready to play...and we haven’t seen that for awhile. So it was probably time.
