Smart move ... now they can get that ground work set for getting their next head coach.  The only current competition is the Browns.

Exactly.

Everyone knew Mac was done in Green Bay. Well everyone other than a few dead enders.

The organization can now focus on getting the best head coach possible into GB so we can get back to being Super Bowl contenders.

Here's a good question: Who's going to get to a Super Bowl first, Aaron Rodgers or Mike McCarthy? Don't bet all your money on Rodgers. Let's see where McCarthy winds up.

Belichick retries and he's hired and Brady stays to prove it wasn't all BB lol

Could you imagine

Pure speculation - I think we're going to be hearing about a major blowup that occurred this week or immediately following today's game. Otherwise the timing makes no sense.

 

Non-speculation - One thing I can say definitively is that this is not a chance to evaluate Philbin. He is not a candidate.

Kind of wish they let him ride it out to ensure more loses for better draft pick.

Ehh, Shmoe Phillbin is not going to get this team to drastically improve their performance.

He's just an extension of Mac's outdated system and non-existent coaching tree (because, you know, Mac is a Top 3 coach).

Is this a joke?  

No, he's gone. But, this seeming hatred for McCarthy is unseemly. The guy was an important part of developing Rodgers as a QB. They worked together very well for years, and MM had a lot of success as a coach. Was he perfect? Nope. But he was very, very good. The thing is, sometimes things get stale. And that happened with McCarthy and Rodgers and the offense and the lack of talent drafted by TT, and not going into FA enough to fill holes (the Packers didn't even make an offer to Danny Trevathan when he was a FA when it was obvious they were sorely in need of an upgrade at LBer- sound familiar?). There is a lot of blame to go around, but lets not forget that MM also took this team to the championship game three times, putting them over the top once. Now, the Packers realistically have one chance to get the right coach for this team. Oh, and lets all hope that Cole Madison reports for camp and shows he can handle the RT position, so Bulaga can be moved inside (maybe this is a good idea, maybe its stupid). But get ready for a rocking off-season
