The Green Bay Packers fired head coach Mike McCarthy Sunday after a 20-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Offensive coordinator Joe Philbin will take over as interim coach of the 4-7-1 Packers.
In 13 years at the helm of the Packers, McCarthy compiled a 125-77-2 record that included a Super Bowl victory in 2010.
“The 2018 season has not lived up to the expectations and standards of the Green Bay Packers. As a result, I made the difficult decision to relieve Mike McCarthy of his role as head coach, effective immediately,” Packers president and CEO Mike Murphy said in a statement. “Mike has been a terrific head coach and leader of the Packers for 13 seasons, during which time we experienced a great deal of success on and off the field.”
