Many consider the vacant head coaching position at Green Bay Packers the most prestigious job available in the NFL at the moment. Well, former Arizona Cardinals’ coach Bruce Arians doesn’t think so.

Arians, who retired at the end of the last season, told Zach Gelb of CBS Sports Radio that he is not interested coming out of retirement to replace Mike McCarthy in Green Bay. The 66-year-old would, however, think twice about coaching the Cleveland Browns.

“No, not at all,” – said Arians when asked whether he is interested in coaching the Packers. “If I ever return to coaching it will only be in Cleveland.“

Even when Gelb pointed out that head coaching Green Bay Packers and their quarterback Aaron Rodgers is among the most desirable jobs in the league, Bruce Arians remained unconvinced.

“Yeah, it is,” – he said. “It’s just I have no desire to coach in Green Bay.”

The reason Arians would consider coaching the Browns, who also fired their coach Hue Jackson recently, is because he has fond memories of the organization when he served as their offensive coordination between 2001 and 2003.

Bruce Arians took over the Arizona Cardinals in 2013, and only had one below .500 season during his tenure with the team. He decided to retire from coaching after 2017 season wrapped up, citing his desire to spend more time with his family as the reason. Arians’ record during five seasons in Arizona is 58-33-1.

After suffering an embarrassing 17-20 loss at home from 2-9 Arizona Cardinals and losing the chance to reach the playoffs, Green Bay Packers have decided to fire their head coach Mike McCarthy. Although it is a surprise that the Packers made this decision mid-season, McCarthy was on a hot seat for some time and was expected to leave at the end of the year.

Green Bay named offensive coordinator Joe Philbin as an interim head coach. Philbin already has head coaching experience, having coached Miami Dolphins from 2012 to 2015.

The decision to fire Mike McCarthy was confirmed by Packers president Mark Murphy on Sunday night.

“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,” – said Murphy 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. We want to thank Mike, his wife, Jessica, and the rest of the McCarthy family for all that they have done for the Packers and the Green Bay and Wisconsin communities. We will immediately begin the process of selecting the next head coach of the Green Bay Packers.”

Mike McCarthy joined the Green Bay Packers in 2006 and managed to lead the team to playoffs in nine out of his first 11 seasons in charge. Although Packers managed to won one Super Bowl trophy under McCarthy, the 55-year-old also missed out on several opportunities to win more titles having lost three NFC Championship games.

McCarthy has a 125–77–2 regular season record as Green Bay coach while being 10-8 in the postseason.
