It’s been a little over a month since Mike McCarthy was fired by Green Bay Packers, but the 55-year-old is already willing to get back into the game. According to NFL Insider Ian Rapaport, McCarthy plans to interview with the New York Jets and Cleveland Brown for their head coaching vacancies.

Thanks to his accomplished CV, which includes Super Bowl trophy and being in the top 10 most winning coaches in the history of the league, McCarthy garnered interest from several NFL teams in the recent weeks. He already refused the opportunity to interview with the Arizona Cardinals, but according to sources, that didn’t mean he will take the year off.

The reason Mike McCarthy might emerge as a leading candidate for both the Jets and the Browns is his reputation for being great with young quarterbacks. He is credited for developing Aaron Rodgers into one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFL, something both New York and Cleveland hope he could achieve with Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield respectively.

 McCarthy worked in NFL since 1993 on several positions, including being an offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers. He joined the Packers in 2006 and spent almost 13 years with the franchise before being fired in December 2018. His coaching record includes being 125–77–2 in the regular season and 10-8 in the postseason.

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.
