Green Bay Packers Sign Mike McCarthy To Multi-Year Contract Extension
“We are very pleased to finalize this agreement with Mike,” GM Ted Thompson said. “He’s a good football coach, a good leader, and a good man. I look forward to working with Mike into the future.”
McCarthy also made a statement in the release issued by the team:
“I want to thank the Green Bay Packers, especially Mark Murphy and Ted Thompson, for the continued commitment and confidence they have shown in our program,” McCarthy said. “We were very excited to bring the Lombardi Trophy back home this past season, and we look forward to the challenge of continuing to improve as a football team and adding to the championship legacy here. My family and I love being in Green Bay. It’s always going to be my home, and we are very happy to continue to be a part of this community.”
This was a no-brainer, right? McCarthy’s a young coach, who took an injury-ridden team all the way to the Super Bowl -- and won it. Impressive coaching job by McCarthy in 2010.
