McCarthy launched his head coaching career with the Green Bay Packers on Jan. 12, 2006, and in 12-plus years as their head coach, he guided one of the most successful stretches in franchise history, reaching the postseason in eight consecutive seasons (2009-16). With his Super Bowl XLV victory, McCarthy joined Vince Lombardi and Mike Holmgren as the only coaches to guide the Packers to a Super Bowl win.

Known as a prolific offensive mind – and the primary play-caller – McCarthy’s Packers offense finished fourth in the NFL in total offense and third in points-per-game in total through his tenure with the club. Behind the arm of Aaron Rodgers, over that same span, the Packers were third in passing offense. Additionally, over the course of 13 years with the Packers, his offenses regularly ranked in the top-10 in passing yards (10 times), total offense (nine) and scoring offense (nine).

In Week 6 of 2015, McCarthy earned the 100th regular season win of his career in just his 150th game, making him the seventh-fastest coach in NFL history and the then fastest current NFL coach to reach the 100-win plateau. Two years later in Week 6 of 2017, McCarthy coached his 200th career game, including postseason, and having compiled 128 victories, he tied Bud Grant and Chuck Noll for the sixth-most wins by a head coach through 200 games. McCarthy is only the fourth head coach in NFL history to lead a single franchise to eight or more consecutive playoff appearances, joining Tom Landry, Noll and Bill Belichick. Those eight appearances from 2009-16 were more than the rest of the NFC North Division combined over that span (Minnesota, three; Detroit, three; Chicago, one).
