Mike wraps it up

Packers head coach Mike McCarthy held his season ending news conference this afternoon at the Lambeau Field Media Auditorium.  It lasted about 30 minutes and covered just about every topic imaginable.  Some of the more minor details included JohnKuhn suffering a knee sprain that will keep the fullback out of his first Pro Bowl unfortunately. Greg Jennings suffered a rib sprain against the Giants in the NFC Divisional Playoff but he should be able to play in Hawaii, along with Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews, Charles Woodson and Scott Wells.  McCarthy and his staff will coach the NFC squad in Honolulu on January 29.  Mike spent Monday and Tuesday conducting exit interviews with every player, Wednesday he reviewed all aspects of the defense with coordinator Dom Capers, he'll do the same with special teams and Shaun Slocum Thursday and finally Joe Philbin and the offense on Friday.  Philbin interviewed with the Miami Dolphins for a second time and is among the three finalists for the job.  There's also a report quarterback coach Tom Clements will interview for the Tampa Bay head coaching position.  McCarthy said he has a quality staff and there will be opportunities for some in the coming weeks.  There was also plenty of big picture questioning and to hear the highlights, click on the link below.  It was odd leaving the stadium today after grinding through another campaign that began in July and carried to the post-season, with such a suddenly disappointing finish.  Time for the team, the fans and yes, the media to decompress a little bit before the cycle starts over with free agency, the draft, the mini-camps, organized team activities, training camp and...can't wait 'till next year!
