Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy doesn’t regret his decision to give up play-calling duties last year, but don’t expect him to ever do it again.

“I’ll never do that again,” McCarthy said, via Tom Pelissero of the USA Today.

McCarthy gave up the duties to offensive coordinator Tom Clements last season in attempt to more adequately oversee the entirety of the team. However, the Packers offense floundered after injuries piled up leading McCarthy to restore himself as the team’s play-caller mid season.

McCarthy said the decision to give the duties to Clements in the first place was a carefully thought out decision. The decision to resume handling the play-calling was equally thought out.

“It wasn’t popular,” he said. “It’s something that you didn’t want to do. But I had to do what I thought was best for the football team.”

McCarthy also said he went back and evaluated the team’s entire playbook to give a fresh look at why certain plays were in the game plans and how they had developed through the years.

That playbook will have McCarthy behind the call sheet from now until whenever he is done coaching the Packers.
