Packers CEO Mark Murphy indicated coach Mike McCarthy's firing was due to complacency, even though he didn't name names.

During newly-hired coach Matt LaFleur's introductory press conference Wednesday, Murphy said he talked to players from each position group to see what they could change after the team ended the season with a 6-9-1 record.

“They wanted someone who would hold the players accountable,” Murphy told reporters . “They felt a complacency had set in among some players and coaches. ... Is there something we could do to shake people up so they don’t have the complacency?”

At the end of the day, all players and staff reported to McCarthy. If there was complacency on the team, it was up to McCarthy to correct it.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has also expressed that there were times over the past couple seasons the team has lacked "juice."

McCarthy was fired at the beginning of December, leaving interim coach Joe Philbin to try and rally the Packers in the last month of the regular season.

Reports emerged that McCarthy intends to sit out the 2019 season after the Jets hired Adam Gase, but anything can change this offseason.
