The Mike McCarthy came to an abrupt end after he spent 13 seasons with the team. There's a new story that broke out today about how the reign of the Packers crumbled rapidly.

According to Tyler Dunne of Bleacher Report, there were defensive players who believed that McCarthy was solely focused on just the offensive aspects of the team.

Here's an excerpt:

The Packers also rarely hit in training camp, and it angered defensive players “every day” how little interest McCarthy showed in them. He was never around their drills, the former starter says, and it was always the defense sprinting to the offense's side of the field for team drills.

“What guys did on defense did not matter,” he says. “This is an offensive-minded team, and our quarterback is expected to bail us out. As defenders, we used to always talk about it. It's like, ‘We whupped their ass today in camp. Are they going to finally run to us? Respect us?'”
