Green Bay Packers interim coach Joe Philbin, with the support of Packers president Mark Murphy and general manager Brian Gutekunst, fired associate head coach/linebackers coach Winston Moss on Tuesday shortly after Moss wrote a critical tweet about the organization.

However, Philbin clarified that the tweet was not the only reason why the team decided to part ways with the longtime assistant.

“It's never about one thing,” Philbin said per Rob Demovsky of ESPN. “Again, I think it's important, as I said to the team, we've got to be professional, accountable, respectful and punctual. Those are the four things that we've got to do the next four weeks. And if we do all those things, we'll be in good shape.

“It wasn't about — again, you're talking to a guy who's never tweeted in his life, doesn't even know what Twitter is — so again, it's not about a tweet or anything like that. I just think the fit right now isn't where it needs to be.”

Moss joined the Packers along with former head coach Mike McCarthy in 2006 from the New Orleans Saints' staff. Moss was a linebackers coach in Green Bay for 13 seasons and McCarthy's assistant head coach for the last 12.

Moss sent out a critical tweet about McCarthy's firing on Tuesday. He also suggested that Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers must be held accountable.

There’s probably truth to Philbin’s statement that Moss’ tweet wasn’t the sole reason for his dismissal. Given his close ties with McCarthy, he likely wasn’t long for his job in Green Bay, anyway. But at the very least, his tweet hastened his exit from the Packers by a significant amount of time.
