That is the story of Mike McCarthy, whom the Green Bay Packers fired on Sunday night following an abysmal loss to the Arizona Cardinals.Monday was the media’s first chance to touch base with the players, most of whom found out about McCarthy’s firing like everyone else — through Twitter or television reports.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers hired Ravens front office veteran Milt Hendrickson as director of football operations on Thursday.Hendrickson has spent the past 14 seasons in the personnel department with Baltimore, a span that includes four division titles and a Super Bowl victory.

Russ Ball held the operations job last season. Green Bay is coming off a 6-9-1 season that left the Packers out of the playoffs for the second straight year.Hendrickson was a training-camp intern for Green Bay in 2004. He holds a master's degree in exercise and sports science-sports administration from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, where he was also an assistant coach in 1996.The Packers also named Kirk Olivadotti inside linebackers coach, Justin Outten tight ends coach and Adam Stenavich offensive line coach.Olivadotti has spent all 16 seasons as a coach in the NFL with the Washington Redskins, including the last five as inside linebackers coach.
