GREEN BAY, Wis., March 4 (UPI) -- The Green Bay Packers Friday signed Coach Mike McCarthy to a five-year contract extension informally agreed to shortly after the Packers won the Super Bowl.
McCarthy, in his fifth season, led the Packers to the Super Bowl crown as the sixth and last seed in the National Football Conference. The Packers defeated Philadelphia, Atlanta and Chicago -- all on the road -- to get to the title game before knocking off Pittsburgh 31-25.
