GREEN BAY — Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy's season-ending press conference and reporters' session with assistant coaches were both abruptly postponed Wednesday after what the team's public relations department described as a personal matter within the coaching staff.

Packers PR director Jason Wahlers notified reporters of the postponement about an hour before McCarthy's press conference was set to begin at 11 a.m. CST.

The Packers weren't saying what the personal matter was or identifying which coach it involved. But Wahlers made it clear that the situation is not football-related and did not involve any sort of staff changes.

The team has not announced when McCarthy's press conference will be held or when assistant coaches will speak to reporters. The Packers' season ended with a 28-22 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday.

He didn't show because he already hit his "target" for number of press conferences he wanted to do in a season.

Just 47 years old, that's a tough one.
Condolences to the entire McCarthy family.

Mike McCarthy's Brother 

Brother of Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy passed away.
Joe McCarthy passed away after collapsing at a Pittsburgh-area gym. He was just 47 years old.

The medical examiner says McCarthy was taken to UPMC Passavant Hospital in McCandless where he was pronounced dead on Wednesday, January 21st. An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday.

Mike McCarthy was scheduled to be in front of cameras on Wednesday morning to give a news conference at Lambeau Field wrapping up the Green Bay Packers season. It was cancelled at the last minute.

I am chosen by many but taken by no one.

When they said the conferences were cancelled due to a personal matter, I was fearing a death. Then I read all the responses from the "best fans in the world" and was utterly disgusted at how insensitive people were being. None of us knew, but that's not reason to be a douche.

Can't begin to imagine what he or the McCarthy family is going through.

I don't feel bad for suggesting what I suggested, just as I feel terrible for him in losing his brother. One has nothing to do with the other for me.

Obviously, I had no idea why he missed his presser.

It has been a brutal time in MM's professional and now personal life. Two traumas like this so close together makes you wonder if he'll want to keep coaching.
