The 2018 season was the Green Bay Packers ' 98th season in the National Football League , their 100th overall and their 13th and final season under head coach Mike McCarthy . After missing the playoffs for the first time since 2008 and losing quarterback Aaron Rodgers to injury during their 2017 season, the Packers failed to improve their 7–9 record from last season and finished with a 6–9–1 record, their worst since 2008 .
For the first time since 2007 , Jordy Nelson did not play for the Packers as he signed with the Oakland Raiders via free agency during the offseason.
On January 7, 2018, Brian Gutekunst was named the new general manager , after Ted Thompson took over as the senior advisor to football operations.[2] [3]
On December 2, 2018, after a 4–7–1 start, Mike McCarthy was fired hours after the Packers’ Week 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and Joe Philbin was named as the interim head coach.[4] After a loss to the Chicago Bears in week 15, the Packers were eliminated from the postseason. This was the first time the Packers missed the postseason in back to back years since 2005 to 2006 . This was also the first time the Packers suffered from back to back losing seasons since 1990 to 1991 , a year before Brett Favre 's arrival. Despite the Packers's losing record, Aaron Rodgers had one of the most productive seasons of his career, with three games in which he threw for 400 or more passing yards, including a meaningless week 16 game against the Jets, in which he passed for 442 yards in a comeback win.
Coaching moves [ ]
After missing the playoffs, the Packers made several coaching changes during its offseason, in addition to selecting Brian Gutekunst as the team's new GM.[5] [6] Notable coaching changes included:
Dom Capers was fired as defensive coordinator, and replaced by former New York Jets defensive coordinator and Cleveland Browns head coach Mike Pettine .[7]
Edgar Bennett was fired as Offensive Coordinator, and replaced by Joe Philbin , who had previously served as the Packers Offensive Coordinator from 2007 to 2011.[8]
Mike Trgovac was fired as Defensive Line Coach, and replaced by Jerry Montgomery .[9]
Alex Van Pelt left as Quarterbacks Coach, and was replaced by Frank Cignetti Jr. [10]
Luke Getsy left as Receivers Coach, and was replaced by David Raih .[11]
