Packers choose 49ers' offensive coordinator

The Green Bay Packers have chosen their successor to Mike Sherman and are currently in negotiations to hire their new man.

The Packers have selected 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McCarthy as their head coach after a tremendous interview on Sunday afternoon. The team called the other candidates early Wednesday to inform them they had made their choice. McCarthy was the team's quarterbacks coach in 1999 where he coached Brett Favre under Ray Rhodes.

McCarthy was hired last year as Mike Nolan's offensive coordinator after serving in the same role under Jim Haslett in New Orleans. The two sides are scheduled to continue negotiations through the night in order to have a deal finalized by Thursday morning.

The team also interviewed coaches such as the Cowboys' Sean Payton, the Chargers' Wade Phillips, their current defensive coordinator Jim Bates, Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera among others.

McCarthy has coached a solid pedigree of quarterbacks including Favre, Rich Gannon, Aaron Brooks, Jake Delhomme and this past year No. 1 pick Alex Smith.
