The two-time NFL MVP created a stir during Super Bowl week when he appeared on ESPN Radio’s “Golic & Wingo” and vented about Van Pelt’s departure, saying that coach Mike McCarthy moved on from Van Pelt “really without consulting me. There’s a close connection between quarterback and quarterback coach. And that was an … interesting decision.”
McCarthy announced during his season-ending Jan. 4 news conference that Van Pelt would not return, calling it “a personal contractual decision that him and I both mutually agreed on.” Multiple NFL sources said Van Pelt did not sign a contract extension before last season because he wanted to pursue an offensive coordinator job.
