Fourteen years. One Super Bowl win. Two MVPs. Five NFC North titles. That's what Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers achieved together in Green Bay.
McCarthy and Rodgers have both embarked on different chapters after leaving the Packers, but unbelievably, they could reunite for one final dance.
On Tuesday, the Steelers introduced McCarthy as their new head coach. It was McCarthy at his best. He was emotional, spoke about the love he has for Pittsburgh, and what it means to lead his hometown team. Predictably, McCarthy also faced a question on Rodgers' future, who is a free agent after leading the Steelers to the playoffs this season.
When asked whether he wants Rodgers back, McCarthy made his stance crystal clear.
"Definitely, I don't know why you wouldn't," McCarthy said.

The NFL. Forever unpredictable.
McCarthy and Rodgers won a Super Bowl by defeating Mike Tomlin's Steelers. Rodgers just spent a season playing under Tomlin, and now it's McCarthy replacing Tomlin.
So much was made about the relationship between McCarthy and Rodgers in Green Bay and the offense going stale after spending so many years together. Rodgers won his second MVP in 2014, but outside of the run-the-table magic in 2016, he rarely hit those heights consistently until Matt LaFleur arrived.

But the two have remained close, and McCarthy proved he is still an excellent offensive coach during his time in Dallas. The Cowboys have won 12-plus games only six times since 1995, three of which were under McCarthy's leadership.
McCarthy helped Dak Prescott produce two of his best statistical seasons. In their four years together, Prescott threw for 13,681 yards, 105 touchdowns, and 38 interceptions, with a 101.3 rating. The Cowboys went 33-17.
Rodgers doesn't have the same mobility that once allowed him to extend plays at an elite level, but he can still make a difference. This season, he threw for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, with a 94.8 rating, leading the Steelers to a 10-6 record in the 16 games he played.
The Steelers hired McCarthy to develop their long-term starter at QB, but in the meantime, the door is wide open for one last dance between the HC-QB combination that led the Packers to their most recent Super Bowl.
