Aaron Rodgers was as surprised as anyone when he heard the news that the Green Bay Packers have parted ways with longtime head coach Mike McCarthy. The Packers quarterback, who worked under McCarthy since 2005, talked about the coaching change in an interview posted by Packers.com.
But it's what he said about what he was doing when he learned about the coaching news that really has fans buzzing.
"I was at home with my folks in town for my birthday, and I found out…I was as shocked as many of were."
In fact, just two weeks ago, Aaron Rodgers' brother, Bachelorette alum Jordan Rodgers, called out the Packers quarterback for not contacting their parents as wildfires approached their California home.
After Aaron Rodgers pledged to donate $1 million to assist victims impacted by the wildfires that raged near his hometown in Northern California, Jordan Rodgers took to Twitter to allege that his wealthy brother did not check in on their mother Darla, who was home alone during the fires as she prepared to evacuate the family home in Chico, California. Jordan also accused his famous brother of not calling their parents to make sure they were safe, blasting him for missing "the fundamental first step of compassion" by not checking in on the family. Jordan added that Aaron's philanthropic actions felt like "an act."
