Matt LaFleur is not a winner either. This team was never going anywhere, but you gotta put that game away. It never should have been close yet every Packer fan who has watched MLF coached teams knew that game was far from over. Says at half he needs to keep foot on the gas and then goes conservative to start second half. Proceeds to lose. Hes just not a winner, and while I am proud to say I enjoy the unique ownership structure of the team, the lack of a singular owner means you hold onto losers longer than you otherwise would. It happened with McCarthy after he's coaching ability went in decline, we allowed Ted Thompson to be our GM with literal dementia for years draft for us, and now we are hanging on to MLF. Hes never been a good coach, just bless with Rodgers and Love.
Do you think they will let him go?
They didn't extend his contract. They planned to discuss in the offseason. He's under contract through 2026, I think this game makes it a much more realistic possibility we either let him coach out his deal or move on. We need a culture change. Funny enough Ian Rappaport said that MLF wasn't coaching for his job tonight, can't imagine this game helped...
The only way I'd be fine retaining him is of the Packers hired an actual OC and removed play calling from MLF. He gets too in his head, calls a brilliant first half and gets conservative or too cute it's insane to watch. He also is terrible at identifying and moving on from weaknesses in his other assistants like the disaster that was Rich Bisaccia and Special Teams for YEARS... But if your Head coach sucks at clock management, sucks at building a good staff of coaches and has a undisciplined team, and no longer calls his own plays... Why are you keeping him!!!
It's funny. They have had a lot of success during the regular season but the playoffs have been a disaster.
This was a tough one. Team has a lot of injuries but you have to be able to close this game out with a 21-3 lead.
