The doubters will say LaFleur rode the coattails of his former quarterback and that with Love running his offense, the head coach will prove to be not quite as good as his historic winning percentage indicates. That blanket and/or bird is of course former quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who’s of course now a New York Jet. For his advocates, LaFleur had an albatross removed from his back. For the first time in 15 years, there’s a new starting quarterback in command.įor his critics, LaFleur’s security blanket is gone. That might be crazy talk in normal circumstances for a coach who has won over 70% of his games, but these are not normal times in Titletown. If there’s one person in the Green Bay Packers franchise not named Jordan Love with the most to prove this year, it might actually be the team’s fourth year head coach. Matt LaFleur, welcome to the first day of the rest of your life.
