Matt LaFleur has been the Green Bay Packers‘ head coach for seven seasons. He’s led the Packers to the playoffs in six of seven seasons. Yet, there’s reportedly a possibility he won’t be asked to return for an eighth, but of course, Green Bay’s postseason success will be a factor.
Recently, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk highlighted several reasons why the Packers may not only move on from coach LaFleur but also possibly general manager Brian Gutekunst. Even more fascinating is the coach Florio mentions as a potential replacement for LaFleur.
While he hinted at it in the text above, Florio made the case for why the Packers could wind up ousting LaFleur, only to turn to two-time NFL Coach of the Year Kevin Stefanski.
Going from LaFleur, who ranks 16th on the NFL’s all-time win-percentage list (65.9%) as a head coach, to Stefanski, who has a sub-.500 win rate at 44% would seemingly be a significant downgrade. It’s hard to imagine Packers fans getting on board with this move.
Plus, if Stefanski isn’t good enough for the Cleveland Browns, who’s to say he’s the right man to bring more success to the Green Bay Packers? It would be arguably the wildest move of the offseason, and one that will surely rile up a fanbase that should otherwise have a lot to look forward to.
