Packers Discussion: Is Matt LaFleur still coaching for his job?

There’s a very real chance that the Green Bay Packers, who books seem to believe will be sitting out their starters in Week 18, will end the regular season by finishing the year 0-4. After locking in the seventh seed for the third year in a row, some are wondering whether Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, who new Green Bay president and CEO Ed Policy did not extend this offseason, is still fighting for his job in 2026.

I want to hear what you guys think.

For the most part, I really see one of two things happening this offseason:

1. LaFleur gets a multi-year extension.
2. LaFleur gets offered a short-term extension (which would really benefit the team more than anything else), but he turns it down and goes into 2026 in a true contract year situation.

I don’t think that he’s going to be gone in 2026. I think all of the injuries mounting really gives the team the opportunity to just run the 2025 squad back (down a couple of free agents and with a few new draft picks) next year, with the hope that this time around they’ll be healthier.

Obviously, a big blowout loss in the wild-card round, depending on how it looks, could change things, but it would need to look like the Packers’ Week 17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens for things to even move the needle. Remember, that was the first game all year that Green Bay lost by more than a possession.

But let’s hear where you guys think all things LaFleur are at, now that our eyes are on the postseason.
