Looking back it seems like ownership messed up not making LaFleur HC
January 15, 2024
They made Vrabel coach because he was more alpha. It seemed to work out in the short term but doomed us to a revolving door of OCs. Then Vrabel the alpha got too greedy and had to be canned anyways meanwhile LaFleur developed a QB into a potential star.

Hindsight. His offense when he was here was not particularly good. We’d love to have him now, but if they had made that switch at the time everyone would have called them crazy
He also had time to develop with Aaron Rodgers before jumping in with Love who got to sit and learn. The NFL is brutal. No guarantee it would have worked out here. Still, I don’t necessarily disagree with OP. Many said the same thing about Art though–and look how he did in ATL.
He got hired bcz he’s in the McVay coaching tree (I think… might be some other one)
But he was pretty unremarkable when he coached for us, granted, we had a weak roster
I wanted LaFleur back then over Vrabel. Mainly because he was an offensive minded coach from a great system. I’m not a fan of defensive head coaches and I really hope they don’t make the same mistake again.
LaFleur also preferred Dion Lewis over Derrick Henry, so…
LaFleur was a win, but at the time he was still having growing pains. That, and their front office did what Green Bay did and invested in their QB of the future. They’ve maintained stability to a franchise that has not gone without a solid QB situation since the 90’s
I hated him as an OC. Was surprised when Packers hired him. These last 10 games he’s proved a lot of wrong wrong thought.
Lol nah. We messed up firing Mike Vrabel
Packers fans incoming. Sure LaFluer is good but our QB coach is a QB whisperer. Tom Clements the 🐐
🤡
Lazy stillman hindsight take.
And this is exactly why we need to hire the young innovative OC this time around and stay with him through the growing pains. Ideally pair him with an older vet DC like Jim Schwartz who doesn’t have HC aspirations and can help guide them along – just like the Rams did with McVay and Wade Phillips
Jerry Jones in a Dress may not be the leader we think she is.
Lmao sports fans are weird.
What playing Dallas in the playoffs does to a MF
LaFleurs offense was just as bad as Downings and Kelly’s with way more talent.
I said it.
Talk that talk, cuz it’s truth
Hindsights 20/20, also I feel like Rodgers helped LaFleur become the coach he is.
LaFleur wasn’t that great here either
L take
Hindsight is golden. LaFleur needed time to grow into the HC he is today. Vrabes was obvious choice back then.
He is .500 with one play off win post Arod y’all kill me.
can we not look back and rather look in front? im done looking behind

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That was apparent early on.
LaFleur was on the hot seat as recently as Halloween. [Source](https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/news/matt-lafleur-among-favorites-to-be-first-nfl-coach-fired) He’s done a nice job turning the ship around this season, but you’d be hard pressed to ever convince me he would have been a good coach here playing Dion over Henry.
