Rapoport – Sources say the Packers plan to engage head coach Matt LaFleur in contract discussions shortly after the season ends, with the mutual goal of extending his contract. LaFleur, whose deal expires following the 2026 season, has a 76-40-1 record
His compensation should have significant bonuses for winning the division and winning playoff games
Good stuff no lame ducks
Obviously.
GB has always waited to extend coaches until they are in a contract year.
Smart decision. Yeah, end of the regular season (and probably playoffs) is disappointing, Matt had this team at 9-3-1 before injuries became too much to overcome.
I have a bigger issue with Gute and some big blunders he made putting together the roster.
Why though?..
Smh.
Better not be some 1 year extension like they did McCarthy – that will just kill the ability to rebuild the D after Hafley leaves.
Get him an OC then! Dude needs to delegate a little bit.
Boooooooooo
People who want him gone are insane IMO.
The grass isn’t always greener. Extending MLF should be a no brainer.
The Packers generally do their leaking through Rapaport. So I think it’s likely coming directly from the team. They are probably getting sick of this conversation.
Without an immediately apparent better prospect out there I see why
MLF is proven to be pretty good, rolling the dice on someone untested who could possibly be incredible is risky. If suddenly Kyle Shanahan wanted to come to GB I’d be receptive but IDK if there’s that many proven people out there without a job at this time
Hopefully accompanies an off season conversation about making the necessary changes at coaching a year early instead of a year late like we are known to be with letting players go. Something has to give with getting a real OC and switching things up at ST. I like Matt though.
Im fine with this! Just fire ST coach
Thank goodness we can finally put the dumbest storyline of our season to bed
Ok cool, theyll talk on February 9th
The obvious choice
My co-worker is dead set that he will be canned if they lose today. I just could not follow….
Honestly this is the smartest thing they could do. I’m not really seeing anyone out there that I would pick over LaFleur, despite his faults. I think he’s got the locker room behind him and even though this season has been a little disappointing after the start we had, I’m honestly really hopeful for next year but still looking forward to beating the Bears tonight.
7th seed goat
Only smooth brain fans think he should be fired. No one better out there at the moment. Resign but make it HEAVY in goal based incentives
MLF haters in absolute shambles rn
If we get embarrassed today he needs to go.
I’d rather fire him and hire Harbaugh with McDaniel as OC.
rip to our future
Interesting, I was kinda thinking his seat might be hit next year unless we go on a real run to the Super Bowl or something this year.
He puts together some great offensive schemes though so it would be tough to replace him with someone better on that side of the ball.
But I’d also say that record is a little misleading with 2019, 2020 and 2021 doing a lot of the heavy lifting there with an mvp Aaron Rodgers having some of his best seasons.
Since then, over a 4 year stretch which is a significant sample size we’ve gone 37-30-1 with no division titles and 1 playoff win heading into today with a chance to add on. Is that good enough? Idk. Is it all on him? Of course not. But to me if next year we sorta limped to a 7 seed again I’d start to wonder what we’re really accomplishing here.
Keep MLF
Honestly good
Firing him is whatever. But who would you get that’s an improvement? That’s the issue
With the amount of teams looking for a hc, I feel that replacing MF would almost certainly result in a downgrade.
Yes, great news!! Hopefully the silly fire MLF crowd can go away
Or we could just get John Harbaugh
#I WAS TOLD HE WOULD BE REPLACED BY HARBAUGH BY A NO NAME INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT
(if anyone is mad about extending MLF please pass your season tix down to me instead of cancelling them 🥺)
Being content with mediocrity… nice.
Hafley instead of MLF
Oh no, more shotgun runs and bad coordinator hires it is then 😕
Four more years of screens
I truly don’t want him if we lose today. Basically Mike McDaniel with better GM.
weird time for this to come out, since our season won’t end for almost another month
Hes a good coach, but we gotta raise the ceiling. The Bears, Vikings and Lions have all won the division more recently than us.
Good! Tired of the LaFleur hate.
Should of gotten it done earlier if thats the case.Its going to cost alot more now. Harbsugh is going to reset the market. Rumor is he wants $20 mil/yr.
Stipulate that all red flags remain out of Matt Lafleur’s reach at all times.

As we should!!
It would be stupid to fire him
We’re gonna lose by 40 tonight aren’t we
