Packers hiring LaFleur.

[Joemailman]

I will pay $5 for a reporter to ask if he is considering changing his name to Mike.

Cleft Crusty would probably do it for $1.50.

So not like the Holmgren hire.

Can confirm that the #Packers are working on hiring #Titans offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur, who interviewed on Sunday and apparently did a great job. The #Packers were the only team to interview LaFleur.

Asked about the hire if you are a Packer fan:

Mike Tanier @MikeTanier
I think I would approach it the way I did when the Eagles replaced Andy Reid with Chip Kelly: a mixture of cautious enthusiasm and creeping dread.
(Also how I face most mornings)


For the record, I am in favor of this. New blood. If he hires an OC and gives him play calling I will give him a crown.

I think we have to. I can't afford to type four letters when two will do.

If you ignore winning a Super Bowl.

LaFleur, Monken and Bieniemy were my 3 favorites. Hope Murphy got the right one.

he was handed a HOF QB and given a HOF CB togo with a damn good defense that year

it was a fart in the wind

C'mon. The odds with those two things on a team are still below 25%. He did it, he deserves the credit.

We completed an exhaustive process of speaking to guys named Mike, Marshall, Mort, Mark, Mason... and settled on Matt.

He's been with both Shanahan and McVay.

Houston Texans
LaFleur then was hired in 2008 by the Houston Texans to serve as an offensive assistant. He assisted both wide receivers and quarterbacks during his two-year stint there and developed a close relationship with coordinator Kyle Shanahan.

Washington Redskins
When Shanahan's father Mike was hired by the Redskins, Kyle brought LaFleur to Washington to coach the quarterbacks.[2] A primary responsibility of LaFleur's for the 2012 season was to mentor rookie quarterbacks Robert Griffin III and Kirk Cousins, whom LaFleur was particularly fond of.[3]

Atlanta Falcons
On February 5, 2015, LaFleur was hired to be the Quarterbacks coach for the Atlanta Falcons working under offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, whom he previously had worked under when with the Washington Redskins. Matt's brother, Mike, was the offensive assistant with the Falcons as well.[4]

In the 2016 season, Matt helped coach Matt Ryan to winning the league MVP. LaFleur and the Falcons also reached Super Bowl LI, where they faced the New England Patriots on February 5, 2017. In the Super Bowl, the Falcons fell in a 34–28 overtime defeat.[5]

Los Angeles Rams
On February 8, 2017, LaFleur joined the Los Angeles Rams coaching staff as the offensive coordinator, working under Head Coach Sean McVay, whom he previously had worked with during his tenure with the Washington Redskins.[6]

Tennessee Titans
On January 30, 2018, LaFleur left his position with the Rams to take the same position with the Tennessee Titans.[7] Joining new head coach Mike Vrabel, LaFleur had the opportunity of calling the plays for the Titans, essentially being a promotion from his former position as offensive coordinator with the Rams.

Green Bay Packers
On January 7, 2019, it was announced that the Green Bay Packers would hire LaFleur to fill their head coaching vacancy. This is LaFleur's first head coaching position.

so hold up. matt has a brother named mike?

why the fuck didn't we hire that one?

[Iron Mike]

Hmmmm, LaFleur's from the Mike Shanahan coaching tree, so I guess we're back to OL zone blocking scheme. Anyone know what Larry Beichtol or Jeff Jagodzinski is up to??

If Jeff Jags ends up back here I am going back to the pitchforks and effigy plan.
