Packers hiring LaFleur.

[Bretsky]

so a 39 year old QB coach to HC the whole team

yeah, rodgers is gonna walk all over him

he's called plays for exactly one season

We could have done worse; he was probably one of the 3-5 guys I would have been ok with. He may need some time to develop but who knows

[Bretsky]

I called that weeks ago.

so this is your fault )) ?

[Bretsky]

ok, turns out he went to the same school i did during the same time

i might have played some pickup games against him out at the athletic fields

NOW WE'RE F'CKED.....lol

[Bretsky]

old roomates wife knows him

time to kiss ass and get tickets

Is she hot ?

[Bretsky]

I like it too. I think it's a good shot at a potential good young offensive mind.

There is risk for a first-time HC but I don't think Kelly is the best comp. He didn't have the NFL experience that LaFleur did. Joe's post lines out a pretty good looking history of QB tutelage as well as several years with the Shanahan clan, which has been a pretty fertile tree.

Kelly also wanted a lot of control over the personnel. Indications are that will not be the case with LaFleur.

not to state the obvious, but a guy who has only been an OC for one year...….his best credentials appear to be a stellar QB coach, and graduate with RED.......who only GB requested to interview....isn't going to ask, nor should he, for any extra power

It would be great if we could land a stud OC

[Bretsky]

He plans to keep Pettine and defensive staff (which I'm a bit worried about with all but Pettine)

The Whole Defensive Staff ????

[Bretsky]

i'd like to know what qualifies him to have a good offensive mind? working for other people with good offensive minds?

cause he's had the chance to run an offense 1 time in his career, last year, and it was a disaster

ok, he's good at tutoring QBs. thats about the last thing we need. we needed someone to kick our QB in the ass, not teach him how to call a play in the pros

His BEST TRAIT....and WHY THIS COULD BE A GREAT HIRE...………….IS OBVIOUSLY

It was just a few weeks ago when former Wisconsin Badgers and Browns offensive tackle Joe Thomas was on ESPN Milwaukee’s “Wilde and Tausch” podcast singing the praises for new Packers head coach Matt LaFleur.

“I remember being in Cleveland and having Kyle (Shanahan) talk about how smart (Matt) LaFleur was when they were together…in Washington,” Thomas said. “And how basically LaFleur was learning everything he knew under Kyle Shanahan.”


While LaFleur never coached in Cleveland, he worked closely with Kyle Shanahan, who spent time with the Browns in 2014 as the offensive coordinator. LaFleur and Shanahan have worked together numerous times the past few years. The pair connected first in Houston in 2008, and then shared stints in Washington (2012) and Atlanta (2015-2016).

“He understood the details of the wide zone scheme,” Thomas said. “He understands how to get the most out of all of his players, and how it fits well with a quarterback that can move, that can threaten the edges, that can threaten the bootlegs. So I think the skillset Aaron (Rodgers) has would fit perfectly with the offense that Matt LaFleur runs.”

LaFleur is great (learned from Shanahans) at creating free releases for WR’s/TE’s, space in secondary and explosive opportunities on action pass by marrying run game WR splits, shifts, motions and backfield action. Also, Oline will be more physical.

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.

I would consider changing my name to Mike for $0.75.

it's all about the draft and free agency now. with Pettine staying this hire should have both sides of the ball hitting the ground running. no real disruption or learning curve. same playbook basically. should look pretty much the same. Rodgers should be happy.

JUST SHOOT ME! lol

[George Cumby]

I like it.

Young and not a retread.

[wist43]

Don't know what to think about it...

Dont think he can fix Rodgers regardless.

Prediction?? Think Rodgers will get him fired within 3 years

[denverYooper]

Nah. Rodgers will be re-engaged. I bet they're texting right now about new plays.
