Will Matt LaFleur be GB's head coach for the 2023 season?

[Patler]

Simple poll, yes or no; will LaFleur be the Packers' head coach for the 2023 season?

[Patler]

I voted "no" for no particular reason other than that an awful lot of coaches don't last 5 years, and I think the odds might be stacked against him.

I want to be more positive about this change, but for some unknown reason(s) I just am not.

I feel the same on both accounts.

voted no also. so much depends Rodgers' health and buying-in, this off-season's free-agency and draft, and future drafts as there won't be much cap space. if he can get lucky and out-live Rodgers contract then maybe.

The Packers aren't like a lot of teams. Their default seems to be keeping head coaches a lot longer than others. LaFleur being only 39, I fully expect him to still be around 15 - 20 years, maybe more.

I'm surprised that the poll is 3 - 3 at this point - or at least I was surprised until I saw who some of the negative voters were. Same ol' same ol'.

i voted no. a 39 year old with almost no experience coaching at any level and no experience running a team, who has only called plays for one shitty year. what could go wrong?

lets face it, he only got a head coaching gig because he once worked for or with the biggest hottest young coach out there this year

but it depends on if murphy is still around. he doesn't strike me as someone who actually has balls and can make a tough decision. he only fire ted after it became obvious to the public that he should be in a nursing home, NOT running a team. and he only fired fat ass after the entire team, fan base, and national media turned on him

so we could see a hue jackson like situation where the guy completely sucks, but he's still around

i've always been a glass-is-half-full type of guy until i recently realized i've been given a dribble glass.

...and I have normally been a three-quarters-full type of guy at least. I've been supportive of Murphy, TT and MM to a point, but did think MM's effectiveness had been eroding since the playoff debacle in Seattle.

[Freak Out]

I think he'll be around awhile.

[Bretsky]

a very hard one; I think he gave an OUTSTANDING INTERVIEW
I think his coming in more prepared with a list of preferred coaches to bring in was a good sign; I actually wonder if he landed any of them
I think he'll work well with AROD

O n the downside
Not remotely marved at the staff he brought in at all. Several seem to be inexperienced at best or rejects at worst
Why was Green Bay the only team requesting an interview with Matty ? That part I don't really get. But I thought it was important he brought in a strong surrounding staff
So my guess would be either he's replacing several of the guys he first hired.....and it would not surprise me if he's gone as well.


Hope I"m wrong

I am of the thought that you don't know until you are given a chance. He may succeed, he may not, but I am willing to give him a chance to make it work.

[Joemailman]

Yes, and by then he'll have a street in Green Bay named after him.

[FirstSgt]

If he has a street named after him then he will have been a great hire.

[texaspackerbacker]

You never know what you've got until the games start, but the kind of coach I prefer is a cerebral guy without a big ego - somebody with the good sense to emphasize what the team does best, personnel-wise and not force things. LaFleur seems like he will be that, but who knows at this point.

I hit yes... but was trying to say no. Odds are 3 years
