With the Green Bay Packers’ playoff aspirations getting longer by the week, is coach Matt LaFleur on the hot seat? Yes, at least according to one sportsbook.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Entering Year 5 as coach of the Green Bay Packers, Matt LaFleur had fashioned a regular-season record of 47-19.
This season, the Packers are 2-5. Nobody thought the transition from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love would be easy, but the team’s four-game losing streak shows a team that has made little, if any, tangible progress., LaFleur is +650 to be the first coach fired this season. Only the Las Vegas Raiders’ Josh McDaniels , who is coming off a dismal loss at the Detroit Lions and can’t get All-Pro receiver Davante Adams the ball, has longer odds.
Following the offseason trade of Davante Adams, the 2022 Packers started 4-8 before a late-season rally that fell short in another homefield loss, this time to Detroit, in Week 18.Photo by Mark Hoffman/USA Today Sports ImagesFrom Game 4 through Game 7, Green Bay is 28th with 15.0 points per game and 29th in point differential .
The wild card in any franchise-shifting decisions is Packers President Mark Murphy. He’ll reach the mandatory retirement age of 70 on July 13, 2025. If the team continues a downward spiral, would he stand pat with Gutekunst and LaFleur and let his successor make his own hires? Or would he make a bold move at coach and/or general manager to make his final mark on the franchise?
