LaFleur, 46, has kept the Packers as consistent contenders but only has one playoff win in his past five seasons, leading to speculation the team and coach could part ways.LaFleur has one year left on his current contract and team president Ed Policy previously said he prefers not to have key personnel in a lame-duck status.
Michael Strahan had a big problem with coach's handling of sideline confrontationEagles star's brother arrested on OWI charge hours before crushing playoff loss “That’s not the focus right now, to be honest with you,” LaFleur said when asked about his future Saturday night. “We’re fresh off this loss. My sole focus is on our players, our team and just trying to find ways to get better.”LaFleur’s Packers tenure has featured plenty of highs during the regular season, notching a 76-40-1 record, but the team routinely came up small in the postseason.The former Titans offensive coordinator posted three straight 13-win seasons to open his career and advanced to two straight NFC Championship games.Green Bay fell on the road to the 49ers during the 2019 season and lost at home to the Buccaneers in the 2020 campaign, in perhaps his best shot to reach the Super Bowl.While he successfully managed to keep the team competitive during the transition from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love, the Packers’ seasons have had similar endings. The 2023 Packers squandered a seven-point lead in an eventual road loss to the 49ers as a No. 7 seed, and last year’s team — again as a No. 7 seed — scored just 10 points in a loss to the Eagles. This year’s squad again finished with the seventh-best record in the NFC, largely due to another late-game choke against the Bears in Week 16.Saturday night’s loss to the hated Bears left LaFleur at 1-5 in his last six playoff games. The future of defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley is also in question as he is expected to be a popular name in head coaching searches; the New Jersey native has been linked to the Giants’ openingJohnson, who was previously the offensive coordinator for the Lions, only offered a quick handshake to LaFleur while running across the field on Saturday night andBrian CostelloMatt LaFleur walks off the field after the Packers' playoff loss to the Bears on Jan. 10, 2026.
