Jet Nut Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Matt LaFleur reportedly to become new Green Bay Packers head coach The Green Bay Packers will hire Titans offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur as their new head coach, according to a report by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. ESPN's Adam Schefter and Rob Demovsky first reported that the Packers offered the head coaching job to the first-year Titans offensive coordinator. LaFleur, 39, coordinated a Titans offense that was 25th in total yards per game (312.4) and 27th in total points per game (19.4) in 2018. He had to design game plans around the nerve injuries of quarterback Marcus Mariota as well as the season-long absence of tight end Delanie Walker. LaFluer was hired by Titans coach Mike Vrabel in February after a stellar 2017 season as the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams broke out as an offense that season, turning the league's worst scoring offense from the year prior into the league's highest scoring team. It has been a quick climb for LaFleur, who was the Falcons' quarterbacks coach in 2015 and 2016 after a year at Notre Dame.

Let's see, GrenBay fires a long time successful coach mid season and then hires Lefluer??? If this happened here there would be a mutiny. Seems like GB may be slipping a bit to me.

varjet Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I think this showed that Green Bay assessed who was going to be available, decided who they wanted and then focused their recruitment on LaFleur. This is opposed to interviewing a good portion of the NFL and College coaches in America and then bumbling around figuring out who you want to hire, after attempting to hire someone who realistically would never accept your offer.

Or McCarthy isn't that good of a coach. Not sure why some of you are refusing to see that possiblity. Cards going with Kingsbury, not McCarthy Bucs going with Arians, not McCarthy Packers fired McCarthy for LaFleur Broncos look like they are going for munchack or fangio, not McCarthy Has anyone interviewed McCarthy besides the Jets who seemed to just interview everyone?

MichaelScott Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Surprised a little bit. Everything I heard about the Pack was the importance of a coach that could deal with Rodgers and that's why McDaniels and Gase were mentioned because of their experience coaching Brady and Manning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't tell you anything? If he was the best candidate out there teams would be falling over themselves to get him in and lock him up before they left the building. Instead, everyone is fine letting him just float around out there. Again, you are one of those comfort food guys. You know McCarthy. You heard the idiots on TV say how great he is because the idiots on TV say that about every coach that once won a SB. That doesn't actually make him a great coach.

Does that not tell you guys anything? I think there's a lot of misinformation out there about McCarthy because Aaron Rodgers is so great. The problem in GB was that Rodgers became almost impossible to work with and usurped the authority of the HC to the point where the team started drowning him out and the respect went out the window. Once that happens, even the best of coaches is doomed. McCarthy is the best and most qualified coach to be available in a long time and the Jets would be lucky to get him IMO.

No one else interviewed Lefluer or Arians either. Only the Jets and Cards reached out to Kingsbury. did anyone else request an interview with Eberflus other than the browns? Josh McDaniels? Richard only has cards and Jets. Caldwell has two teams. Who is interested in Monken? This logic is not that strong actually. It seems guys are shooting in one direction or another. Seems the coach with the most interest was actually McCarthy with 3 teams requesting interviews. That's what I've seen anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there are obviously aspects that someone may not like about McCarthy, he is clearly the strongest candidate out there. There's no real legitimate debate about that. All warts included.

It looks to me like they had a plan snd they are implementing it. Not to say its going 100% according to plan, but they are moving forward the way a true high level executive hire should be. I hear ya on LaFleur but once again, I'd rather an actual body of work. There are people who interview very well out there and blow balls in actual application.

Sonny Werblin Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 So, the D in GB cost them a bunch of games these past 2 seasons. The answer? Fire the offensive HC and make the new offensive HC retain the DC. Yeah, that makes sense. Who's running things over there anyway?
