Matt LaFleur had the best start to his head coaching career of anyone in NFL history. After winning 13 games three seasons in a row, the Green Bay Packers finished 2022 8-9 and outside of the playoffs. An embarrassing loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 18 capped off what was a disappointing campaign. Following the loss, Coach LaFleur addressed the media, and had some dire words for the state of the team.

On the Packers Rookie Players
When discussing all the new players on the team, Matt LaFleur said:
“I think that anytime you got some young players, you got some new players, anytime there is any sort of transition, it’s going to take time. And ultimately, what we have to do, what I have to do, what are staff has to do is that we have to do a better job for our guys, to put them in a better position so that the learning curve is expedited.
Matt LaFleur Defended Aaron Rodgers’ Play This Season
On being in a position that he has never been in as head coach (missed the playoffs:
“I want to make sure we cover everything with a fine-toothed comb. You know what I mean? And look at every facet of our program, and what we’re doing, and what we’re asking guys to do. Not only that, but the standards and expectations that we have in each area. I think that a lot of times when you have success, certain things can get covered up by winning games. And I think everything has pretty much been exposed right now. So we’ll take a look at everything in terms of how we operate, and, you know, it’s evident that whatever we did this year was not good enough

There is nothing wrong with the Packers that a new GM, coaching staff and quarterback can’t solve.
You are exactly right…. I would hate to spend another year with the coaches we have now. The GM was a mistake and should have been fired after the Love screw up.
That’s right.
Why stop there? New water boy, parking lot attendants, and fans would continue the transition nicely.
I may be wrong about this but it seems like every time Rogers gets involved with the female his play goes down I think what he really needs to do is leave the girls behind until he retires then find the one you want to marry and stay with their other than that I think he’s probably the best quarterback out there and I don’t care what they say about Tom Brady because first of all he cheated to earn for those rings in the NFL let them go when you inflate and deflate balls that’s not a fair gameSo Aaron stay with the pack give up the girls and win four more Super Bowls the next four would be nice I’m getting a little too old to wait
