Packers head coach has a challenging transition ahead
During a five-episode series of The Athletic's podcast "The Playcallers," it became evident how Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has long been respected and praised around the NFL. However, he often found himself in the shadows of fellow coaching rising stars, like Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay. Throughout his career, LaFleur has been working alongside these renowned figures in Washington, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. While his coaching prowess was recognized, he didn't have the same opportunities to be the true protagonist.
It wasn't until 2018, when LaFleur got his first chance at playcalling with the Tennessee Titans, that he could showcase his offensive acumen.
