Matt LaFleur's Biggest Mistake as Green Bay's Head Coach...

Matt LaFleur's decision to hire Joe Barry as his defensive co-ordinator has compromised a vastly talented group of players.

In his time as Head Coach of the Green Bay Packers, Matt LaFleur has done plenty of good.

Taking over a team which had endured back-to-back losing seasons, he quickly led a turnaround culminating in 29 regular season wins across three campaigns.

However, a frustrating and disappointing 2022 season (and particularly Green Bay’s loss to Tennessee) has highlighted LaFleur’s biggest mistake since he took the helm: Hiring Joe Barry as his defensive co-ordinator.

With the season on the line, the Packers allowed the Titans, who came in with one of the worst offenses in the NFL, to put up 27 points.
