Matt LaFleur’s case for Coach of the Year follows same path as Aaron Rodgers’ for MVP

If Aaron Rodgers is the MVP then Matt LaFleur can’t be Coach of the Year right? Wrong. The success of each individual, as well as the two’s power together, forms a symbiotic case for award hardware.

The Green Bay Packers are worse. After free agency, replacing Bryan Bulaga with Rick Wagner, losing out on Emmanuel Sanders to instead add Devin Funchess, and moving on from Blake Martinez for the oft-injured Christian Kirksey, everyone agreed the 2020 Packers were worse. Heading into the draft, they could change that narrative and flip it on its head by stacking the roster with explosive skill talent — maybe a run-stuffing defensive lineman and a speedy linebacker.
