January 7th has been a busy day for the Green Bay Packers over the last two years. A year ago that day, the team announced Matt LaFleur as the 15th head coach in team history. A year prior to that on the same day, they promoted Brian Gutekunst to general manager.
Since taking on that role, Gute, as he's often called, has had his hands full. The release of Jordy Nelson, two drafts including an additional first-round pick in 2019, acquiring several free agents, being part of the tough decision to let long-time head coach Mike McCarthy go and helping bring on LaFleur.
