As the Green Bay Packers head into the offseason, a prevailing sentiment among the team’s leadership is to “run it back.” President Ed Policy’s decision to retain head coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst following a disappointing playoff exit reflects a commitment to continuity despite recent struggles.
The Packers ended their 2025 season with a painful wild-card loss to the Chicago Bears, marking their second consecutive early playoff exit. Under LaFleur and Gutekunst, the team faced a solid start, but a late-season collapse left fans and analysts questioning their direction. Policy believes that maintaining the current leadership is key to unlocking the team’s potential, especially as they aim for a long-awaited return to Super Bowl glory.
