It's the ultimate contradiction. Matt LaFleur is winning games and hitting milestones at a rate rarely seen in the NFL, yet talk of his Green Bay Packers future has echoed throughout the fanbase all season.
Much of the criticism came from frustrated Packers fans, largely because of the team's initial inability to overcome Tucker Kraft's season-ending injury, as they managed just 20 points in home defeats to the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles.
The conversation ramped up after that, and LaFleur even faced a question about his job security at his postgame presser. It was valid and fair to ask, given team president Ed Policy's surprising decision not to extend LaFleur's contract in the offseason, but any talk about hot seats always felt way off the mark.
