GREEN BAY, Wis. – Ranking Matt LaFleur among NFL head coaches is a challenging proposition. From one perspective, he’s won with such regularity that it’s impossible to not consider him one of the best in the business. On the other hand, his lack of playoff success can lead to questioning of his credentials.
At Pro Football Network, Brandon Austin ranked the NFL’s 32 coaches. LaFleur checked in at No. 9.
Why so high?
Because, he wrote, LaFleur “has quietly built one of the most consistent coaching résumés in the league. Since taking over in 2019, he’s led the Green Bay Packers to five playoff appearances in six seasons.
