Why did the Green Bay Packers organization pick Matt LaFleur
as their new head coach? It’s what he did for two top notch quarterbacks that
made him their top choice. Aaron Rodgers may be just a bit off the top of his
game, as time creeps forward and the distance between Super Bowl XLV grows
greater and greater. Still, he’s one of the best in the league, and the Packers
think that LaFleur will revive the spark in Rodgers.
Green Bay football fans all recall the NFC Championship game
between the Falcons and Packers. It was
a disaster. That was partially the work of LaFleur, coaching Matt Ryan. The
same could be said for Jared Geoff of the Rams, when LaFluer brought the best
out of Geoff. Now he’s been given the opportunity to work his magic with the
cornerstone of the Green Bay Packers team.
Sure, one could look at the Titans record in 2018, and ask “What
are they thinking?” But this pick is more granular. It goes right down to
working with one of the best in football, Rodgers. As LaFleur builds his
coaching staff in the off season, we’ll get a better picture of how he’s going
to manage all those other details. For now, it’s just a huge signal to Packers
fans across the nation. This guy is here for “A-Rod.”
