During Matt LaFleur’s first five years in place as head coach of the Packers, the team totaled a record of 25-8 in games played in December and January. Things have modified quickly over the past two regular and postseasons, with Green Bay going just 3-9 over that very same stretch since 2024.
A second straight promising yr ending on a really low note – specifically, a five-game losing streak including a collapse within the wild-card round – invited questions on a change on the sidelines. As an alternative, LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst will remain in place for 2026 (and sure beyond). Reaching the playoffs will once more be the goal for Green Bay next yr. To spice up the team’s possibilities of avoiding one other one-and-done campaign, reinforcements in at the least a couple of key areas might be sought.
Coaching/front office moves
LaFleur has guided the Packers to a winning record and a playoff berth all but once during his seven-year tenure. Having overseen a successful transition from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love on the quarterback position, LaFleur’s offense has largely remained a powerful unit since his arrival. Then again, the past five years have produced just one playoff victory.
