"Despite ending 2025 with five straight losses, including a wild-card collapse against the rival Chicago Bears, Ed Policy opted for stability and Matt LaFleur decided he had unfinished business. Thus, the Green Bay Packers' president and their veteran head coach agreed to forge ahead with the hope that they will finally break through and get to a Super Bowl. LaFleur, 46, will return as the Packers head coach, per sources."
"In seven seasons as head coach, LaFleur has yet to lead the Packers to a Super Bowl. Five active head coaches have been with their team longer than LaFleur's tenure in Green Bay -- only one has not been to at least one Super Bowl ( Buffalo Bills' Sean McDermott). LaFleur has had his share of chances. The Packers have reached the playoffs in six of his seven seasons, including the past three."
Ed Policy opted for stability after Green Bay finished 2025 with five straight losses and a wild-card collapse to the Chicago Bears. Matt LaFleur signed a multiyear contract extension and will return as head coach under a deal described as a real commitment rather than a prove-it contract. New contracts for general manager Brian Gutekunst and vice president Russ Ball are underway. LaFleur has coached seven seasons, guiding the Packers to the playoffs six times but never to a Super Bowl. The team has not won the NFC North since 2021 and has not reached an NFC Championship Game since 2019-20.
