"LaFleur has one year remaining on his current contract, leaving his future in Green Bay uncertain after Packers president Ed Policy said last June that he would prefer not to have a lame-duck coach. LaFleur's status became even shakier after the Packers squandered an 18-point lead in Saturday night's 31-27 loss to the rival Bears in the NFC wild-card round."
"LaFleur said Sunday that he expected to speak with Policy soon but declined to answer whether he would be willing to coach with one year left on his contract. The Packers have gone 76-40-1 in the regular season under LaFleur and have made the playoffs in six of his seven seasons. But they have not reached the Super Bowl and have not been to a conference championship game since the 2020 season, the second of back-to-back appearances in LaFleur's first two years."
The Packers plan to attempt a contract agreement with head coach Matt LaFleur in the coming days while he enters the final year of his current deal. Packers president Ed Policy previously expressed a preference against having a lame-duck coach, and LaFleur's position weakened after Green Bay surrendered an 18-point lead in a 31-27 wild-card loss to the Bears. LaFleur expects to speak with Policy soon but declined to say whether he would coach with one year remaining. The team is 76-40-1 under LaFleur with six playoff appearances in seven seasons, but no Super Bowl or conference championship since 2020. LaFleur reiterated his desire to remain and would attract interest from other teams if released.
