Lafluer is back in Green Bay. Matt Lafleur signed a contract extension on Friday. The terms are not yet public, but people are reporting 16 million per year. John Harbaugh just signed for twenty million per year with the Giants. Ben Johnson is making thirteen million and Kevin O’Connell is making around fourteen million. Matt Lafleur is the most decorated coach in the NFC North. He deserves the most money in the division.
It’s important to keep Lafleur, because Jordan Love is still young. If the Packers changed coaches, it would have hindered his development. Green Bay is the second youngest team in the NFL, which means they can grow together with the same playbook. You don’t want to hinder the progress that the team has made in the last six years under Love.
Yes, his playoff record has to improve, especially having Parson on the team. Green Bay doesn’t have a first round pick in the next two years. You don’t want to have to learn a brand new offense, that would take a least one year to get down. I know many fans wanted him to be fired, but I think this was the right move.
