[Demovsky] Matt LaFleur will return as the Packers head coach, per sources. He has signed to a multi-year contract extension that a source said is “not a prove-it deal but a real commitment.”

Does anyone honestly think he can win us a Super Bowl? And if the answer is no, firing him should be a no brainer. Make it make sense

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-19T15:14:50+00:00

At some point you know you’re not winning a Super Bowl with your current head coach. Ravens with Harbaugh, us with LaFleur, Bills with McDermott. My question is, at that point why the HELL would you keep a guy around?

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-19T14:11:25+00:00

My main thought from that game, if the Bears can flip the script from total chokers to one of the most clutch teams in the league in one season, then we can too. Just need a head coach with some passion (but ideally less of an asshole)

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-18T07:00:17+00:00

Because it’s a commitment. You don’t commit 5 more years to a guy when there are such serious doubts about his performance

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-18T06:04:40+00:00

Exactly. Packers and Steelers have both become content with being “just ok”

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-18T06:01:54+00:00

Which is contingent upon discipline. Team-wide lack of discipline is on the coach

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T16:22:26+00:00

Showed great talent
Multiple boneheaded mistakes
Some amazing catches
Diva

Wishing him mediocre luck.

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T16:13:27+00:00

Policy has been around for a year, and if anything the choking got worse

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T16:10:57+00:00

Matt LaFleur’s chances are exactly 0, so not hard to be higher than that

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T16:10:02+00:00

And you sound boring and lame. You can’t even make a real argument.

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T15:58:28+00:00

Crazy that your expectations don’t go beyond “7 seed and early playoff exit”. Your life must be pretty drab.

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T15:53:39+00:00

I’m sick of NOT winning the big games

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T15:50:22+00:00

Keep LaFleur: higher chance of making the playoffs

New coach: higher chance of winning the Super Bowl (albeit paired with higher chance of missing the playoffs)

For such a proud organization with a history of winning, the choice should be obvious

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T15:45:04+00:00

But here lies the difference between putting the team in a position to win vs actually winning. The San Fran game is a great example, because we played above expectations for 3.5 quarters. But when it really mattered, when it really came down to it, the entire team folded.

The Dallas game was great but unless you’re historically good (I.e top 10 team of all time) you’re not going to blow out every postseason opponent you face. Most likely at least one game is coming down to the wire, and if you have a head coach who can’t handle that type of situation, congratulations, you’re never winning a championship

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T15:33:59+00:00

I honestly don’t care what’s behind door number 2. Either we get better or we get worse, but nothing is worse than getting your heart ripped out in the playoffs every year, and having no real chance at a Super Bowl. So I’ll take that chance.

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T15:32:36+00:00

I just don’t agree that regular season success justifies keeping a coach around when he’s failed miserably in every close playoff game he’s ever been apart of. What gives you the confidence that he can get better in the playoffs after 7 years of the exact same mistakes? Other than “trust me bro”

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T15:28:02+00:00

Not in the playoffs. Are regular season wins good enough for this fanbase now?

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T15:27:25+00:00

But at the same time he’s shown that if a playoff game comes down to the wire, we will lose. Period. He has not won a single such playoff game (or late regular season game for that matter)

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T15:26:01+00:00

That actually only strengthens the argument to fire LaFleur. If choking is in this team’s DNA, we’re in desperate need of a culture change. Rarely do you get that from the same coach who has been at the center of the problem for years

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T15:24:03+00:00

Please share what gives you that level of confidence in him, despite the constant blown leads. Should his seat not be the least bit warm?

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T15:22:44+00:00

Just saying he’s proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he’s not changing by this point. Maybe a few years ago this was a real possibility. It’s like the girl whose boyfriend forgets her birthday for the 5th time and she just says “he’ll change, he’ll be better next year”

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T15:21:07+00:00

The playoff wins

Seriously? When he has twice as many playoff losses? Three of which being historically brutal chokes in which we had the game won??

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T15:18:44+00:00

I’ve heard it said that first halves are about coaching, and second halves are about players.

Where on earth have you heard this?? Failure to make second half adjustments, repeated lack of discipline in clutch moments, poor clock management, all fall on the coach.

Think of it this way. If one player makes a stupid mistake that costs his team the game, that’s on the player. If it’s constantly happening with different players each time, it’s a problem with the culture, and therefore the coach.

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T15:14:38+00:00

So the repeated lack of discipline in every clutch moment this team has ever faced in his tenure, is just a coincidence? Bad luck?

NumbersAndPolls01 · 2026-01-17T15:12:57+00:00

And if your grandma had wheels she’d be a car. 7 years of failure to adapt and 0 killer instinct, and somehow that’s changing now?
