find ways to get better<\/a>,\u201d LaFleur said. \u201cWe talked briefly on the plane, and there\u2019s going to be a time where we\u2019re going to get together \u2014 either later tonight or tomorrow sometime.\u201d <\/p>\nLaFleur was twice asked if he would be willing to coach next season on his current contract, and both times reiterated it wasn\u2019t his focus. LaFleur did, however, positively characterize his relationship with Policy. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been great, he\u2019s been super supportive,\u201d LaFleur said. \u201cYeah, I can\u2019t say enough great things about him.\u201d<\/p>\n
After seven seasons, LaFleur\u2019s accumulated a 76-40-1 record in the regular season with a 3-6 postseason record. Is LaFleur still the man to get the Packers over the top?<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think those are questions for me,\u201d LaFleur said. \u201cLike I said, I think my sole focus is just trying to find solutions to some of our issues and why things went awry yesterday. It\u2019s disappointing. I\u2019m as disappointed, obviously, as all you guys, as our fans, as everybody in our organization because we had plenty of opportunities to slam the door shut and we didn\u2019t get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n
And LaFleur is still planning on being Green Bay\u2019s head coach in 2026, telling reporters \u201cof course\u201d he wants to continue in his job.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is one of one,\u201d LaFleur said. \u201cI love this place. I love the people. As much as you guys drive me nuts sometimes, I love you guys. I love our players, the locker room, everybody in our organization.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, this is a unique place. The community has been outstanding. I grew up in the midwest and it\u2019s got the same type of vibe that I grew up [with] in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. So, people are just \u2014 unless you\u2019re from here, you don\u2019t understand, I think, how friendly everybody is. And it\u2019s nice no matter who you are, you\u2019re walking down the street, and people say hello to one another. I\u2019ve lived other places, so I think this is a unique place, this is a special place. My kids love it here, my family loves it here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Still, LaFleur knows there are things he and the team as a whole need to do differently to reach more postseason success.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we have to look at everything \u2014 from how we train, to how we practice,\u201d LaFleur said. \u201cThese are conversations that I\u2019ve already had with some of our people. And just trying to find, maybe, different ways to do things. But those are all the conversations that are ongoing right now \u2014 just taking all the data we have, comparing it to other teams, whatever it may be.\u201d<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll see if LaFleur\u2019s shot to do that will be with Green Bay or potentially elsewhere in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After last night\u2019s loss to the Bears, there is plenty of uncertainty surrounding head coach Matt LaFleur\u2019s future…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":403391,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-403390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=403390"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403390\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/403391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=403390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=403390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=403390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
