No other coach in the history of the NFL has had a better record their first 3 seasons up to this week than MLF.

He installed a modern offense and within a year Rodgers became MVP.

Even with Rodgers having a some what down year by his standards in 2019 and even this year, MLF still fielded out a plan and team that wins games.

Hes responsible for hiring Joe Barry and despite the nevative reactions for this hiring, Joe Barry has our defense looking the best since 2010.

So again, why isnt MLF talked about or praised for being a strong candidate for coach of the year?

He gets overlooked a lot, I agree. Probably because we have Aaron Rodgers at QB and people give him most of the credit. Just a guess

If it wasn't for Rodgers, MLF's record could be 4-13....proven in the Chiefs game

People love to hate him. It starts with the media narrative and goes on from there. He's done a great job as HC.

First off, is anyone getting talk or discussion of coach of the year? I just haven't heard that discussion at all... whom are they talking about this year? Cardinals and Titans head coaches?

As far as why LaFleur isn't getting any...I think there are 4 reasons.

[list=1]

Because there have been other good options...

He has Aaron Freakin' Rodgers, Devonte Oh'my Adams and Aaron Flash Jones...

Outside of 2020 (Covid, no fans, quiet stadiums years) his offenses have struggled, even with the law firm of Aaron, Aaron and Adams helping him.

Haven't been in the top offensive 15 in points or yards in 2019 or 2021...

The coaching award usually goes to a coach whom is turning a franchise around with a questionable passing QB (the exact opposite of the Packers and Aaron Rodgers)

Can't say any of these guys are clear HOF QBs when their HC won, and most of them were young or their team hadn't had a winning season for a good while, now of which can be said about the Packers.

2020: Browns: (Baker Mayfield)
2019: Ravens (Lamar Jackson)
2018: Bears (Mitchell Trubisky/Chase Daniel)
2017: Rams (Jared Goff second year and went from the oldest school offense to the newest school offense)
2016: Cowboys (rookie Dak Prescott)

2015: Panthers (Cam Newton)
2014: Cardinals (Drew Stanton, Carson Palmer, Ryan Lindley)
2013: Panthers (Cam Newton)
2012: Colts (rookie Andrew Luck and offensive coordinator stepping up to be the head coach due to illness of head coach)

2011: 49ers (Alex Smith, 6-10 to 13-3)

Zero2Cool (2h) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (4h) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (5h) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9h) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9h) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Thanks Mucky and whomever created topcos for each pick!

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Insane about Kingsley
