Why isnt Matt Lafleur getting talked about for Coach Of The Year?

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)

wpr (12h) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
