Green Bay reportedly wants to keep Matt LaFleur paired with quarterback Jordan Love

Reporting among the top NFL news-breakers that Green Bay is expected to workout a contract extension with LaFleur has been consistent over the last week. The 46-year-old Packers coach has one year left on his contract, but Green Bay intends to extend LaFleur and avoid lame-duck status. The same appears to be true of Gutekunst, who Schefter reports is also more likely than not to receive a contract extension soon. The Packers are 76-40-1 and have made the playoffs six times in seven years under LaFleur, who was hired by Gutekunst in 2019. Gutekunst helped usher in a new era of Packers football by drafting Jordan Love, trading future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers and acquiring three-time All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons. Packers President Ed Policy was spotted with LaFleur and Gutekunst earlier this week, according to Schefter. While no deal is done yet, Green Bay continues to trend towards keeping the band together.

Green Bay reportedly wants to Matt LaFleur around under quarterback Jordan Love

The Packers haven't decided on Matt LaFleur's future yet, but another early playoff exit has many speculating that they will move on from him in the coming days. As Schefter notes, Harbaugh is from the Midwest and his agent, Bryan Harlan, is the son of a former Packers president. It's admittedly a tenuous link, but the dots are there for someone to connect. More importantly, the Packers would, in this scenario, be the only playoff team with a head coaching vacancy. Harbaugh wouldn't need to spend any time rebuilding a defunct roster and could instead focus on getting Green Bay out of the Wild Card Round. They already have an answer at quarterback with Jordan Love and just spent big on defensive superstar Micah Parsons. We would expect Harbaugh to prefer Green Bay to any other landing spot if the team fires LaFleur.
