The Green Bay Packers have offered Matt LaFleur their head coaching job. LaFleur was the offensive coordinator for the Tennesse Titans this season and held the same position with the Los Angeles Rams last season.
Espn’s Adam Schefter reported on the Packers hiring update earlier today.
Packers offered the job to Titans' OC Matt LaFleur, per sources. Other HC candidates have been notified that they're out. So it looks like LaFleur in Green Bay.

The Green Bay Packers fired head coach Mike McCarthy earlier this past season. The Packers have been disappointing for the last few seasons with McCarthy at the helm, who at the time of his firing was 4-7-1. The Packers promoted Joe Philbin to interim head coach. Philbin went 2-2 in the remaining games of the season.
If Matt LaFleur takes the job he will take over the Packers looking to maximize the remaining prime years of an aging Aaron Rodgers. The Packers hope that he can help Rodgers have the success that Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had when he won NFL MVP in 2016 when LaFleur was his quarterback’s coach. LaFleur has risen from the quarterback’s coach in Atlanta to possible head coach in Green Bay in three years. He will have to prove that he had a hand in the success of the teams he has been a coach on and not just the product of working under some of the NFL’s greatest offensive minds.
