NFL GM Gives Honest Matt LaFleur Ranking Among NFC North Coaches After win with QB2 to Mention Among Others

Overall, the Green Bay Packers are managing well despite quarterback Jordan Love’s injury. The team holds a 2-1 record, including a 2-0 streak since Malik Willis took over as a temporary starter. Willis has earned credit for rising to the occasion, but head coach Matt LaFleur’s contributions are also crucial and should not be overlooked.

Green Bay Packers HC Matt LaFleur ranked second among NFC North division coaches

According to an undisclosed NFL general manager, LaFleur is currently the second-best coach in the NFC North.

GM: “I’d rank them by head-coaching positions. I believe Kevin O’Connell has done the best job. Matt LaFleur ranks second. He has done well with Malik Willis, who I do not believe can play. Dan Campbell had a fantastic win at Arizona, where I expected them to lose. I believe Chicago is in jeopardy. Matt Eberflus (the coach) is under fire. I do not blame the quarterback (Caleb Williams) at all. He’s sprinting for his life, much as he did at USC last year.”

There is a case to be made that LaFleur should be recognised as the division’s top coach after three weeks, despite the fact that the Minnesota Vikings are unbeaten this season under Kevin O’Connell.

In any case, the Packers are in a far better position than many expected after two weeks of playing without Love, thanks to LaFleur, who appears to know how to game plan around a quarterback like Willis. Over the last two games, the Packers have leaned heavily on their rushing offence, averaging 191.5 rushing yards.
