Good for Joey! Not just living off that Friends money anymore!!!
January 7th, 2019 at 6:28 PM ^
No wrong Matt. They want Matt “the flower”.
January 7th, 2019 at 6:26 PM ^
I though Oakland was the team we were worried about poaching him
January 7th, 2019 at 7:32 PM ^
No, the Jets.
January 7th, 2019 at 6:28 PM ^
Michigan man. Played and coached at Saginaw Valley. Coached QBs at NMU.
January 7th, 2019 at 6:32 PM ^
From Mount P. That's pretty good.
January 7th, 2019 at 7:45 PM ^
Mount Pleasant we’re for you, fight!
January 7th, 2019 at 7:53 PM ^
Not every day that you see the MPHS fight song quoted online......
i grew up with Matt. Quality dude. I am a Packers fan now.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:27 PM ^
Just needed the opportunity!
MPHS Class of 2004
January 7th, 2019 at 9:12 PM ^
1997
January 7th, 2019 at 8:29 PM ^
No shit? He was a few yrs behind me at MPHS.
January 7th, 2019 at 6:28 PM ^
Pep Hamilton missed it by that much!
January 7th, 2019 at 6:56 PM ^
hey, it opens up another nfl OC position
January 7th, 2019 at 8:05 PM ^
There must be young guys like McVay and LaFleur working in smaller colleges just waiting to be noticed. Lincoln Riley was at East Carolina before he went to Oklahoma.
January 7th, 2019 at 6:29 PM ^
Kinda hoped they would wait until tomorrow and make a run at Saban.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:01 PM ^
I guess Pat Fitzgerald swung and missed. Too bad. Would have been interesting to see him coaching 53 separate corporations.
January 7th, 2019 at 6:32 PM ^
Maybe this will start the domino effect and Pep will go to the Titans....
January 7th, 2019 at 6:33 PM ^
Pep to the titans?! Please.
January 7th, 2019 at 6:43 PM ^
Or the Lions....
January 7th, 2019 at 7:04 PM ^
Now that would be the most Lions thing ever.
January 7th, 2019 at 6:48 PM ^
Go Pack Go
January 7th, 2019 at 7:15 PM ^
LaFleur spent 2017 as OC with the Rams learning under Sean McVay. Before that, he spent 2 years under Kyle Shanahan in Atlanta. Clearly Green Bay wanted a young offensive mind.
January 7th, 2019 at 7:17 PM ^
Don't judge him by the Titans' offense this season. Mariota made a lot of bad decisions and is probably better off in a different style of offense.
Packers are going after a McVay/Kyle Shanahan offensive mind. This seems kind of risky for a franchise like them, especially since last season was his first calling plays.
January 7th, 2019 at 7:23 PM ^
Are you a Titans fan? Cause I am and I obsessed over every game.This year wasn't remotely Mariota's fault. Our protection scheme was absymal--leading to way too many flukey injuries for him. The only downside to us losing LaFleur is that Mariota has to learn another new scheme. Just setting him back yet again.
January 7th, 2019 at 9:42 PM ^
I am not and it sounds like you have watched them much more than I did. What I saw from him was no anticipation for open receivers based on coverage so he was always late. You could tell some of it was the bad OL effect and him taking hits (I remember him getting leveled after a deadball whistle against somebody like the Texans without a flag).
January 7th, 2019 at 8:30 PM ^
The NFL is so desperate for a young offensive coach, they hire a crappy OC and recently fired Kliff Kingsberry is being looked at like a God.
January 7th, 2019 at 8:01 PM ^
This cannot be. Cris Carter had it on good authority that Green Bay would be approaching Harbaugh and that it was a real thing. Cris Carter's impeccable sources couldn't have been wrong!
January 7th, 2019 at 8:14 PM ^
LaFleur? Wow, first he comes out of nowhere and wins the dodgeball championship and now he’s going to be HC in Green Bay? Impressive...
January 7th, 2019 at 9:09 PM ^
Matt LaFleur during his interview with the Packers front office:
FO - Coach, what do you do when Aaron says "jump"?
ML - how high?
January 7th, 2019 at 9:41 PM ^
Pep to Titans as OC????
January 7th, 2019 at 9:52 PM ^
Titans fan here. Pretty major gamble by Green Bay. LaFleur was expected to get a HC job in the near future, but the Titans offense sucked all year.
They might as well have offered it to Nussmeyer
January 7th, 2019 at 10:12 PM ^
My Packers fan wife isn't going to like this. Seems like a really dangerous hire for the Packers. He's only called plays for one year and finished with the 27th ranked scoring offense. Plus, you never know when you hire a first-time head coach - there's a big difference between an assistant and the head man. Seems like a risk for Rodgers last top years that they didn't need to take.
January 7th, 2019 at 10:13 PM ^
No Pat Fitzgerald?
That always seemed like a long shot anyway, but would’ve been a very interesting hire.
January 7th, 2019 at 10:22 PM ^
I heard weeping sounds coming out of Josh McDaniels house!!!!
January 9th, 2019 at 8:20 AM ^
Thought this was the hockey legend
