Packers head coach Matt LaFleur continues to get disrespected

Has the world forgotten how good Matt LaFleur is?

Here's a reminder: LaFleur's Green Bay Packers have gone 47-19 in his four seasons with the team. In the process, LaFleur has set several records.

No head coach in NFL history has more wins than LaFleur's 39 in their first three years. He led the Packers to three straight 13-win seasons, the first team in history to achieve this.

LaFleur never lost consecutive regular-season games between 2019 and 2021.

Many have dismissed LaFleur's accomplishments because he 'had Aaron Rodgers.' As if it's that easy. Mike McCarthy had an excellent career in Green Bay. During his 11 seasons with Rodgers as his starting quarterback, McCarthy's Packers won 13 games only once.

LaFleur inherited a team that had gone 13-18-1 in the previous two years and turned them into one of the best in the NFC, going 39-10 in his first three seasons. Rodgers won back-to-back MVPs in LaFleur's offense.

The Packers struggled last season but they showed fight, which is a credit to LaFleur. Many teams would've given up after an awful 4-8 start. But LaFleur rallied his team to finish 4-1 in the final five games.

Yet, the Packers' head coach to continues to be disrespected.
