LaFleur has proven his ability to build trust and unity amongst the team, which has been fundamental in the Packers\u2019 success. On top of breaking records as a first- year head coach, he has been given tremendous praise throughout the media; ESPN broadcasters described him as the \u201cundoubted coach of the year\u201d in 2022 and arguably the \u201cPackers\u2019 Most Valuable Weapon.\u201d Coach LaFleur has been called the glue of the Packers organization; his commitment and passion for the team is undeniable. Since stepping in as head coach, he quickly garnered full support and cooperation from former Packer\u2019s quarterback Aaron Rodgers. His relationship with Rodgers allowed Green Bay to whole-heartedly appreciate his dedication to the team and fully embrace him as coach. LaFleur\u2019s winning percentage of .796 has been the best in NFL history &#8211; better than both Curly Lambeau and Vince Lombardi.<\/p>\n<p>LaFleur was born and raised in Mount Pleasant, Michigan and played both quarterback and wide receiver at Western Michigan University before transferring ton Saginaw Valley State, leading the team to the playoffs every season and leaving as Saginaw\u2019s all-time leader in passing yards, completions, and passing touchdowns. Upon college graduation, LaFleur started his coaching career at Saginaw Valley as an offensive assistant and then at Central Michigan, where he met his wife BreAnne. He began his NFL coaching career with the Houston Texans as an offensive assistant in 2008 before going on to coach for the Commanders, Falcons, Rams, Titans and lastly Packers. Before joining Green Bay, LaFleur led a Titans offense that ranked 7th in the NFL in rushing (2018) and a Rams team that doubled their scoring, won seven more games, and saw Todd Gurley win AP Offensive Player of the Year with 2,000+ all purpose yards (2017).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur began his coaching career by breaking
