Overview
- Matt LaFleur said he and team president Ed Policy spoke on the flight home and plan to talk again by Monday, according to ESPN reporting.
- Team sources expect a speedy resolution and public announcement on the coach’s status, with options ranging from an extension to a parting of ways as he enters the final year of his deal.
- Green Bay’s 31-27 loss to the Bears after leading 21-3 heightened scrutiny of LaFleur’s postseason record, now 3-6 despite a 76-40-1 regular-season mark.
- LaFleur declined to discuss his job immediately after the game but said he wants to remain coach, and Jordan Love publicly endorsed him.
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Ed Policy will decide whether to extend or move on, and that John Harbaugh could be a top candidate if the job opens, while game review notes missed kicks and injuries as key factors.
