Packers on the Hot Seat: Matt LaFleur

If a rising tide lifts all boats, then what does a receding tide do? Sink them?

Still, there’s no doubt he’s in a funk right now. He hasn’t been able to push the right buttons to get this young team going. Their lack of discipline and knowledge about executing the plays correctly falls on his shoulders. His seat is getting warm, but, as Aaron Nagler is fond of saying, there’s plenty of ballgame left for him to turn it around.
