Matt LaFleur
Profile
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur began his coaching career by breaking the NFL record for most
wins (39) by a new head coach in his first three seasons. LaFleur has proven his ability to build trust and unity
amongst the team, which has been fundamental in the Packers' 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 "undoubted coach of the year" in 2022 and arguably the "Packers' Most Valuable Weapon."
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's 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's winning percentage of .796 has
been the best in NFL history - better than both Curly Lambeau and Vince Lombardi.
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's 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).
While working for Dan Quinn on the Falcons (2015-2016), LaFleur emulated Quinn's coaching style and "3
Rules" and was inspired to craft his own: 1) Team first. 2) No excuses. 3) Be on time and be prepared. Matt
LaFleur inspires others to live by his three simple rules by serving as an incredible leader to players both on and
off the field, as well as his sons Luke and Ty. He is a close friend and was best man to head coach of the New York
Jets, Robert Saleh, after holding assistant coaching positions together at Central Michigan. With years of
coaching experience under his belt, LaFleur is eager to find opportunities to speak on the importance of trust in
order to be successful on the field and contribute to a united team.
