LaFleur is the only first-year head coach currently in possession of a playoff spot, as the Packers currently sit atop the NFC North.

Then again, he also inherited the best situation of any coach to get a job this offseason.

The former Los Angeles Rams and Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator has done well working with Aaron Rodgers to put together a 9-3 record. Working with Rodgers is no easy task and LaFleur has handled himself nicely in his first head coaching gig.

As is the case with anyone who coaches in Green Bay, LaFleur’s true evaluation will come in the postseason. If he wins, he’ll be lauded for his work. If he loses, he won’t be given much leeway moving forward.
