Good variety of questions in this week’s mailbag. Let’s jump into those …
From Tom Marshall (@aredzonauk): Could Matt LaFleur have a shot at coach of the year?
Tom, maybe I’m the wrong person to ask—I thought LaFleur deserved consideration in 2021, too, simply for his ability to manage the Aaron Rodgers situation. If it weren’t for his people skills, and how he bridged the sizable gap between the front office and Rodgers, I believe that things would’ve devolved quickly between the quarterback and team. Instead, because of LaFleur, you got two extra years of Rodgers in Green Bay and, additionally, you got Jordan Love two years of development time that most folks there say now he needed.
