Matt LaFleur addresses if he's coaching for his job after Week 10 loss to Eagles

The Green Bay Packers dropped to 5-3-1 and third in the NFC North after falling to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. Head coach Matt LaFleur‘s offense was an issue in the 10-7 defeat.

Green Bay tallied just 261 total yards of offense, losing its third game of the season where the defense has surrendered 16 points or less. To this point, LaFleur’s job has felt very secure given the Packers’ success under his lead. But after the game, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic asked LaFleur if he thinks he’s coaching for his job going forward.

“I’ll leave that for everybody else to decide,” LaFleur said. “I’ll just focus on the day-to-day and try to do — I feel like you’re always coaching for everything in this league, you know? That’s just my mindset. It’s always been that way. You can’t ever exhale. You gotta always be pushing. That’s just my mindset and that will be my mindset ’til they tell me not to coach anymore.”

LaFleur, in his seventh season with the Packers, has two years remaining on his contract. The Packers have been a constant in the postseason under LaFleur, except for 2022, but general manager Brian Gutekunst made it clear before the season they were ready to compete for championships. It’s exactly why Gutekunst acquired star edge rusher Micah Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys.

Parsons and the defense have been as advertised, a top five unit in all of football. It’s LaFleur’s offense which has failed to keep up its end of the bargain. Slow starts have been common, averaging just 6.43 points per first half over the last seven games, per Schneidman.

Matt LaFleur led offense not getting it done for Packers

Quarterback Jordan Love hasn’t taken a big leap in 2025, though it hasn’t been easy with Jayden Reed out of the lineup, Tucker Kraft now out for the season and other pass catchers such as Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs banged up. It hasn’t been good enough and suddenly, Green Bay is the No. 7 seed in the NFC, same as they were the previous two seasons.

There is still time for LaFleur and the Packers to get things right offensively. Love acknowledged they can be much better than they are now.

“As a defense, they definitely have every reason to look at us and say, ‘What are you guys doing? You guys need to figure it out and help us out and put up some more points because they’re doing a great job,” Love said Monday. “They stopped them for the majority of the game. We just didn’t find ways to score. It’s just not good enough.”
