The crushing end to another double-digit, division winning season that came up five points short in the NFC Championship Game at Lambeau Field was discussed at length today by both Green Bay Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur and General Manager Brian Gutekunst.
LaFleur went first in the season ending Zoom session and spoke for just over 28 minutes.
The disappointment from the 31-26 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers eight days ago was still evident with the Head Coach who has had each of his first two seasons on the job end one step away from the Super Bowl. Since that loss, LaFleur has made moves with his coaching staff, firing special teams coordinator Shawn Mennenga after two years, and moving on from defensive coordinator Mike Pettine who spent three years with the organization. Pettine didn’t sign a one year contract extension before the 2020 season began and LaFleur said that really didn’t factor into his decision to move in a new direction
