Cory's Corner: Every Decision Matters
Now is not the time for Matt LaFleur to be content. Now is the time for change.
It happned late Monday afternoon.
It was reportered that Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley will become the next Miami Dolphins head coach after the Packers defensive coordinator had at least six interviews. He’s a high energy guy that injects a lot of personality and vulnerability into his coaching. And his guys feed off that.
Now it’s up to Matt LaFleur. How is he going to assemble his staff? He needs another defensive coordinator in the mold of Hafley that isn’t afraid to bring the heat on opposing quarterbacks while massaging the massive egos on that side of the ball. Everyone talks about Jordan Love’s $55 million contract, but Micah Parsons is getting $47 million a year and Rashan Gary is getting $26.8 million a year.
And speaking of changes, does LaFleur look himself in the mirror and be honest with himself? His play-calling this year wasn’t terrible but at times, it left you scratching your head. Sometimes he would use presnap movement, fakes, play-action and bootleg. And then other times, the Packers would look stale and predictable. He continued to run out of shotgun on third-and-short, which was stopped several times late in the season.
So just because LaFleur is coming back doesn't mean there shouldn’t be changes. Special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia should’ve been fired before this season started. The Packers special teams ranked 29th in 2023 and 2024 and this year it wasn’t exactly good thanks to poor tackling on the kickoff coverage team.
LaFleur has to decide what kind of a team he wants this team to be. Will it be a running team with a sprinkling of Love or will it be Love slinging it all over the place with Josh Jacobs punishing defenses when they are expecting a pass?
Now is not the time for LaFleur to take a deep breath and exhale because he dodged a bullet. The Bills just fired Sean McDermott after nine seasons and he missed the playoffs only one time. So if the Packers struggle next year, even with a new contract, don’t rule out a potential change at head coach. And it’s not because the decision makers in Green Bay are impatient, it’s because the window for the Packers is now.
They have solid players all over the place. But they have to understand that trading for Parsons and drafting Love doesn’t really matter unless it ends with success. Nobody is going to remember you for winning oodles of regular season games. I hate to say it, but they don’t matter. They just don’t. The Packers have seen what a successful regular season looks like and that’s not why Green Bay is called Titletown.
It’s all about the postseason. That’s why new Packers president and CEO Elliott Wolf brought back LaFleur. He understands the importance of consistency — especially with a quarterback that is entering his fourth season as a starter.
So LaFleur can be content with where he’s at, but if he takes that mindset, he won’t be happy come next January. Now is the time to make changes and make this team better. That could be anything from new coordinators to engaging with the team in a more efficient way.
Take a look at everything. Examine why there were so many knee injuries this past season and see if there are steps to take to prevent it.
Every decision matters. And it starts now.

"He’s a high energy guy that injects a lot of personality and vulnerability into his coaching" Is that a Freudian slip?
"That’s why new Packers president and CEO Elliott Wolf brought back LaFleur." Have there been some unannounced changes in the front office?
I don't think it should be either / or when it comes to Jacobs and Love. It has to be both all the time. To do that they have to get a reliable line. Jacobs might give last season a pass due to injuries, but if next season starts out looking the same, I believe he going to start having attitude problems (rightly so) and it would be hard to keep that from spreading through the locker room.
Wonder if they know I already have attitude issues and if / how they're going to address them.

Totally agree that we should improve the Oline.
We return Jacobs, Brooks, and Marshawn Lloyd? I'm pretty confident that we can line up a good RB next year, even with injuries. If the blocking is there,we'll be fine.

How many returns of more than 5 yards does it take to equal one turnover? Not to mention the penalties and injuries.
It's a losing proposition unless you have Devin Hester.

I agree that the offense needs to be centered on both Love and Jacobs. I am trying to understand what Cory meant by that.
Sometimes I wonder if we are missing anything by not having a true fullback. Looking at how the Niners and Ravens use a FB I believe it gives a twist to the offense.

Pruuf reiding. But I would not mind another Wolf prowling 1265 Lombardi.
Can you, or anyone inform me why Jacobs runs out of shotgun so often?
It may just be my sense, but I believe the 3rd down shotgun runs resulted in more three and outs than getting first downs. And the defense back on the field still catching their breath from the last play.
Jacobs is so quick and strong and balanced...he can get 5 yards from the smallest of holes, why make him run another 4-6 yards from behind the LOS?
And Love was good under center using play action, RPOs too! What am I missing?

Couldn't agree more LP. I will probably throw something at my TV if I see another third and one run out of shotgun. I was watching the playoffs this weekend and almost every third and short was run from under center. LaFleur out smarts himself too often.

MLF needs t make a lot of changes. He needs a new DC. While he's at it he needs a new OC, ST Coordinator, & O-Line coach too. I'm sure some others here could name a few more but those are the one's off the top of my head.
BUT, MLF can't dilly dally. He needs to get on this NOW, before all the good ones are hired. DC's like Jimmy Leonard, Brian Flores, Jim Schwartz or Raheem Morris are going to be hired quickly. The HC's who have been hired thus far will start filling their staffs out.
Yesterday on CHTV a writer named 25 possible DC candidates. I saw in a different piece they are interviewing some due named Christian Parker.
Great...More of LaFleur's The Who's who of who the hell are you candidates....SMH!

Christian Parker is the secondary coach for the Eagles (he coached a super bowl secondary a year ago) he was in the running when we hired Hafley, and he's being interviewed by other teams for their dc positions. He's considered an ascending coach in the league and he used to coach here as well. He's not a who the hell are you candidate. You know who was a who the hell are you candidate? Jeff Hafley. Smh.

Nothing will change as long as B Gutekunst is the GM. 72 draft picks, only 3 pro bowl players. 72 draft picks, only 35 are on the current roster. First round draft failures, Gary, Savage, Stokes, Van Ness and Morgan. Walker is good but he will be gone. Special teams are a constant problem because the players on the back half of the roster are not good. You can put bacon on a turd but it's still a turd. BG is the problem.

You can just look at the numbers but what really makes it interesting is comparing his numbers with other GMs and teams. If you do you will find out he has not been off on his draft picks. He is right there with his FA too.
What concerns me is that he does not seem to have a good plan. I have not found his strategy or his vision. It seems as he is doing what he does for the here and now or maybe 2 years out and not 5 years out.
LambeauPlain
January 20, 2026 at 10:15 am
One of the sharpest executives I worked with said your next year's plan needs to be met/exceeded, your 5 year plan is a useful guide.
I certainly hope the GM of Player Personnel is focused on the 2026 team having best talent his scouts can find and the cap can afford. Then its up to LaFleur to coach them up to be a football team.
Ed Policy is the guy who needs to worry about next year and the longer term. He has solidified the acting GM role into his President & CEO duties.

I'd argue that the here and now is usually about a year ahead, and he tends to draft for replacement. 5 years is almost two full careers for the average NFL player and a year longer than a standard 4-year deal, so it's an eternity WRT roster management.

Policy has been a football guy since he was weaned onto solid food. But mostly on the business and legal side.
Was hired August 2012 as Vice President and General Counsel. Then was given an added responsibility as COO and General Counsel to give him more experience with Football Operations.
He reported to, and was mentored by Murphy during his entire tenure.
After the Packers hired a Search Firm that developed a list of 90 candidates to replace Murphy...Surprise!...Policy was unanimously approved by the Board.

The season begins in the playoffs. Yes the season counts but what makes a coach is playoff wins. The problem is MLF has failed at the season and the playoffs. Yes he has failed during the season because the last three years we made the playoffs as the 7th seed. If the playoffs would not be expanded we would not have made it.

The 2026 versions of LaFleur and the Packers will be different from the 2019 version, the 2021 version, the 2023 version, and the 2025 version. I hope the 2026 versions will be an improvement on 2025, and I think it can be.
1. Especially since we're going to be looking at some changes in the coaching staff, I'd like the Packers to seriously consider getting somebody to help him with game management. Speaking as a guy who has coached high school football games, there's a LOT of stuff that you have to pay attention to during the game. If you are calling the plays, then who is paying attention to all the other stuff? The officials, the clock, your players, the sidelines, other coaches, etc......it adds up.
2. We have a great opportunity to reshape/improve the Oline. Walker and Rhyan are FAs and Jenkins should be a casualty because of his salary and health history. We can save $20M by releasing Jenkins. But getting rid of three guys means we have to replace these guys, and not with a bunch of Day 3s and UDFAs. I'd try to get one good guy in FA, and one on Day 2 of the draft. I'd like to see what Love and Jacobs do behind a stronger line...not that I think what we had was bad. It could be better. Improve the offense by improving the line.
3. The new DC has some pretty good stuff to work with . I think the focus has to be on stopping the pass, and that means guys who can cover and tackle. Nixon and Valentine have done a surprisingly good job over the last couple of seasons, but the Packers could use some help here. Maybe Diggs, or a healthy Hobbs, upgrades the secondary, I don't know. We're also going to need some help at DT, particularly in the form of a guy who can make a big pile in the A gaps.

dobber
January 20, 2026 at 01:55 pm
1. I'm hoping Stenavich goes and LaF finds a new OC to work with. Maybe Hafley takes him? In the end, if I'm Stenavich I want to call plays and LaF needs to let someone call plays so he can focus on the bigger picture. If LaF doesn't trust his OC enough that he could call plays, then that guy shouldn't be the OC.
2. Jenkins was "dead man walking" as of about October 1...then he got hurt. Packers need his cap money to move forward. They don't seem to really like Rhyan, and Walker seemed checked out at times at the end of the season. In essence they're letting two starters walk but it makes 3 holes in the two-deep. Morgan has to play, and they can likely sign a FA center pretty affordably to tide them over (they still need to draft a guy who can play there)--and still have some Jenkins money left over to do other things. They need at least two OL out of this draft.
3. They're saying Parsons is planning to be available by week 3 or 4 next fall. There will be a ramp-up involved there, too. What do you do with Diggs? The new DC might have a lot to say (as you indicate) and a DC like Parker or Harris or even Leonhard who has plenty of experience coaching and evaluating DBs might help there. Still, he's eating up $15M of their cap, so they need to act decisively in renegotiating or cutting him loose. There's virtually no savings in cutting Hobbs, but if the new DC favors man coverage (hello, Diggs) that doesn't favor Nixon and Hobbs.
If the Packers draft 6 (which is the picks they have now), I could see them drafting only CB, DL, and OL...but they could use a developmental TE...and a LB...and a DE...and a FB/RB...and...
Ihappydirt
January 23, 2026 at 12:20 am
MLF does need help, so he can hopefully clean up his critical game-changing decisions, time outs and challenges.
I believe Rhyan is back at a decent rate and improves. Walker is gone and I hope he gets a big enough deal to get GB a decent compensatory, Altho that last game performance cost him MM of dollars.
Diggs is already cut (because of his prohibitive $15MM), but I think GB brings him back for less because he wants to play with MP. I like Morris for DC, due to his competence and relationship with MLF.
UDFA will have to help with some of the spots. Huge run-stopper and CB have to be two of the top priorities in draft and FA. Too bad GB didn't take no-brainer Cooper DeJean, but I'm not a Gute ripper. He's gotten plenty right.

Thanks for that, Leotis.
If only there were some ways to reduce the likelihood of your special teams costing you the game.
The Nature Of The Beast. I keep saying we should do things differently, but no, we keep looking for that miracle ST coach. If he really was good, you'd have him for one or two years until another team hired and promoted him.
Stop returning punts. Fair catch.
Stop giving opponents an opportunity to get a long return on a punt.
People do miss FGs, and even extra points. A missed FG is a turnover, and that's why we shouldn't attempt long FGs unless it's the end of the half or game.
I do want to point out that the Packers did not turn it over even once this year on a punt or kick return (other than the onside kick).

Everything changes.
And instead of talk.
Your truly asking for a team,
that can remain competitive despite injuries.
And win it all.
Being complex, and efficient,
takes interchangeable players.
TT traded Money for performance.
Gute trades players for money.
And when the injuries happen.
The team is dumpster diving.
The dilemma Is Lack of competitiveness/void.
Part the picture is "Overachieving".
But position depth, is exactly what MLF needs.
Making MLF responsible is only taking the attention
away from Gute's mistakes.
He's done his job and Ed Policy knew it.

January 20, 2026 at 09:15 am
I have a question, is there a salary cap on coaching staffs? Or how many coaches a team can have. We absolutely need to have someone who can concentrate on calling plays, and someone else who can monitor and control the game. LeFleur can't seem to do both well enough so he should at the least be smart enough to solve those 2 things.
As far as special teams, it is mind boggling to think Bisaccia has not been shown the door already. He has done a substandard job in GB and it should be an easy "lets fix at least one thing" decision.
Being an Iowa Hawkeye fan, I often question "conservative" Kirk Ferentz decisions in game. But one area he does not compromise on is special teams and how they operate. All 3 phases of special teams are top shelf and have been a huge reason the Hawkeyes have had winning records over the lat 10 years when they have been abysmal on offense. Great special teams and defense have kept us winning at least 8 games every year when we should have had worse records. Fix the problem. GPG!!

No, cap only covers players. There is no equivalent for coaches or front office personnel in terms of numbers or pay.
Why are you surprised Bissacia is still here when LaFleur is? For that matter, so is Stenavich and even Butkus at this point. The organization doesn’t seem to feel it needs change and has invested heavily in that.
These stalwarts, or the majority of them are quite likely part of that package. If they weren’t, the chances are we wouldn’t have retained the man who brought them in and had promoted/kept them for so long.
golfpacker61
January 21, 2026 at 08:19 am
I am surprised CW because, while special teams is the smallest of the 3 parts, D-O-ST, it would also be the easiest decision and could & should pay huge dividends. We have a great punter, our kicker had an injury plagued substandard season, and we can't tackle on kicks and punts. Bissacia hasn't solved anything and that part of the game is too important to continue flounder.

No cap on coaching staffs I can see. LaFleur has a coach for every 2 players or so. 29 total.

"Every Decision Matters"
Every decision does matter. Now is the time to soul search and figure out what worked, what didn't work, why it didn't work and what they can do to make it work. This year the team suffered ton of injuries. So how do they better prepare themselves for injuries. How do the players train to prevent injuries and how do they fill in the roster to maximize the backup talent. That to me is a huge one for this offseason.
The coaching staff, there will be changes especially now that we officially have lost Hafley. We all figured that would be the case. We will have to see who he takes with him as well. Does LaFleur decided to blow things up a quite a bit? Do they look for new Coordinators on offense and Teams as well? Do they look for a new OL coach for example? We will have to wait and see what happens there. Filling out the coaching staff with the right guys is on top of the priority list this offseason.
The only thing coaching staff that we know is LaFleur is back and Hafley is gone. Getting the correct DC is very important. The defense that Hafley led was really good. We need to match that or get better. The guy I want is Leonhard. I think he will be a tremendous DC and I would like him to be that in GB.
LambeauPlain
January 20, 2026 at 11:08 am
Nice list but too ambitious for a HC that treasures continuity. It seems his boss does too.
I have never seen LaFleur many changes in an offseason, anyway...unless he was overruled after a long delayed decision by the committee.
mjbrogno
January 20, 2026 at 09:41 am
MLF ? I think we let a new look walk out the door in Hafley. Seven years and nothing to show for it other than a winning record in the regular season. MLF better get it right with new assistants. Joe Barry was a horrible pick for DC. He had two previous DC opportunities and it was horrible. Our ST coach can’t figure it out, another bad pick. A change should have been made to run the show.
TheBigCat
January 20, 2026 at 09:49 am
Honestly, I have no faith in MLF. I think he is a mid-major college HC at best, above average NFL OC, competent cheerleader, and very possibly a stand-up guy. In the future, I don't think the Packers stand a chance to advance past the first round of the playoffs with him as HC, against the likes of the Rams, Seahawks, and Ben-Johnson-lead Bears (did you notice how Williams runs a 3 and 1? Under center, off-tackle where the defense is more porous, instead shotgun formation right behind the center). Thankfully, I have no financial investment in their future,
Coldworld

If we don’t know what LaFleur is now, we likely never will. We seem to be happy with that. That’s your truth and mine, like it or not.

Hafley's defense was soft like Charmin. iIhope he is happy in Miami, but I am glad he is gone. Seeing receivers open by 10 yards is not acceptable. The Packers need players and coaches who can play and coach aggressive football instead of the bend but don't break soft zone that we have seen through three defensive coordinators. When Hafley's defense dropped back in soft zone, it was almost certain the other team was going to score. Good riddance. Rehiring Lafleur, who hired all the other failed defensive coordinators, does not give me confidence that anything will change.
Since'61
January 20, 2026 at 11:59 am
Yes every decision does matter as we have seen with the hiring of MLF and the subsequent results over the past 7 seasons. The Packers need to revamp their coaching staff starting with DC and at OL. Hopefully they give the new DC the opportunity to hire his own staff for the defensive side of the team.
THE OL, DL and CB rooms need better players however Gute has left the Packers without a first round draft selection and with little cap space to work with unless we chuck some of the expensive dead wood Currently on the roster starting with Elton Jenkins, Rashan Gary and let some of the others like Q. Walker and R. Walker leave in FA.
The Packers are truly at a turning point and given MLF's and Gute's track records I don't feel confident that the Packers will make the turn in the right direction.
But here we are again. Thanks, Since '61

Not sure I agree with your detective work here, Cory.
How do you figure that "Oddles" of regular season wins don't mean anything? Not only do these Ws get you into the playoffs, but perhaps more importantly, they are crucial in evaluating the Packer's play to correct coaching, personnel, mistakes, etc. To make sure that when we get to the playoffs, we're not 1-and-done. Again.
And here's where MLF consistantly fails --- learning from his mistakes.
That's the reason why I was against the 4-year deal handed to him. At best we should have made his final contract year a "show me" year.
Too late now.
Hate to be pessimist this early, but with da Bears on the upswing and Lions still solid, 2026 might be a lean year.
Hope I'm wrong.

""if"" the Packers can have their best players stay healthy for one season I think they will be fine...MLF will still be MLF I dont have any idea how that would change...still be looking like he'll cry while staring at that play sheet, but all we can do is hope for the best health wise and hope the new DC is a smart man...

O holy night,
