Do you know who Matt LaFleur is?
Oh, well, sure you do. For some, he’s the mirage in the desert, the what ifs-of-what-ifs, the anti-Sarkisian daydream, the running-the-ball-in-the-Super-Bowl of people.
LaFleur is also the new offensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans. He is not the offensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons. This fall, two roads are going to converge in a yellow wood, and it’s going to mean a lot for the future of the Atlanta Falcons.
Let’s look back a bit. LaFleur has been a quick riser in the league. Only 38, he’s spent time under Mike and Kyle Shanahan and Gary Kubiak, three of the premiere play callers of their respective generations, and Sean McVay, a new star.
