Tennessee time helped shape Matt LaFleur as a coach, taught lessons in adversity before success in Green Bay

GREEN BAY — Matt LaFleur has enjoyed more success in his first two seasons as the Green Bay Packers head coach than anyone else in the team’s storied history.

More than Vince Lombardi, more than Mike Holmgren, more than Mike McCarthy — all Super Bowl champion coaches.

LaFleur’s Packers are 24-6 over his first 30 regular-season games as coach; they’ve won back-to-back NFC North championships; they reached last year’s NFC Championship Game (making him the first head coach in team history to make the postseason in his first season); they enter Sunday night’s game against the Tennessee Titans at Lambeau field sporting an 11-3 record and in position to earn the conference’s No.
