It seems like the coaching search has come to an end: Adam Schefter (ESPN) broke the news on Monday that the Green Bay Packers Packers are going to hire Matt LaFleur (39) as their new head coach. La Fleur, who served as the offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans for one year (9-7 record), won the job over more popular choices like the Patriots’ offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.
As Rob Demovsky (ESPN) reported, the Packers will keep their defensive staff as well as their defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, who joined the team last year.
La Fleur has no career as an NFL player and started coaching back in 2003, when he served as an offensive assistant at his alma mater, Saginaw Valley State.
