Matt LaFleur's early success with Packers dependent on cohesion with starting QB

He sports the new face in the organization who could help jumpstart a complete turnaround in operations and get the Packers back to their winning ways; winning ways that seem like a foreign concept after consecutive years of missing the playoffs.

But LaFleur's biggest goal isn't just getting back to the playoffs. Playoff berths won't help his legacy culminate in one worth immortalizing.

Winning championships, however, and etching his name in team lore, will.

It's a tall task for the 39-year-old LaFleur, who now becomes the second-youngest coach in team history. Curly Lambeau coached his first game at age 21 -- that's a record that'll probably never be touched.
