There was really only one question that needed answering when Matt LaFleur sat down at the podium on Wednesday afternoon. Have you talked to Aaron Rodgers? By the time the question had been asked, Mark Murphy already dropped the nugget Rodgers had been part of the Green Bay Packers’ leadership committee during the process. Importantly, he was not on the search committee.
For some fans, and likely some ready-to-pounce media members, that phrasing stands out as a red flag. The Packers really put Rodgers on an advisory committee to find the next coach alongside guys like former GM Charley Casserly?
