Have you seen those fun posts based on some Net Gen Stats? As of October 10, they went like this: “Bill Belichick would need to win 310 consecutive games to match Matt LaFleur’s win percentage.” Now that MLF has added another regular season win, he stands at 31-7, a win percentage of 81.6, so Next Gen will need to adjust its number accordingly.
While the Belichick comparison is fun and games, it does strongly suggest that the Packers have a rare talent in the former quarterback from Saginaw Valley State in Michigan.
I believe that except for George Seifert, who inherited the Super Bowl champion 49ers in 1989, no other new head coach has gotten off to such a successful NFL start.
