“If you can’t beat them, join them.”
That seems to be the approach the Green Bay Packers took when selecting Matt LaFleur to be the team’s next head coach.
A year ago Green Bay’s arch rival Chicago Bears hired Matt Nagy off of Andy Reid’s staff in Kansas City despite limited experience in calling plays and paired him with respected defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.
The results? A 12-4 record and a curb stomping of the NFC North.
The Packers are obviously hoping for similar success with LaFleur in 2019.
