| 0:00.0 | Matt LaFleur has been the head coach of the Green Bay Packers for seven seasons, 7640 and 1, |
| 0:10.1 | 3 and 6 in the postseason, three titles, three straight playoff appearances as the number 7 seed, |
| 0:16.7 | which means but for the expansion of the playoffs in 2020, the Packers would be on a four-year streak of no postseason appearances. |
| 0:23.8 | We talked about this briefly yesterday. |
| 0:27.4 | After presenting LaFleur's reaction to the stuff that Aaron Rogers said Monday night, |
| 0:33.0 | he was speechless from the gratuitous praise that Rogers offered |
| 0:37.3 | and the anger that Rogers had at the suggestion that LaFleur is on the hot seat. |
| 0:42.0 | Yesterday morning, Shephty was on ESPN Milwaukee, and he said, and I scoured his Twitter page to see, because what we'll say in settings like this is often very different from what we'll put in writing and tweet. |
| 0:56.9 | You get a lot looser in this setting, but he said that it's up in the air with Matt LaFleur. |
| 1:04.8 | Look, this is a point that we've been making all week. |

| 1:17.8 | for the Pack. He's on the ropes. Punch him through. Like, you just blew a 21-3 lead against |
| 1:25.6 | our arch rivals in a playoff game. You would be on a four-year |
| 1:29.3 | streak of no postseason but for the availability of the seventh seed. We've underachieved, |
| 1:35.7 | more often than not. Look at these quotes from Quay Walker from after the game. And LaFleur said, |
| 1:40.7 | both Saturday night and Sunday, this is the best job. I want to be here. I mean, |
| 1:44.3 | if we're just going to do negotiations, if we're going to set a price on a house that someone's |
| 1:48.0 | trying to buy, the leverages with the Packers. So if they lowball him and he says, shove it sideways, |
| 1:55.3 | they're stuck because he's under contract for one more year. And Ed Policy, the new president, |
| 1:59.7 | the team has said, he doesn't like lame duck arrangements. So they could be at an impasse here, and what do you |
| 2:05.2 | do? And until they tell the world the floor is going to be back for 2026, we have to acknowledge |
