The Packers are valued at something like 7 billion dollars. If we try and draw a comparison to a large non-football corporation, roughly speaking you'd have where the head coach is the equivalent of the COO. He's responsible for executing the "strategy" and objectives set by the CEO and ownership/board, he's accountable for organizational outcomes, he's the person who is chiefly in control of the "product," he's responsible for "Talent deployment," and so on. So with that in mind - can you imagine a $7 billion corporation offering a new long-term contract with pay raise given the circumstances? In the event of an extension there are only two possible ultimate outcomes here:1. The team recognizes that Matt has not lived up to expectations but is choosing to continue with him anyways. Either they believe that he will eventually get there, or they are afraid the next guy will be worse, or some combination of both.2. The team is satisfied with our performance under LaFleur and are happy to continue. He has met his "performance standards" and rightly earned an extension (in short: we admit that we are satisfied with being a "Fringe" or "one and done" playoff team and nothing more)But I think the reality is that in the real world this type of "COO" would've been LONG GONE by now.</blockquote>
