[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1090180, member: 17987"] Just for fun (since there is just not a lot going on right now), not really presenting much of any "new" info but thought it would be interesting to look at the pros/cons of keeping LaFleur or not in a "point-counterpoint" type of format. [B]Matt has an excellent regular-season win percentage,[/B] among the best in the league.... [B]BUT his postseason win percentage is poor [/B](amongst the worst for coaches with as many appearances), with no Super Bowl appearances and many early exits [B]Matt has coached his team to make the playoffs in six out of seven years[/B] as head coach...[B]BUT several of those appearances have been as the expanded #7 seed, and as a wild card[/B] entry rather than divisional champion over the last 3 seasons. [B]Matt's offensive scheme - motion, spacing, play action, etc - has been proven to be effective across multiple QBs and personnel groupings[/B]...BUT in "clutch" or "high pressure" moments [B]the offense tends to get predictable and/or conservative[/B] and dramatically loses its effectiveness. [B]Matt has a good record for developing and/or maximizing his QB.[/B] He coached Rodgers through two MVP seasons, helped bring up Love, and has even had success when Malik Willis gets in games...BUT critics will argue that [B]he was aided by elite individual performances[/B] from Rodgers at times, and has not always coached Love "to his strengths". At times it seems like he wants to call an offense that would be a better fit for Willis. He has faced criticism for not trusting Love enough and/or handling him a bit too carefully/conservatively. [B]Matt is well-liked in the locker room[/B], he is drama-free, seems like a high-character type of guy, and in general presents a "stable" environment to work in...BUT can also be [B]seen as passive or timid, lacking accountability and/or urgency. Matt's teams are almost always "solid" and "competitive[/B]" and often carry that into the postseason...[B]BUT are[/B] [B]rarely "feared" or seen as big favorites. They often lack a clear identity[/B] or clear-cut "elite" defining trait. They are often the team "reacting" rather than setting the tone. [B]Matt generally makes good "big-picture" adjustments.[/B] In seasons when we have entered a lull or slump he usually does well at getting the team to "rally" and improve...[B]BUT his in-game and/or halftime adjustments have often failed[/B] to match his opponents' maneuvers. [B]Matt is typically a "modern" or future-oriented coach[/B] who is open to analytics work and tries to implement a forward-thinking offensive structure...[B]BUT tends to get regressive and overly cautious[/B] when in pressure situations. He does not always seem to rely on the the analytics when all the chips are down. [B]Matt promotes contuinity within his staff[/B] and works to maintain coaching continuity...[B]BUT can be loyal to a fault[/B], often keeping guys around for far too long to the detriment of the team's overall performance(s) [B]Matt is a very "high floor" coach.[/B] Even his "bad" games are usually competitive, and rarely does his team completely collapse...[B]BUT he has also not shown a consistent ability to raise the team's "ceiling". [/B]In particular when he faces top opponents he is often unable to get his team to an "extra gear" to rise to the occasion. [/QUOTE]
