Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur isn’t worrying about his job security following his team’s 10-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on ‘Monday Night Football’ in Week 10.
LaFleur commented on the matter when asked whether he believed he was coaching for his job over the rest of the 2025 NFL season.
‘l’ll leave that for everybody else to decide,’ LaFleur said. ‘I’ll just focus on the day to day.’
‘I feel like you’re always coaching for everything in this league,’ the 46-year-old added. ‘That’s just my mindset. It’s always been that way. You can’t ever exhale. You gotta always be pushing. That’s just my mindset, and that will be my mindset until they tell me not to coach anymore.’
LaFleur’s comments come after the Packers dropped their second consecutive home game and fell to third in the NFC North race, behind the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears (both 6-3).
They also come as LaFleur faces long-term uncertainty about his future. His contract only runs through the 2026 NFL season, per reports, and Green Bay opted not to extend him ahead of the 2025 campaign.
The Packers still have plenty of time to extend LaFleur if they so desire. That said, the team could be using the 2025 season to evaluate LaFleur – who has a 72-36-1 regular-season record since taking Green Bay’s reins in 2019 but has never won multiple playoff games in a single season.
Thus far, the 2025 Packers have a winning record at 5-3-1 but have been inconsistent. They have also struggled offensively in their losses. The Packers are averaging just 10 points per game in those three contests, a problem LaFleur acknowledged during his postgame news conference on Nov. 10.
‘You score seven points in this league, you’re probably not gonna win many games,’ LaFleur said after the team’s loss to the Eagles.
LaFleur will see a reminder of the pressure he’s facing in Week 11, when the Packers look to end their two-game losing skid against the New York Giants. The Giants just fired coach Brian Daboll after a 2-8 start to his fourth season with the club.
