Bill Simmons declared that the Packers cannot keep Matt LaFleur at head coach after blowing Saturday's game against the Bears.
Despite reports involving Matt LaFleur's hot seat and uncertain future following Green Bay's 31-27 wild-card loss to the Chicago Bears in the NFL playoffs, the Packers are expected "to try to work out a deal in the coming days," ESPN reports.
Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley reportedly has interviews scheduled with the Dolphins, Raiders, Titans, Cardinals and Falcons.
The Chicago Bears win over the Green Bay Packers symbolizes more than just a wildcard playoff victory for Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams.
The handshake that Johnson and LaFleur had on Saturday night was actually their third of the season. Their first meeting came in Week 14, when the Packers defeated the Bears, 28-21. This postgame embrace came off a bit icy as well.
The Bears trailed 21-3 early and were down 27-16 with less than five minutes left. They became the third team in NFL history to score 25 or more points in the fourth quarter of a playoff game.
