​Head coach Matt LaFleur has to win in 2026, but it’s more than just that. He’s done plenty of winning for the Green Bay Packers.LaFleur boasts a 76-40-1 regular season record in seven seasons with the Packers. That’s good for a winning percentage of .654%. That’s sixth-best amongst all active NFL head coaches.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHe’s taken the Packers to the playoffs in six out of seven seasons.So no, it’s not winning that’s the problem for LaFleur and the Packers. It’s when those wins comes.After last season’s disappointing playoff loss to the Chicago Bears in the NFC Wild Card round, LaFleur is just 3-6 as a head coach in the playoffs.His winning percentage drops from .654% to .333% when it really matters. That’s the second-worst amongst all active NFL head coaches and the 89th worst all-time when evaluating the 107 coaches who have led a team in the playoffs since 1928.For what it’s worth, the best winning percentage in the playoffs belongs to Vince Lombardi, at .900%.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementLombardi is, of course, the standard in Green Bay and arguably across the league, but a better comparison for LaFleur is former Packers head coach Mike McCarthy — now the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. His winning percentage in the playoffs is .500%.McCarthy was criticized for being unable to get the Packers back over the hump after winning the Super Bowl in 2010-11, but he did at the very least win a Super Bowl.Forget Lombardi and his winning percentage for a moment. Instead, focus on his last name. The expectation in Green Bay is to win the Lombardi Trophy, and the Packers haven’t done that since McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers did in that epic 2010-11 season.It has been 15 long years since the Packers hoisted that trophy, and after two straight trips to the NFC Championship with Aaron Rodgers as quarterback in 2019 and 2020, the Packers don’t seem any closer to winning the Super Bowl than they did in the moments directly following the disastrous 2014 NFC Championship Game collapse to the Seattle Seahawks.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementForget the regular season. It’s been a long time since the trophy named after Green Bay’s legendary head coach has been hoisted by a player wearing green and gold.That’s LaFleur’s ultimate goal. That’s his pass-or-fail test at the end of this 2026 season, and unfortunately, our last impression of Green Bay’s current head coach doesn’t inspire confidence.Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur leads his team againt the New York Jets during their football game Saturday, August 9, 2025, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
