Packers president and CEO Ed Policy is expected to decide on head coach Matt LaFleur’s future with the team by Monday.

12 January 2026

LaFleur told reporters that he will meet with Policy “either the night of Jan. 11 or sometime Jan. 12, indicating a decision on his future will come soon.” The Packers’ head coach has just one year remaining on his contract and it is “Policy who faces the decision on whether to extend or fire” him. Policy previously stated he prefers to avoid a “lame-duck situation” where LaFleur coaches the Packers in 2026 on an expiring contract. This is a difficult decision. Coaches like LaFleur, capable of guiding a franchise to a 76-41 record, are tough to replace.
