The Green Bay Packers are mired in a six-game losing streak — their longest in 35 years — under head coach Matt LaFleur.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur’s Q-rating may have taken a nose dive with Packer Nation in the last year, or two.
When it comes to the odds of NFL coaches being fired, though, LaFleur ranks just 12th at BetOnline Sports & Casino.
Washington’s Dan Quinn is the favorite to be the first coach fired, carrying 3-to-2 odds (+150). Tampa Bay’s Todd Bowles (7/2), Carolina’s Dave Canales (6/1), Aaron Glenn of the New York Jets (7/1) and Indianapolis’ Shane Steichen (10/1) round out the top five.
LaFleur currently carries 33-to-1 odds of being the first coach fired in 2026.
Green Bay has fired just two coaches during the middle of a season in its 107-year history.
In 1953, Gene Ronzani was fired after 10 games, then Ray “Scooter” McLean and Hugh Devore served as co-head coaches the final two games. In 2018, Mike McCarthy was fired after 12 games and Joe Philbin coached the final four games.
The Packers are mired in a six-game losing streak, their longest since they lost seven straight under Lindy Infante in 1990-91.
Green Bay’s inability to finish games has bordered on the absurd.
The Packers led Minnesota, 22-10, late in the third quarter Sunday. The Vikings scored 29 unanswered points, though, and rolled to a 39-22 win.
“It just sucks the way we ended that game,” quarterback Jordan Love said. “It sucks.”
Green Bay also lost double digit leads — and games — to Chicago on two occasions and to Cleveland in 2025. The Packers’ odds of winning those four games ranged between 90-99%, yet they went 0-4 in those contests.
The probability of going winless in those games was 1-in-2.5 million, but LaFleur’s team did exactly that.
“I think it’s going to be a topic of conversation for all you guys until we do it,” LaFleur said of finishing. “That’s the bottom line.”
For now, though, LaFleur isn’t at, or near, the top of hot seat coaches.
Whether or not he can stay off that list remains to be seen.
