Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is facing a challenging season with his team stuck in a six-game losing streak, their longest in 35 years. Despite this, he is not considered one of the most likely NFL coaches to be fired first in 2026, according to betting odds at BetOnline Sports & Casino. LaFleur stands 12th on that list with 33-to-1 odds, far behind Washington’s Dan Quinn who leads as the favorite with 3-to-2 odds.

The Packers have a long history of rarely firing coaches mid-season, having done so only twice in their 107-year history—once in 1953 and again in 2018 when Mike McCarthy was dismissed after 12 games. LaFleur's current struggles include blowing significant leads in multiple games, notably against Minnesota, Chicago, and Cleveland, where Green Bay lost despite having favorable odds of winning between 90% and 99%. These collapses have contributed to fans’ growing frustration.

Quarterback Jordan Love articulated the team’s disappointment after their recent loss to Minnesota, where the Packers had led by 12 points late in the third quarter before conceding 29 unanswered points. LaFleur himself acknowledged the focus on the team’s inability to close out games remains a leading conversation topic both inside and outside the organization. Finishing strong remains a critical challenge for the Packers as the season progresses.

While LaFleur's standing on the "hot seat" list is not dire at the moment, the pressure will continue to build depending on how the Packers respond in upcoming games. The next coaches at greater risk of being fired include Todd Bowles of Tampa Bay, Dave Canales of Carolina, and Aaron Glenn of the New York Jets. Whether LaFleur can turn the season around and avoid the sidelines remains an ongoing story in Packers Nation and the NFL landscape.
