Back in June,\u00a0then-incoming Green Bay Packers president Ed Policy\u00a0said that he doesn\u2019t plan to extend the contracts of head coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst.<\/p>\n

At the same time, he said that he is\u00a0\u201cgenerally opposed\u201d\u00a0to having the head coach and the general manager working for the team with just a year left in their current contracts. Both LaFleur and Gutekunst have two more years remaining on their pacts with Green Bay.<\/p>\n

Are LaFleur and Gutenkunst on the Green Bay Packers\u2019 hot seat in 2025?<\/b><\/h2>\n

That subject was touched on anew recently, when Packers insider and The Athletic reporter Matt Schneidman guested on\u00a0an episode of the Pat McAfee Show.<\/p>\n

Asked if LaFleur and Gutekunst are on a prove-it scenario in the 2025 NFL season as it relates to their chances to get extension contracts, Schneidman said that he initially felt confident that the pair would get newer deals down the road. After all, Policy is familiar with LaFleur and Gutekunst, even though he wasn\u2019t the team president when both got hired.<\/p>\n

However, Schneidman also admitted, retrospectively, that he \u201cmight have been wrong in my [his] initial read,\u201d and that he could see the Packers parting ways with LaFleur and Gutekunst in the event that Green Bay fails to make the playoffs in the coming season.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, if the Packers don\u2019t make the playoffs this year, which I don\u2019t think happens, but it\u2019s a possibility, I could certainly see Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst, and I don\u2019t think this is hyperbole, both getting fired after this year.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
