The Green Bay Packers claimed that Aaron Rodgers would have no input in the search for a new coach, but that doesn't appear to have been the case.
During his introductory press conference on Wednesday, Matt LaFleur admitted he got a phone call from Rodgers before he received a job offer from the Packers.
"That's kind of how I had an idea that maybe I was in the running for it," LaFleur said.
"The conversation went great," he continued. "I can tell he's a passionate guy, and he wants to win. And I think that holds true for me as well. So I think we're in alignment there because, like I said before, this game is about winning. I know that he wants to add to his legacy, and the only way we're going to accomplish that is to win a world championship."
The Green Bay Packers are expected to hire Matt LaFleur as their next head coach.
LaFleur spent last season as the Tennessee Titans' offensive coordinator and previously worked under Sean McVay for the Los Angeles Rams and Kyle Shanahan with the Atlanta Falcons.
A source said LaFleur would like to keep defensive coordinator Mike Pettine on board.
The Packers zeroed in on LaFleur after interviewing 10 candidates.
