Matt LaFleur is giving Aaron Rodgers some space as the quarterback decides his future in both the NFL and with the Green Bay Packers.
"I told him, I don't wanna be overbearing and tell him every day how much we love him and how much we want him back," LaFleur said. "So you just wanna be respectful of his space and allow him to think through everything clearly without being annoying, I guess."
LaFleur did make it clear how involved Rodgers was in the hiring of his new quarterbacks coach. It was no coincidence that LaFleur hired Tom Clements, one of Rodgers' original coaches in the NFL.
"He had a significant role," LaFleur said when asked what part Rodgers played in the hire.
"I would say that in terms of just our conversations over the last couple years and how much he credits Tom for his development, it was very intriguing when we had an opportunity."
