The NFL coaching carousel sparks a fascinating debate on Jen, Gabe & Chewy:

If Matt LaFleur and John Harbaugh were both available, who would teams want more?

The crew breaks down how modern NFL franchises value quarterback development over everything else — and why that reality may tilt the scale toward LaFleur, especially for teams drafting young quarterbacks at the top of the draft.

Key discussion points include:

🏈 Why offensive head coaches dominate the league

Teams with rookie QBs want:

The same play-caller year after year

No coordinator poaching

A clear developmental voice

LaFleur’s work with Aaron Rodgers, Jordan Love, and Malik Willis becomes the centerpiece of the argument.

🧠 The case for John Harbaugh

On the other side:

A Super Bowl ring

Two decades of credibility

Immediate locker-room authority

The hosts debate whether “CEO-style” coaches still hold the same value — or if that era has passed.

💰 The leverage problem

The discussion turns serious when it comes to contracts:

LaFleur could command top-tier money on the open market

Short extensions make no sense

A lame-duck season benefits no one

The group agrees on one core truth:

The Packers need LaFleur more than LaFleur needs the Packers.

🔄 What happens if negotiations fail

They explore uncomfortable possibilities:

Playing out the contract

Firing a winning coach

Letting another team pay LaFleur market value

And why the Packers’ historic reluctance to spend on coaches could backfire.

🧩 Why this is Ed Policy’s first real test

The hour frames this decision as a defining moment for the front office:

Commit fully

Or move on quickly

Anything in between risks organizational chaos.
