The piece argues that Green Bay’s plan to extend Matt LaFleur may be hampered by the organization’s reluctance to spend enough on coaching, contrasting their roster spending with the need to hire and reward high-quality coordinators.

The author contends that a true draft-and-develop approach requires top-tier coaching to maximize player development, otherwise the franchise risks stagnation even as it contends with higher external costs.
