# Packers' Coach LaFleur's Looks Overshadow His Performance Fans care more about wins than LaFleur's polished appearance. - **Source:** [Forbes - Business](https://brifing.si/source/e0310925-a7af-4d4b-80a7-c80d400e49fa) - **Published:** 2026-08-05 - **Topic:** [Business](https://brifing.si/c/business) - **Original article:** - **On Brifing:** https://brifing.si/s/7b9aba18-b996-4f55-9554-a733fc35a272 ## Most Attractive Coaches Ranking According to a Covers.com survey of over 5,000 fans, Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur was voted the NFL's second most attractive coach. Los Angeles Rams' Sean McVay topped the list with 15.93% of votes, while LaFleur came in second at 8.28%. Seattle's Mike Macdonald, Philadelphia's Nick Sirianni, and Kansas City's Andy Reid rounded out the top five. LaFleur stands out as the only coach in this group without a Super Bowl win. ## The Success vs. Appearance Paradox LaFleur's recent playoff record stands at 1-5, and the team hasn't won the NFC North since 2021. Fans are frustrated with his return for an eighth season. Meanwhile, his crisp fade haircut, praised eyebrows, and well-groomed beard keep him in the spotlight. Former player Aaron Rodgers once complimented, 'His eyebrow game is strong.' ## What Fans Really Want Packers fans are used to more traditional-looking coaches like Mike McCarthy and Mike Holmgren. Many think LaFleur is 'too polished' and prefer a grittier image paired with meaningful wins. ESPN host Pat McAfee noted, 'He's always perfectly faded,' highlighting LaFleur's meticulous appearance. ## Playoff Struggles LaFleur started strong with a 28-8 record in his first two seasons, leading the Packers to back-to-back NFC Championship games. But he's won just one of his last six playoff matches. Entering 2026 on a five-game losing streak, the team tests fans' patience. Last season, they blew double-digit leads in three games, including a historic collapse against Chicago. ## Survey Highlights Chicago's Ben Johnson and New England's Mike Vrabel tied for sixth (5.46%), while Detroit's Dan Campbell ranked eighth (5.18%). At the bottom were Las Vegas' Klint Kubiak (0.80%) and the New York Jets' Aaron Glenn (0.60%). The results show no direct link between coaching success and appearance in fans' eyes. ## The Discipline Behind the Look Former Atlanta coach Arthur Smith joked, 'Matt spends an hour in the mirror pre-game.' Despite fans wanting a 'messier but winning' coach, LaFleur's grooming habits remain unchanged. No matter the 2026 results, one thing's certain: he'll keep his spot among the NFL's best-dressed coaches. ## By the Numbers LaFleur's overall playoff record is 3-6 (.333). The team's NFC North drought since 2021 fuels discontent. Last season's Wild Card loss to Chicago—after blowing a 21-3 halftime lead—intensified criticism. Fans crave trophies, not just a coach who tops attractiveness polls. ## Outlook for 2026 Whether LaFleur can turn things around in his eighth season is uncertain. But everyone agrees on one thing: he'll remain one of the NFL's most stylish coaches. The real question is when victories will match his impeccable appearance. ## Sources covering this story - https://www.forbes.com/sites/robreischel/2026/08/05/packers-matt-lafleur-hasnt-won-big-but-hes-looked-good-in-defeat/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
