Mike LaFleur is doing things Sean McVay did in the past — and things his predecessors never did. McVay still will call plays, but he trusts his new OC to take from his plate because LaFleur can connect with players and coaches. danpompei has more.
LaFleur cherished his time with the Falcons in 2015 and 2016 because he worked for head coach Dan Quinn, whose leadership and command were inspiring, because Shanahan and wide receivers coach Raheem Morris provided opportunities for growth, because of the friendships he made and because his brother was the team’s quarterbacks coach.Matt is 7 1/2 years older and Mike’s only sibling.
“Matt was on him hard at first, talking to him like a little brother and trying to punk him,” Shanahan says. “It got to the point where we’d have to give Matt crap and tell him to chill out.” The edges on Mike are a little smoother. “Matt is on the extreme side of detail, a little more anal,” Saleh says.
With wide eyes, Mike witnessed “epic arguments” between the young masterminds — they might debate one practice play for an hour. “I didn’t know there could be so much detail in one play,” Mike says. It was about 10:00 on a February night, and Mike had just finished his only season at Davidson. When the phone rang, he and Lauren had just planned an outing to see Zac Brown in concert.Mike was perplexed. Shanahan had just been hired as the offensive coordinator of the, and Matt had just accepted a job as the quarterbacks coach at Notre Dame. Why would Mike be going to Cleveland?
By the time the LaFleur brothers and their families were vacationing together in the Bahamas last January, Mike had already begun talking with McVay about joining the Rams.“You want to be around people you trust, and I can’t think of somebody I would trust more than my brother,” Matt says. “And if I didn’t think he was worth a shit, I wouldn’t want to hire him.”
