The NFL is set to feature a second pair of brothers in the head coaching ranks as Mike LaFleur is expected to be hired by the Arizona Cardinals. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the move will see Mike LaFleur join his brother, Matt LaFleur, as a head coach in the league.
Matt LaFleur has served as the head coach of the Green Bay Packers since 2019. With Mike LaFleur expected to land in Arizona, the brothers join John Harbaugh and Jim Harbaugh as the only siblings currently leading NFL sidelines. The Harbaugh brothers recently reunited in the professional ranks following Jim Harbaugh's return to the NFL with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Mike LaFleur brings significant coaching experience to the Cardinals organization as they look to solidify their leadership for the upcoming season. The move marks a major milestone for the LaFleur family, matching the rare feat achieved by the Harbaughs in having two brothers lead NFL franchises simultaneously. Further details regarding the official contract and staff hirings are expected to follow the formal announcement.
