The Green Bay Packers have hired Titans offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur as their head coach, the team announced Tuesday.

Per NFL.com's Tom Pelissero, LaFleur will join the Packers on a four-year deal which includes a fifth-year option.

News of Green Bay's hire comes just over a month after firing Mike McCarthy following a 13-year tenure with the franchise.

LaFleur led Tennessee to the NFL's No. 27 scoring offense in 2018. He served as the Rams offensive coordinator in 2017, coming to Los Angeles after two seasons as the Falcons quarterbacks coach.

The 39-year-old coordinator is the third youngest head coach in the NFL and the 15th coach in Packers history.
