The 2 had been graduate assistants at Central Michigan College in 2004 and had been even roommates, and 4 years later, Saleh obtained Gary Kubiak, who was then the pinnacle coach of the Houston Texans, to rent LaFleur as an offensive assistant.
The Packers had been anticipated by many to at the least have a puncher’s probability at attending to the Tremendous Bowl this season, and after some early jitters, they now have a 5-2 file and are threatening the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions, each of whom are 5-1.
