Green Bay Packers Introduce Jeff Hafley as New Defensive Coordinator
The Green Bay Packers have made a significant coaching announcement, revealing Jeff Hafley as their new defensive coordinator. This news comes as Head Coach Matt LaFleur expressed his excitement about Hafley joining the Packers and praised his impressive track record of player development.
Hafley previously served as the head coach for Boston College for four seasons, where he led the team to bowl eligibility in three of those years.

Before his successful stint at Boston College, Hafley worked as the co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach for Ohio State in 2019. He received recognition as a finalist for multiple coaching awards and played a crucial role in the Buckeyes’ defense, which also excelled in various statistical categories.
Notably, Hafley started his coaching career in the NFL as an assistant coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This experience provided him with valuable insights into the professional football world. He then moved on to work for the San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns as an NFL assistant coach.
