"With the Packers preparing to face the Bears in a wild-card round matchup on Saturday, Hafley can't interview with anyone until next week. His defense, which ranked 11th in scoring and 12th in yards during the regular season, helped the Packers to the postseason. They'll enter the playoffs shorthanded, though, after superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons tore his ACL in Week 15. In his first season under Hafley, the former Cowboy produced 12.5 sacks in 14 games."
"While Hafley doesn't have head coaching experience at the NFL level, he did lead Boston College from 2020-23. BC went 22-26 and made trips to two bowl games during that four-year span. Hafley, previously an assistant with the Buccaneers, Browns and 49ers, returned to the pros in 2024. The Packers' defense ranked fifth in scoring and sixth in yards last year, which earned Hafley a head coaching interview with the Jets."
Jeff Hafley serves as the Packers defensive coordinator and has drawn interview requests from the Falcons, Cardinals and Titans for NFL head coaching vacancies. Hafley cannot meet with teams until next week because the Packers are in a wild-card game. His defense finished the regular season 11th in scoring and 12th in yards, contributing to a postseason berth. Micah Parsons suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 15 after recording 12.5 sacks in 14 games under Hafley. Hafley led Boston College from 2020–23 to a 22–26 record with two bowl appearances and previously coached with Tampa Bay, Cleveland and San Francisco.
