Packers DC Search

Good to have the DC in place evaluating at the Senior Bowl.

The Green Bay Packers have made a surprise hiring for their defensive coordinator vacancy, as they’ve named Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley to be Joe Barry’s successor. Hafley’s name had not previously been reported to be linked to any defensive coordinator opening in the NFL this offseason.

At Boston College, Hafley’s Eagles went 22-26 — including 12-22 in ACC play. Over his four years at the helm, the team was bowl-eligible in three seasons. According to ESPN’s SP+ metric, Boston College finished the 2023 season ranked 77th in the FBS on the defensive side of the ball.

Before joining the college ranks as Ohio State’s co-defensive coordinator in 2019, Hafley had spent the previous six season as a full-time on-field assistant in the NFL. He spent time at three stops as a defensive backs coach: Tampa Bay (2013), Cleveland (2014-2015) and San Francisco (2016-2018).

In Cleveland, Hafley spent time with then-offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, who would later hire him to coach in San Francisco. As the leader of the defensive backs room with the Browns, Hafley’s two assistant defensive backs coaches were Bobby Babich — who the Packers also interviewed for their defensive coordinator opening before Babich took the Buffalo Bills’ vacancy — and Aaron Glenn — who is currently receiving NFL head coaching opportunities. Ryan Downard, the Packers’ current defensive backs coach, was also a defensive assistant for the Browns during Hafley’s time in Cleveland.

Despite being originally hired by Chip Kelly’s 49ers, Hafley was retained by Shanahan when the later was named the team’s new head coach in 2017. There, Hafley coached with Packers head coach Matt LaFleur’s brother, Mike LaFleur, who was San Francisco’s passing game specialist and wide receivers coach. Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich was also the assistant offensive line coach of the team. On the defensive end, Hafley took marching orders from defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, now the head coach of the New York Jets, and worked with two defensive quality control coaches in DeMeco Ryans, now the Houston Texans’ head coach, and Bobby Slowik, now the Texans’ offensive coordinator.

According to Pete Thamel, a college football reporter for ESPN, this is what a source told him on Hafley’s jump to the NFL:

He wants to go coach football again in a league that is all about football. College coaching has become fundraising, NIL and recruiting your own team and transfers. There’s no time to coach football anymore.

At the moment, the Packers have not made an official statement on the hiring, but general manager Brian Gutekunst is expected to make his end-of-the-season press conference on Thursday. Clearly, he’s going to be asked about the hire.

What's taking so long to get the DC job selected and announced?

Why should they be in a hurry?

Huh? Why shouldn't they be in a hurry?

There are candidates they are interested in that they could not interview until at earliest 2 days ago... They may still be interested in someone still playing football and can't be interviewed. No reason to be in a hurry at this point unless they find their guy, which it appears they did.

OK. Close the book on this thread!

Here's Why Zach Orr isn't our DC. Apparently he declined it.

Wouldn’t have expected any Baltimore member to pick us over Baltimore, or Seattle if they got calling duties.

And more clearly as we have seen, any ‘report’ on what Green Bay did is garbage, not a single source knows that we even talked to Hafley.

Still makes me question all the Leonhard reporting from 3 years ago. Maybe? But I question it.

The Packers front office will be a case study in secrecy for the FBI and the CIA in the future.

Those guys aren't reporting these things, it's the national boys and some no names trying to make a name. That said, 1265 has been known for secrecy.

Yup. Case of being mad at the wrong guy.

Back when I worked for KVWN channel 4 in San Diego, we used to infiltrate buildings through the duct work and set up recorders in the ceilings. We would always get the story to the people every morning, by any means necessary. These guys don’t have the same hunger. They know they will be getting paid anyways thanks to the minions that defend them despite their laziness.

So you don't like the Packers beat writers and blogger Herman because they aren't willing to brake the law to get you inside and private conversations like you did with KVWN?

It’s not about breaking the law. It’s about getting the story right. Ron wanted to break news, we did what we had to do.

If packer front office is so tight lip that no one ever breaks a story ever, why do we have beat reporters? Lol they should go get actual jobs where they do something helpful to society.

It is about doing illegal activities. If the beat writers tried this kind of stuff, they'd never get any interviews or have any help from "sources inside the organization." Beat writers rely a great deal on trust and honesty to do their jobs in Green Bay.

So it is illegal.

It is illegal to trespass on private property without permission.

It is also illegal to record, monitor, etc. a conversation without at least one party's permission.

"infiltrating a building through ductwork to set up recorders in ceilings" absolutely breaks both of those laws.
