Overview
- The interview requests position Hafley as a prominent candidate in this year’s coaching market, with Tennessee initiating contact before Atlanta and Arizona followed.
- Hafley’s unit ranked 11th in points allowed and 12th in yards during the regular season, contributing to the Packers’ playoff berth.
- Green Bay will play the postseason without star pass rusher Micah Parsons after his Week 15 ACL tear.
- Hafley previously served as an NFL assistant with the Buccaneers, Browns and 49ers, and he went 22–26 with two bowl appearances as Boston College’s head coach from 2020 to 2023.
- He interviewed for the Jets’ top job after last season before they hired Aaron Glenn, and some analysts view him as a long shot in Atlanta’s search given the Falcons’ preference for an offensive-minded hire.
