"We are excited to welcome Jeff, his wife,
Gina, and their daughters, Hope and Leah, to the Packers and the
Green Bay community," Packers coach Matt LaFleur said in a
statement. "Jeff has had success at every stop of his coaching
career with an impressive track record of developing players at
every level. We look forward to him leading our defense."
Hafley was co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach at Ohio
State in 2019, when the Buckeyes had one of the top defenses in
the nation in several statistical categories. He was a finalist
for the Frank Broyles Award as the top assistant football coach
in NCAA Division I.
Hafley was 22-26 in four seasons at Boston College, going 7-6 in
2023, including a win over No. 22 SMU in the Fenway Bowl.
"I loved my four years at Boston College," Hafley said in a
statement released by Boston College. "This is an exceptional
place to coach given the caliber of student-athletes we recruit,
the facilities, and the support from the University and BC fans.
I will miss the players who gave so much of themselves these
past four years, and my wife Gina and I will certainly miss the
BC community and the many friends we have made here."
Hafley coached at the college level from 2001-11 before his NFL
coaching experience.
In replacing the fired Joe Barry, Hafley becomes the third
different defensive coordinator as LaFleur enters his sixth
season as Packers head coach.
