    Official Fire Jeff Hafley Thread

    Packers have the talent to have the best defense in the NFL. You think that's gonna happen? Fire him now!

    I was going to start this thread, but you beat me to it. I'll go on record, right from the start, as not liking this hire. MLF chose experience over results and teaching ability. This guy stunk at BC last year (worse than Barry before being hired by MLF). BC was worse against the pass than Barry's defense ever was against the run. I get that the Baltimore DB coach may well be the Baltimore DC now, but the Denver DB coach sounded good. And to top it off, we will have 3-4 personnel trying to run a 4-3. The defense will be a bigger problem next year than it was this year. They will need to have the next two drafts be near perfect and heavy on defense to make it work. Our only hope is Love and the receiving corps being like the StL Rams flying circus.
    Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!

    I'm glad to see someone else who's not looking at Hafley through green and gold colored glasses. I won't make the dire predictions you are, because we just don't have any way of knowing how it's going to work out. But I totally agree that Hafley got a ton of criticism for his coaching at BC, and there was a growing dissatisfaction with him. Word in Beantown was that his job was in jeopardy after starting 1-3 this past season, but they turned it around and ran up a winning streak before collapsing again in the last 3rd of the season. There are a lot of people there who are delighted to get rid of him, and that's rarely a good sign.

    This is all not to even mention: why does Green Bay want this guy? His defenses at BC were not exactly stellar. The Eagles could hardly generate any pass rush this year, despite having preseason all-ACC defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku. The Eagles got blown out of the water multiple times this season, including a game against Louisville in which they gave up 42 points in the first half. His teams were constantly undisciplined and committed countless penalties. And he didn’t really develop any significant talent on the defensive side of the ball.

    So.... the jury's out. Matt hire dhim, so we have to give him some time and space to do his job, but there isn't aything about this guy that strongly suggests he's someone who can come in and save a failing defense.

    Gary and LVN are 4-3 ends more than they’re OLBs. Preston is an OLB. You can trust him in the curl/flat zone. But he can put his hand down. They’ll all bulk up to 280. Rashan in particular will benefit. Gary could go 300 if he wanted to.

    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    Tom Silverstein pointed out that MLF and Hafley know each other, but not well. Hafley has coached with guys that MLF knows (Saleh, Shanahan, Mike LaFleur). And MLF never coached with Staley.

    Asshole, every job you ever got was probably a friend or family connection.

    I wish this to be true; but the only job my parents ever helped me with was one I took at age 15 as a dishwasher, and then cook at a restaurant

    I'm sure he likes folks who have worked with and can vouch for a guy's real world work, but I don't think they were pals. I think this one is very outside the box and kinda makes me think he went for the guy he thought would be best long term instead of a guy that he knew and trusted but maybe had a lower ceiling. This is the ultimate "I'm very comfortable in my job and can risk it a bit" pick.

    Ultimately I have never heard of the guy and my initial impression was gross but in milf we trust. I guess I think that he is the position where he can sit back and be choosy and is comfortable and experienced enough to know that hiring a lower ceiling but trustworthy buddy was the wrong move.

    I’ll have to double check but this has to be the longest it took for this thread to get started.
