Being good at Ohio State, with the way they can recruit, is not a sign of massive talent. MLF went with friend of a friend, just like with Barry.

Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
The NFL is a small fraternity. There’s going to be a connection no matter who he picks. I’ll bet he’s high paid. BC HC probably gets more than a normal DC.

Hafley was making 3M at BC. He’s going to be well compensated.
Formerly known as JustinHarrell.
Todd Bowles was making 3M as a coordinator in Tampa so it’s not unheard of. But this guy is gonna be a high paid coordinator. He’s not leaving millions on the table.

Pros:
Friend of Lafleurs best friend
Experienced coaching young players
Experience organizing a large group
Experience as an NFL DB coach
Young
Highly thought of as a recruiter (must be able to connect to young players)
Cons
None
This is the best hire in the world. There isn’t one coach in the league better. This is a 42 year old bill belichick about to take over as the coaching GOAT.

Looking through the google images, he looks wound tight. Has a substantial amount of rage. How can you not appreciate a little rage from your DC?

I think the Packers have the kind of corners who will benefit from playing more press man. Might even resurrect Stokes, if he's not damaged physically.

I always find it funny when Capers drops Raji into the hook zone and he gets a pick 6 for a tuddy and everyone celebrates the creativity, but then the next guy drops Preston into an Curl/flat and a receiver picks up a 12 yard chunk, the world is falling.
Let’s relax on having to drop the same exact 7 into coverage with no surprises thing here. There are benefits to a surprise coverage player.

Capers ran quite a bit of single safety with Collins in centerfield and Peprah and other scrubs in the box.
We’re going to be on the lookout for a natural center fielder if that’s what we’re going to be running.
Formerly known as JustinHarrell.
We’re drafting Kameron Kinchens. Don’t know if he’ll run 4.38 like Collins, but he might. Same body type. Write up is that he’s a rare true centerfield type who is dominant in space.
He’s the guy.

Packers make it official.
The Green Bay Packers have named Jeff Hafley defensive coordinator. Head Coach Matt LaFleur made the announcement Wednesday.
"We are excited to welcome Jeff, his wife, Gina, and their daughters, Hope and Leah, to the Packers and the Green Bay community," added LaFleur. "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 comes to the Packers after working as the head coach for Boston College for the past four seasons (2020-23), where he led the Eagles to bowl eligibility in three of his four years. In 2021, the defense ranked No. 3 nationally in passing yards allowed (173.5 per game) and also were top-30 nationally in total defense, red-zone defense, first downs allowed, third-down percentage, team passing efficiency and defensive touchdowns. The Eagles also led the ACC in fewest penalties and fewest penalty yards.
Prior to his time at BC, Hafley was the co-defensive coordinator/secondary coach for Ohio State in 2019. In his one season in Columbus, he was a finalist for the Frank Broyles Award and the 247 Sports Defensive Coordinator of the Year. Hafley helped the Buckeye defense rank No. 1 nationally in yards per play, No. 2 in total defense and passing yards allowed, No. 3 in scoring defense and sacks, No. 7 in rushing defense and No. 1 in red-zone defense. The Buckeyes registered 15 interceptions in 2019, tied for No. 9 in the nation, while allowing just 25 pass plays of 20-plus yards.
Before his time at Ohio State, Hafley spent seven seasons as an NFL assistant coach. The Montvale, N.J., native worked as a defensive backs coach for the San Francisco 49ers (2016-18) and Cleveland Browns (2014-15). In 2018, the 49ers ranked No. 11 in the NFL in passing defense and were No. 14 in 2016 after ranking No. 27 the year before Hafley arrived. He first coached in the NFL as an assistant defensive backs coach for Tampa Bay in 2012 and then was the secondary/safeties coach for the Buccaneers in 2013.

Meh.
Overall, he seems more aggressive than Barry, so I guess that is a plus.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
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 ?
I'll judge this one later.
None of us know this dude so it's silly to bash the heck out of him or pimp him.
Who knows.
Do we have any Boston College fans ? Guesssing plenty of NCAA coaches may try to move to NFL with all this NIL crap

Sounds like that was part of his reasoning.

Hafley's reasons for taking this coordinator job are rooted in both the overall state of college football and the opportunity to work for one of the NFL’s most respected franchises.
“He wants to go coach football again in a league that is all about football,” a source told ESPN. “College coaching has become fundraising, NIL and recruiting your own team and transfers. There’s no time to coach football anymore."
