The Green Bay Packers’ new defensive coordinator took to the podium with an energetic personality, displaying his passion for coaching defense and describing his aggressive approach. In that way, Jeff Hafley’s introductory press conference was a lot like Joe Barry’s three years ago, and we all know how that went.
Energy and passion were never an issue for Barry, and they won’t be for Hafley either. But the Packers are hoping that their new DC turns that attitude into success in ways that his predecessor did not.
Still, first impressions are at least worth something, and Hafley made a good one on Thursday.
