GREEN BAY, Wis. -- There were two overriding themes to the questions Jeff Hafley faced Thursday when he was formally introduced as the Green Bay Packers' new defensive coordinator: Why would he leave a head-coaching job at Boston College to be an NFL assistant and can his defensive scheme work in the pro game after spending the past five seasons in the college game?
Hafley was happy to expound on both topics during a nearly 30-minute session with reporters at Lambeau Field.
The 44-year-old was Boston College's head coach from 2020 to 2023 after spending 2019 as Ohio State's co-defensive coordinator.
