Packers' perfect Jeff Hafley replacement just fell into Matt LaFleur's lap

The Green Bay Packers need to ensure that they have some solid defensive coordinator targets lined up in their sights in the 2026 NFL offseason, as it seems increasingly likely that Jeff Hafley is going to leave town for a head coaching offer elsewhere.

As it stands right now, Green Bay would likely be better off trying to ensure that they land someone with past experience as a high-end playcaller rather than bringing in an assistant for their first-ever DC gig. Former Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris certainly fits the bill.

Despite the Falcons finishing the season hot, who ended with them narrowly missing the playoffs at 8-9 following a hot start, Morris and GM Terry Fontenot were fired as Atlanta cleaned house.
