Matt LaFleur has hired a new defensive coordinator. Not from the list that Packer pundits have been tossing around for weeks. Not a current NFL coach. Jeff Hafley has been a college coach for four years.
He has not been in the NFL since 2018 and his defensive coaching experience in the NFL was as a secondary coach for three different teams, Tampa Bay, Cleveland and San Francisco. He has six years of NFL coaching experience. LaFleur did go outside his comfort zone and picked a coach outside of his coaching tree with no L.A. Ram background.
A New Direction for the Packer Defense
In fact, Hafley has coached a 4-3 defense for four of his six years in the NFL.
