The Miami Dolphins and Jeff Hafley have reached an agreement to make the former
Boston College head coach and Packers defensive coordinator their coach, a
person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Monday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because a contract hadn't been
finalized.
Hafley replaces Mike McDaniel, who was fired after going 35-33 in four seasons.
The Dolphins also fired longtime general manager Chris Grier during the season.
Hafley, who spent two seasons in Green Bay, met with the Dolphins for a second
interview earlier Monday before he was offered the job. He will rejoin new GM
Jon-Eric Sullivan in Miami.
The 46-year-old Hafley left his job at Boston College in 2024 to become
defensive coordinator in Green Bay, where he worked with Sullivan for the past
two seasons.
Sullivan, formerly Green Bay's vice president of player personnel, spent 22
seasons with the Packers before becoming the Dolphins' GM.
