Dolphins Hire Hafley: A Smart, Player-First Defensive Mind
Miami Dolphins owner's choice: they hired Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley as the 12th head coach. Though not a household name, Hafley is praised for his smart, communicative leadership and for helping Green Bay field a top-five defense in 2024; Dolphins coverage notes he had two additional in-person interview opportunities with other teams and brings Boston College head-coaching experience, suggesting the hire could be a strong, forward-looking fit despite no NFL head-coaching track record.
