Dolphins targeting Packers DC Jeff Hafley as next head coach

As there have been reports that the Miami Dolphins’ front-runner for its new head coach would be Jeff Hafley, the defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers, it looks like a deal is about to be made to make it official. After the Dolphins fired Mike McDaniel, the team went through a search for its next head coach under new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan, with Hafley standing out from the rest.

According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, Miami is “closing in on a deal” to hire Hafley.

“The Dolphins are closing in on a deal to hire Jeff Hafley as their head coach, sources tell The Insiders,” Pelissero wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Hafley, 46, impressed as the Packers’ defensive coordinator the past two seasons after a stint as Boston College HC. Now he reunites with GM Jon-Eric Sullivan in Miami.”
