The Miami Dolphins have officially secured a new head coach, reaching an agreement with Jeff Hafley, the former head coach at Boston College and defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers. This decision was confirmed by a source familiar with the situation and reported by the Associated Press on Monday.
Hafley is stepping in to replace Mike McDaniel, who was let go after a four-year tenure that resulted in a 35-33 record. Additionally, the Dolphins parted ways with long-time general manager Chris Grier during the 2023 season, signaling a significant shift in the team”s leadership.
In his recent role as defensive coordinator in Green Bay, Hafley worked closely with the Dolphins” newly appointed general manager, Jon-Eric Sullivan, for the past two seasons. Hafley had a second interview with the Dolphins earlier on Monday, which ultimately led to the formal job offer.
The 46-year-old coach left his position at Boston College in 2024 to join the Packers. His return to Miami marks a pivotal moment in his career as he aims to revitalize the Dolphins and lead them to success in the upcoming seasons.
As the Dolphins look to turn a new chapter under Hafley”s leadership, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how his strategies and insights will reshape the team”s future.
