The New York Jets requested to interview Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley for their open head coaching job, per Albert Breer of MMQB.
This will be Hafley’s first head coaching interview. Breer believes the interview will take place at some point near the end of this week.
The Jets fired Robert Saleh — who eventually came to Green Bay in a consulting role — after a 2-3 start and finished 5-12. The organization is now going through an exhaustive interview process to find the next head coach.
Hafley, 45, just finished his first season as Matt LaFleur’s defensive coordinator in Green Bay.
