Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley will interview with New York Jets for head-coach position

GREEN BAY – Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley will interview with the New York Jets, a source confirmed Wednesday.

Hafley took over the Packers defense this year after four years as the head coach at Boston College and guided it to its best statistical finish since the Super Bowl year in 2010. The defense improved from No. 17 in coordinator Joe Barry’s last season to No. 5 this year.

When coach Matt LaFleur hired Hafley, he knew that it was likely Hafley would draw interest for head-coaching jobs in the NFL, but he didn’t know how quickly.
