Jeff Hafley left the San Francisco 49ers for a promotion a month ago, becoming co-defensive coordinator at Ohio State. One month later, he may have been up for another one via defensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Per Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport, the Bengals wanted to interview Hafley for their open defensive coordinator position, but Hafley declined. The reason was because Hafley didn’t want to renege on his commitment to the Buckeyes.
This is interesting for a couple of reasons. The obvious one is that another San Francisco 49ers coach is going places.
