Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley is moving to football's highest level for a lower position.
Hafley, who has led the Eagles the past four seasons, is expected to leave the school to become the defensive coordinator of the Green Bay Packers, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel.
The Packers job was open after the firing of the much-maligned Joe Barry, whose defenses ranked 27th in DVOA this season and 25th last season, despite the team's spending four straight first-round picks on that side of the ball. The roster isn't without talent, having gone 9-8 in the regular season and soundly defeated the Dallas Cowboys in the wild-card round, but there was clearly room for improvement.
