January 19, 2026
The Miami Dolphins and Jeff Hafley have reached an agreement to make the former Boston College head coach and Packers defensive coordinator their coach. A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press about the agreement on Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity because a contract hadn’t been finalized. Hafley replaces Mike McDaniel, who was fired after going 35-33 in four seasons. The Dolphins also fired longtime general manager Chris Grier during the season. Hafley spent two seasons in Green Bay. He met with the Dolphins for a second interview earlier Monday before he was offered the job.
