Overview
- Jeff Hafley told Matt LaFleur that Sean Duggan would join him in Miami, even after LaFleur expressed a desire to retain the Packers linebackers coach.
- Hafley publicly called the 32-year-old Duggan a rising star and said the hire will let him manage the whole team while reserving the option to call the defense.
- Duggan’s promotion follows years working with Hafley, including roles at Boston College and a stint as a graduate assistant at Ohio State.
- Yahoo Sports noted that Green Bay could not prevent Duggan from taking a coordinator job in Miami, though the team theoretically could have blocked some lateral moves for other assistants.
- With Hafley gone, the Packers restructured their defensive staff under Jonathan Gannon, adding Bobby Babich, Daniel Bullocks and Sam Siefkes, while DeMarcus Covington remained.
