Jeff’s entire person just screams “coach”. I am so excited to see what he’s got for this defense. A breath of fresh air to say the least. I went from “Who?” To “Let’s freaking go!” after learning about Jeff Hafley.

[@user-uy3tm9ee5l]

Don't forget about the staff. Campanile and Ansley are studs

[@Jayare505]

Absolutely seems to get it, be a leader, and a head coach type. We better enjoy him for the 2-3 years before he gets promoted in the NFL. Very impressive personality and presence.

[@wiemkenjoshua2785]

He’ll help in this upcoming draft as well!

[@jtb5867]

Exactly my thoughts. Very charismatic and speaks extremely clearly. I was impressed after just the opening statement. I cannot wait to see whats in store this year@@Jayare505

[@user-dy8vl1sh3b]

He seems like exactly what we needed! Love the hire, we will see what it translates too!

[@paulhenry322]

This guy gets it. He showed right in the interview why he was chosen. Lots of experience at various levels, knows what success looks like, family man with great understanding of complex situations. I'm ready to run through a wall for this guy.

[@billmay7364]

Watch out for the Packers !!! I like the Coaches Energy . I can see why Matt hired him. Jeff welcome to PACKER NATION . It's Time the Lombardi Trophy Comes Back Home. Packer Nation Got You !!!

[@terigiese1322]

Green Bay is literally one of the greatest cities for football!The fans absolutely LOVE the Packers and football!Welcome!👏🏻👏🏻

[@FunFootballPod]

Agreed!!!!

[@johnha6531]

yes!!! greenbay, and the whole of Wisconsin, the best football fans in the world!!!

[@RyJsLn]

What a first impression, this dude is a leader.

[@ZackaryLockhart]

I love how he's already saying "when our season ended" referring to last years packer team. :)

[@brianhomka290]

..."with their hair on fire"...I love this guy already!

[@BlessedDelight1]

lol that was a classic line

[@notoliver1674]

Get this guy on a mic every week!

[@KingInTraining]

It just feels like this dude should be a head coach, glad to have him at DC

[@MrKhankab]

He litteraly just was a HC. 😂 But I get ya. He might not be DC for long if he proves he can turn our defense into a SB caliber one

[@KingInTraining]

@@MrKhankab I’m hoping he stays in love with just coaching defense, it was one of the main reason he left head coaching in college. More hands on, less politicking

[@whatspackin]

Well that's how you get the best opportunity. Best case scenario, he makes a huge difference, gets this unit to perform at thier maximum potential, like a top 5 unit that shows up reg and post season when it counts, and win a few SBs, then he gets a chance leaves, if he wants. If you have a special thing going maybe he stays 5,6,7,8 years and win a few SBs, and then of course other trams will come calling.

[@KyleK2098]

Definitely not the same old passive Pettine or Barry. You can tell this guy is here to shake things up and to get things done

[@Mr.Buckets69]

Humble, real, and I’m fired up about it

[@jtb5867]

Extremely charismatic too. Something i think the players will look up to. LETS FKIN GO PACK

[@lpspinners8736]

I am JACKED UP over Jeff Hafley as our new Defensive Coordinator and the coaching changes that the Green Bay Packers are making!! GO-PACK-GO!!!!

[@droppedyogurt]

LET'S DO THIS!!! Man this guy is impressive. Alot of his former players sing his praises. SO pumped for next season

[@Jimb151]

Indeed he is impressive as a person & coach… like his energy, intelligence, humility, and intensity!! A special person

[@whenthemaskfalls8591]

It's sad that so many are impressed by coach speak at a press conference. He doesn't deserve any praise until his defense earns it on the field.

[@Xxbwachamp445xX]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@whenthemaskfalls8591No, what’s impressive is how many former players and coaches have respect for him and give him praise, that doesn’t just happen for no reason. Go listen to Richard Sherman talk about Jeff Hafley. Just because he hasn’t shown any results with this current team that doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve people singing his praises

[@johanstinson]

The fact that Richard Sherman pumps hi tires is big for me. That dude doesn't throw out praise lightly.

[@santiago77920]

Boy this guy just excites you, It's like let's go right now. This guy is a Coach, Coach, Coach. No "Were going to take this one game at a time" No coach speak. He sounds authentic.

[@jtb5867]

Exactly what I was impressed by. He didnt use any filler words at any point whatsoever. Clear, conscise, and charismatic dude.

[@davidfarrow9208]

Do I want energy? Absolutely! I want to be demanding but not demeaning. This dude is going to change the culture of how defense is played in Green Bay and I can't wait 👍👍

[@heezymane340]

he's like the defensive version of Matt. I like his energy

[@wentaGT]

No matter what to defense this year, I'm happy to have Halfley. I will say I'm worried that we lose him to a HC position. Give us a few years please Halfley...best of luck this year!

[@johanstinson]

He'll be here for at least 3 years

[@BlessedDelight1]

“Exotic” love the mindset!!

[@the4utomatik]

Love Hafley's passion. Passion in your craft is contagious. Can't wait for next season.

[@thomashall3026]

I love what he’s saying. First time in 15 years I’ve actually felt confident about our defense going forward.

[@cadendecker7894]

Especially after this draft!

[@cadendecker7894]

We are so stacked

[@Majorshadow47]

We are going to have the scariest defense ever this season

[@packersfaninvegas]

He exudes confidence this guy gets it knows what he wants and knows that it takes coaching talent more then actual talent on the field! Mark my words he will help Matt win a SB🏆

[@cs692]

.... several Super Bowls!!

[@Majorshadow47]

The future of this packers team are in great hands

[@DuhBirdBrain]

I gotta feeling Jeff Hafley's going to be that DC who a lot of us Packers fans have been wishing for.... One who makes adjustments in-game, drive by drive. Another exciting chapter to look forward to, Go Pack Go!

[@jacksoncox3259]

Sold in the first 5 min. Breath of fresh air, go pack go !!!

Love this guy already. His energy is much better then past coordinators.

[@jakelundy9614]

we’re literally getting a MLF caliber coach on defense this is awesome

[@darryljohnson879]

Can't wait for your family to meet us fans, We know its hard to move but greenbay is a great place. An we're a packers family and y'all are one of us now. 🧀GPG🧀

[@usesumlogicmanlogicman4334]

I can't help but be very impressed. His honesty stood out, and the players will gravitate to him. Let's go, coach!

[@Composure1992]

I truly believe this guy could come in and run one of the fastest and youngest defenses in a Tampa 2 like it was originally ran. Likely even better.

[@Von.Cannon]

It’s about time the for the Packers to have a great defense again. This is the guy

[@jtb5867]

I agree. Extremely impressed with everything he said in this 30 minute video

[@qaxcgyujm]

Besides 2010 they haven't had a great defense since Reggie left.

[@Cold-Blooded29]

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEW DEFENSIVE APPROACH

[@timmammel1232]

Aggression, accountability, finishers …. Love it

[@nickelliott3138]

Something tells me this guy is on the field during the game. No press box bs. Be a leader. Be with your team. Bring some passion and some energy. This guy will be electric! Turn up Cheese Heads!

Your not lying , wow best interview iv seen , let’s just enjoy this Matt and Jeff dynamic duo now if we can get our hand ok copper dejean is over !!!!!!

Listening to him talk for 20 minutes is already a breath of fresh air compared to the past three years of Joe Barry. This guy will be a head coach in the league.

Absolutely love the confidence he has and the Packers should be very successful on Defense. But they better win quickly because he may get a HC offer sooner than later.

[@raybrean9889]

I love Jeff Halfley’s mentality and passion for this entire team. I think he will take our defense to the next level. I look forward to seeing Lucas Van Ness, Quay Walker, Darnell Savage, Balline Vallentine, Jaire Alexander, Rashan Gary, Kenny Clark, and Preston Smith all going to the next level with this new 4-3 style of defense. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛

Green Bay has always cherished their football history and demand excellence. Jeff seems to be a great coach, and understands his job in and out. I believe he wants to really get to know the players and their families. I can't wait to see our defense to be on fire this upcoming season, and put less pressure on our offense. Welcome to Green Bay. Can't wait for a defense player to get an interception and run it for a touchdown and do "The Leep". GO PACK GO!

As a Packer fan, I'm excited to see what he as well as the new LB coach bring. They just scream aggression.

[@andruwpaden]

Hafley does a really great job in specializing in DBs, he always makes sure that the details matter. I am pretty sure Hafley left Boston College to be a D.C for Green Bay because of NIL and how it is destroying college football. Hafley really wanted to just coach and develop players like how a normal coach would not be a College GM B.S with NIL happening. I like this hire and I am thrilled that he is our D.C!!!!
