The Packers defense improved greatly under Jeff Hafley as the year went on, despite playing mostly without Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander.

The team has requested an interview with Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley for their head coach opening, a source confirmed. Hafley, 45, has only been with Green Bay for a year. He spent the previous four years as the head coach at Boston College. He went 22-26 there. Hafley is a Montville, N.J., native.

Hafley isn’t the first Packers coordinator to receive interest from other teams, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported earlier this week that offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich interviewed to be the next head coach of the Chicago Bears, though it’s believed Chicago will go with a more experienced head coach when they make their final decision.

I think both those guys are more than capable, just in the fact that they’re looked at in that light,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said.
