Jeff Hafley interviewed for the vacant head coaching position with the Atlanta Falcons, the team announced Thursday.
Hafley, 46, has spent the past two seasons as the defensive coordinator with the Green Bay Packers. He also served as the co-defensive coordinator/secondary coach at Ohio State in 2019 before spending 2020-23 as the head coach at Boston College.
Hafley was the seventh person to formally interview for the Falcons' position, joining former Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, ex-Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel and former Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, among others.
Multiple media outlets, however, reported Thursday that Harbaugh has agreed to terms to become the head coach of the New York Giants.
Atlanta also has completed head coach interviews with Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver and both Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and defensive coordinator Aden Durde.
The Falcons (8-9) finished in a three-way tie atop the NFC South this season. Owner Arthur Blank elected to fire head coach Raheem Morris after two seasons and GM Terry Fontenot after five seasons despite the team winning its final four games in 2025 after it had been eliminated from the postseason.
Former Falcons MVP quarterback Matt Ryan was hired as the team's new president of football on Saturday.
