In Hafley’s two seasons in Green Bay, the defense blossomed into one of the league’s top units. The 2025 season, however, saw the offense struggle at times, placing more pressure on the defense as injuries mounted late in the year.
Hafley’s move to Miami includes bringing along Packers coaches Ryan Downard and Sean Duggan. Downard is expected to join the Dolphins as the secondary coach, while Duggan is viewed as a leading candidate to become Miami’s defensive coordinator, per reporting from The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The staff-wide exodus continues a pattern of Hafley recruiting Green Bay teammates as he builds out his Dolphins framework. With a full rebuild on the horizon in Miami, Hafley will be tasked with instilling a strong culture from the top down.
For Green Bay, the losses heighten the challenge of replacing key assistants. Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich has also drawn interest from other teams, recently interviewing for the Tennessee Titans’ offensive coordinator opening, though no decision had been announced.
LaFleur’s team must now navigate both coaching and roster adjustments this offseason, aiming to stabilize the operation while continuing to improve the roster ahead of the 2026 season.
Overall, the departures represent a significant shift for Green Bay and a rapid rebuild effort for Hafley in Miami, with further coaching moves likely to unfold in the coming days.
