Former Boston College Head Coach Jeff Hafley Requested to Interview for NFL Job, The Rundown: January 17, 2025

With the college football coaching carousel all but wrapped up, the NFL carousel is just beginning to turn, and a former Boston College head coach is squarely in the mix for one of the league's most intriguing positions.
Former Eagles head coach Jeff Hafley has been requested to interview for the vacant head coach position of the New York Jets. Hafley, who hails from Montvale, New Jersey, coached at Boston College from 2020-23.
Per source, the Jets have requested to interview Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley for their HC job. The Jersey native has four years of head coaching experience, at Boston College (2020-23), and led a Top 5 unit this year.

Looks like that one happens end of this week.
Hafley spent this past season as the defensive coordinator of the Green Bay Packers, where his unit had marked success. Hafley's teams at Boston College were invited to three different bowl games, but withdrew from two of them due to concerns or restrictions regarding COVID-19.
Hafley's short tenure at Ohio State, followed by his four-year run at Boston College, served as his lone soiree into the collegiate coaching ranks after establishing himself as a reliable NFL name.
Now, onto the headlines.
