A diehard Green Bay Packers fan sent in his application for the team’s defensive coordinator position, and team president/CEO Mark Murphy even took the time to respond.
On X/Twitter, Dan McDermott said that his cousin Bill actually applied for the Packers’ defensive coordinator vacancy that opened up last month (h/t OutKick Sports). Murphy himself sent an awfully classy response to Bill:
“Bill, Thanks so much for your cover letter and resume regarding our Defensive Coordinator position. While your fantasy football experience is impressive, I regret to inform you that we have decided to go in a different direction. I hear the Bears have an opening – you look to be a perfect fit for them. Thanks again. Sincerely-Mark.”

At the NFL level, Hafley has also served as an assistant for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers. Before taking the BC job, Hafley was the co-defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach at Ohio State.
Before joining the Packers, the 53-year-old Barry was the Los Angeles Rams’ assistant head coach and linebackers coach from 2017 to 2020.
The Packers are coming off a surprise 9-win season and return to the postseason in year one of the post-Aaron Rodgers era. The thrilling ride continued with a giant upset win over the Dallas Cowboys on Super Wild Card Weekend.
Jordan Love and company gave the eventual NFC Champion San Francisco 49ers a giant scare in the Divisional Round, but Kyle Shanahan’s group just narrowly held on for a 24-21 victory.
