GREEN BAY — Jeff Hafley already took his talents to South Beach. Now the ex-Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator and new Miami Dolphins head coach is taking at least two of his Packers assistants with him.

Defensive backs coach Ryan Downard and linebackers coach Sean Duggan, both of whom have long histories with Hafley, are joining him in Miami, an NFL source confirmed Monday evening.

KPRC-TV, the NBC affiliate in Houston, first reported Downard’s departure. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was first to report Duggan leaving.

Downard and Duggan moving on means Packers head coach Matt LaFleur and new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, whose hiring has not yet been officially announced by the team, will have at least two staff spots to fill moving forward.

Duggan followed Hafley to Green Bay after working for him at Ohio State in 2019, when Hafley was the Buckeyes’ co-defensive coordinator and Duggan was a graduate assistant, and at Boston College from 2020 through 2023 when Hafley was the Eagles’ head coach and Duggan was the linebackers coach (and co-defensive coordinator in 2023).

Downard actually got his start with the Packers as a defensive quality control coach in 2018 under then-head coach Mike McCarthy. LaFleur retained him in 2019, first as assistant defensive backs coach, then safeties coach and finally as defensive backs coach, including the last two years with Hafley.

But Downard first worked with Hafley in 2014 and 2015 with the Cleveland Browns, where Hafley was the defensive backs coach and Downard was an assistant, coaching in the NFL for the first time.

Meanwhile, Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich was set to interview for the Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator job on Monday.

The Titans hired ex-New York Jets head coach and ex-San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh as their head coach last week. As a defensive-minded head coach, Saleh is looking for an offensive coordinator who can call the offense’s plays.

That would be a promotion for Stenavich, who doesn’t call plays under LaFleur. Stenavich worked with Saleh with the 49ers before joining LaFleur’s inaugural staff in Green Bay in 2019 as the offensive line coach. He was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2022 when then-coordinator Nathaniel Hackett left to become the Denver Broncos head coach.

The Titans were also reportedly set to interview Kliff Kingsbury for the job.
