Former Packers vice president of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan, who was hired as Miami's GM 10 days ago, makes his first huge move with the organization by hiring Hafley. The pair will try to turn around a franchise that hasn't won a playoff game in 25 seasons, the longest streak in the NFL.
Watch: Dolphins hire Jeff Hafley as head coach:
In his two years with the Green & Gold Hafley's defense shined, finishing in the top 12 in points and yards allowed in both seasons.
Packers star Micah Parsons weighed on the Hafley news on social media:
