Green Bay Packers defensive passing game coordinator Derrick Ansley interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons for their open defensive coordinator job, the team announced Thursday. Ansley is the Falcons' fourth interview for the job.
Jeff Hafley, New York Jets and Green Bay Packers
After leading the Green Bay Packers to a top-10 defense this season, Jeff Hafley is going to interview for the New York Jets' vacant head-coaching
The New York Jets interviewed Green Bay Packers assistant general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and Miami Dolphins executive Brian Gaine for their general manager vacancy.
Hafley isn’t the first Packers coordinator to receive interest from other teams, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported earlier this week that offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich interviewed to be the next head coach of the Chicago Bears, though it’s believed Chicago will go with a more experienced head coach when they make their final decision.
The Atlanta Falcons have now interviewed four coaches for their defensive coordinator vacancy. The team met with Green Bay Packers pass-game coordinator Derrick Ansley in the second of two interviews on Thursday afternoon.
The Atlanta Falcons have interviewed former Cincinnati Bengals assistant Lou Anarumo and Green Bay Packers passing game coordinator Derrick Ansley.
The trio increased the list to 15 coaching candidates to meet with the Jets, who have also conducted 15 interviews for their general manager job.
Jeff Halfley is being considered for a head coaching role, but one of his defensive units is going to undergo a leadership change too.
The New York Jets' search for a new head coach continues, with reports linking them to a former Boston College head coach.
The Jets formally interviewed Ulbrich for their opening. Ulbrich was thrown into the role of interim head coach on Oct. 8 after Robert Saleh was fired. The Jets went 3-9 under Ulbrich and finished 5-12 overall. Ulbrich is very popular among the players and in the Jets’ building, but he is considered a long shot to keep the job.
Brian Flores, 43, is maybe the most fascinating candidate interviewed so far. He has previous head coaching experience after his three-year stint with the Dolphins (2019-21).
