Jeff Hafley has been busy assembling his coaching staff with the latest news reporting he will retain two defensive assistants that were on staff with the Miami Dolphins last year. Linebackers coach Joe Barry will be sticking around and funny enough, Barry was replaced by Hafley when the Green Bay Packers decided to make a change at defensive coordinator. Defensive line coach Austin Clark will also be staying put as he has done a fabulous job with the d-line since joining in 2021.
