Dolphins Hire Packers' Duggan as Defensive Coordinator; Packers and Seahawks Coaching Changes

The Miami Dolphins are set to hire Sean Duggan, former Green Bay Packers linebackers coach, as their new defensive coordinator. Duggan, only 32 years old, has a long-standing coaching relationship with Dolphins' head coach Jeff Hafley, having worked together at Ohio State, Boston College, and Green Bay. Duggan will be responsible for implementing Hafley's defensive scheme, with Hafley calling the plays. Duggan's playing background includes a notable college career at Boston College, where he was a team captain. This move follows the Dolphins' decision to move on from former defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, who missed out on head coaching opportunities this cycle. Weaver was in contention for the Arizona Cardinals head coaching job but was bypassed in favor of Mike LaFleur. As a result, the Dolphins will not receive the two third-round compensatory draft picks they might have expected. In related NFL coaching news, Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich is considered a potential candidate for the Seattle Seahawks' offensive coordinator position, with some speculation he may get a second chance there. Additionally, Mike LaFleur, brother of Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, is expected to be hired as the Arizona Cardinals' next head coach, marking another brother rivalry in NFL coaching ranks. The coaching carousel continues with the Jets hiring Brian Duker as their new defensive coordinator. Meanwhile, the Packers are preparing to replace Duggan with Sam Siefkes, and Stenavich's future remains uncertain as he seeks further opportunities.
