Chiefs backup quarterback Chad Henne believes the Jets landed someone who can turn things around for Gang Green.
Henne played under Hackett with the Jaguars from 2015-17. Hackett was first his quarterbacks coach then was named offensive coordinator in the middle of the 2016 season.
“Nathaniel and I are very close,” Henne said this week as he prepared for Super Bowl 2023 on Sunday against the Eagles. “I think he’s an unbelievable coach. He’s very similar to Coach [Andy] Reid in that he sees the game like the quarterback. He communicates to the quarterback. “Obviously, this year everyone is like, ‘Oh, Hackett’ because of what happened with the Broncos. But I don’t see it that way. I just feel like he’s got too much brainpower, too much love for the game, too much emotion that he’ll be back on his feet and lead the Jets to better places.”Chad Henne speaks to the media ahead of the Super Bowl.Hackett had his best season as a coordinator with the Jaguars in 2017.
“In Jacksonville, we wanted to establish the run,” Henne said. “I would say he’s a run-first guy. He wants to get the tone set on offense with the run game and build off of that with the pass game. He’s like what we do. We have different formations that we run. We’ll have a run, we’ll have a couple of passes off of it. Everything kind of meshes and looks the same. I love him. He’s one of the best I’ve been around.”“He has the ability to adjust,” Henne said.
