How did Nathaniel Hackett fail so quickly with the Broncos? A look back at a rough season

It's rare to be one-and-done as an NFL head coach.

Nathaniel Hackett is just the fifth coach since the 1970 NFL merger to not make it through one season. He was fired by the Denver Broncos on Monday after a 4-11 start. The other four,: Lou Holtz of the New York Jets in 1976, Peter McCulley of the San Francisco 49ers in 1978, Bobby Petrino of the Atlanta Falcons in 2007 and Urban Meyer of the Jacksonville Jaguars last season.

Over the offseason, the excitement would grow with a blockbuster trade for Russell Wilson. Unlike Urban Meyer, who made missteps from, there was nothing but optimism going into preseason for Hackett and the Broncos. "I have confidence in [McManus]," Hackett said after the game."If we have to put him in that situation again, I think he'll be able to make it."
