Jets hire former Broncos' coach Nathaniel Hackett as offensive coordinator. via TroyRenck BroncosCountry
Thursday, the New York Jets hired former Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett as their offensive coordinator. Consider it rocket fuel for trade rumors that the Green Bay Packers will ship former MVP Aaron Rodgers to the Jets.
The underlying question was also there: Could he convince Rodgers to come to the Broncos? The Broncos insisted that Hackett's close relationship with Rodgers did not inspire the hiring. It was believable because no one could predict Rodgers' next move, and there was no guarantee the Packers would move on from, at that time, the back-to-back MVP.
While Hackett tried to make it work with Wilson, the coach's timing passing scheme from the pocket made the pairing a disaster. Neither was blameless as the Broncos offense lacked an identity — the Broncos abandoned the run for the most part — and was shamefully bad on third down and in the red zone.
Players liked Hackett because he emphasized chemistry, and made practices and meetings more engaging and fun. But it came without consequences in light of poor performances and lacking discipline.
