Hey y’all, bear in mind when the Broncos had been thought-about favorites to land Aaron Rodgers as a result of Nathaniel Hackett grew to become the pinnacle coach in Denver?
Bear in mind the photoshops?
Bear in mind the random Aaron Rodgers quotes about Hackett?
Yeah, so that really by no means occurred. Denver traded for Russell Wilson and Rodgers re-upped with the Packers forward of final season. The Broncos went by way of some of the dysfunctional, offensively inept seasons the NFL has seen (folks had been monitoring Wilson’s passing TDs as a comparability to the quantity of bogs he had in his home!). Hackett was the topic of a number of questions concerning the offense and clock administration, to the purpose the place he employed a clock administration man who ended up changing him when he was finally fired.
Oh yeah, and the Broncos’ high 5 first spherical decide as a result of tire fireplace that was the 2022 season really belongs to the Seahawks due to the Wilson commerce.
So, if a staff is in search of a brand new offensive coordinator, naturally the selection is Hackett, proper?
Nicely should you’re the New York Jets then completely.
The #Jets are hiring former #Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett as their offensive coordinator, per sources.
Hackett beforehand referred to as performs in Buffalo and Jacksonville, the place he labored with Robert Saleh, and was extensively revered throughout his tenure as Inexperienced Bay’s OC. A giant rent. pic.twitter.com/XfP2LtNuYz

The Jets are hiring Nathaniel Hackett and citing his outcomes with offensive powerhouses just like the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Payments pre-Josh Allen, and his work in Inexperienced Bay, the place he didn’t name performs.
Yeah, that work that he did in Jacksonville and Buffalo?
Offensive DVOA underneath Hackett a OC, pre-GB (fastened one yr):
BUF 13-14: twenty fifth
JAX 16-17 (promoted midseason): twenty seventh
JAX 17-18: fifteenth
JAX 18 (fired in November): thirtieth https://t.co/Qgt4mi76Bu— Mina Kimes (@minakimes) January 26, 2023
Not precisely a glowing assessment.
Everyone knows why that is occurring. That is all for the proper to perhaps get Aaron Rodgers to return play in your staff. Rodgers looks like he’s on the outs with the Packers, particularly with the best way the season ended, however you may’t depend out Rodgers returning to Inexperienced Bay. Hackett appears to be cool with Aaron Rodgers, so perhaps THIS time it’ll work for this franchise, proper?
The photoshops are already on the market:
Everyone seems to be connecting the dots:
The Jets doing all of this for 39 yr previous Aaron Rodgers is a degree of thirst I didn’t suppose doable, the simping is palpable

Which means it has to occur, proper?
That is going to be a wild NFL offseason, and the hypothesis is simply getting began.
