Nathaniel Hackett - Approve or Disapprove

[nj meadowlands]

Do you approve or disapprove of Nathaniel Hackett as Jets offensive coordinator?

[ganggreen305]

He is better OC than coach.  Its all up to if we get Rodgers or not.

[Jets Things]

TBD. If he calls a draw on 3rd and 8 like his stupid father did, then I'll disapprove. 

[IndianaJet]

I approve...for now.  I reserve my right to disapprove at a later date.

His tenure in Denver was concerning but he's experienced and has called plays in the past for successful offenses.  Some people are better suited as coordinators then head coaches....just look at Bowles.

None of this means he won't be a failure down the road.

What you will not see me do is, two years from now if he turns into a bust, screaming at the top of my lungs (in internet message board speak) that this was a total disaster/mistake when the hire was made.

[FootballLove]

I approve.

Yes, if this means we land Aaron, then it's a slam dunk. 

But he's probably even a better choice if we DON'T land Aaron. In this case, we will need a top HC with tons of experience to navigate our offense w/o an MVP QB under center.

But anyways, I predicted we land Aaron even before this announcement.....but I don't have a crystal ball and only time will tell.

What the Billionaire owner of our squad wants, he gets. And he wants A-A-ron. We can only get so lucky.

[Irish Jet]

Only makes sense if a deal for Rodgers is lined up. I suspect it is.

[sciond]

His OC work has been solid

[Anthony Jet]

Was CS first choice

[Rexorcism]

If we dont get Rodgers, behead them all...

[mrcoops]

Not my preferred choice, but I don't hate it.  He is an experienced OC who has had success in the past.

If this is a precursor to landing Rodgers, the grade goes up.  Way up.

[bitonti]

he's not a good coach and neither was his pops 

disapprove

 

[Beerfish]

My whole thought on this situation was 'If you are going to fire LaFleur then you have to replace him with someone much better otherwise don't bother and stick with a young coach.  This is one of the guys in the not better category.  Terrible hire.

[Asymmetrical]

Totally uninspiring unless it's part of a Rodgers deal that's already been worked out. That said, the qb decision was always going to be the make or break part of this offseason.

[JetPotato]

Upgrade over LaFleur? Yes.

Guarantees Rodgers? No. Can't believe some of you believe this is a done deal.

Solution to our problem? No.

Saleh and company still on track to be canned by this time next year. Round and round we go. 

[extmenace]

I’m in the middle. Not exactly an exciting hire but we really need some experience on that side of the ball. I’ll like it more if we can get Rodgers for something that doesn’t cost more than a first and a conditional pick in 24’. If we don’t get Rodgers, I’m not a huge fan of the move.

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

Get used to this 

Mentally prepare yourself 

 

[Paradis]

Awful hire, sans Rodgers... but if that tips the scales, I'll allow it.

If you're drunk on optimism, maybe Rodgers has a Manning-Denver chapter left in his book. I'd buy that for a dollar. 

[nj meadowlands]

Pretty surprised by these results so far lol

[RedBeardedSavage]

Conditional based on Rodgers.

We get A-A-Ron? 

We cool, Hackett.

If not, I'm getting flashbacks of play-action dumps to Jerrald Sowell in the flat on 3rd and 7.

It's bait to attract Rodgers. If that doesn't happen....

HC no.  OC perhaps, but this puts him in line to replace Saleh when the inevitable occurs.  I do not want him as HC.

[Tranquilo]

I just don't think he'd come here without Rodgers

[CrazyCarl40]

It’s giving hiring Adam Gase vibes. Hard. 

[JetPotato]

LOL. "Adam Gase" is trending on Twitter as a direct result of this hire.

[peekskill68]

I'm good with it, but yeah, I'm biased that it's a pre-condition to getting Rodgers.  Everyone hating on the decision, I'm not sure who "the guy" is they want?  Most people were jacked with the Saleh hire two years ago.  And now?

[rillo]

Jets are going to give up the house for Rodgers, aren't they? 

Ugh.

Yes, of course it is. But if we don't get Aaron and have a lesser QB, then having an OC with 20 years experience could be invaluable. 

[JetsFanatic]

What’s good about Hackett is if he does a great job as OC we wont lose him, nobody will hire him as HC because he did a bad job with Denver

Or he is the 2nd coming of russel wilson which is more likely.   He showed the same degradation to his game last yer with the packers as wilson did in his last year with the seahawks.

Oh the narrative will be that the jets are instant superbowl contenders next year if they get rodgers by the national media but the natmedia are wrong most of the time.

[SoJetsy]

It’s the best chance at getting Rogers and if not he’s still probably the best option at OC kn the market right now.

[Rhg1084]

What other options were so great that we missed out on honestly? Hackett might’ve been the best guy available. So I’m gonna say good hire

No way, man

There‘s no way to really compare because there will be different QBs and different players

But in my eyes, Mike was at least respectable 

You listen to Hackett talk for 5s and realize he’s clueless and full of sh-t

The embarrassing pressers would be fine if he actually produced on-field (e.g. Sirianni) but instead it’s just a window into his idiotic thought world

[bd71]

Giving him the benefit of the doubt that he’s a better coordinator than head coach.  

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

People joke about this, but with stuff like this, the sense that the franchise is straight-up cursed only grows more and more pronounced

Hackett was Jim Tomsula and Ray Handley and Rich Kotite level bad as a HC

Its not exactly a high bar to clear
