These are all the years he was an OC or HC.

^ linked to roster of each team above

  • 5 of 9 years with bottom 10 dvoa
  • 3 of 9 years with top 10 dvoa - all with Aaron Rodgers
  • even split of top 10, bottom 10, middle of the pack ppg & ypg 
  • 2018 Packers were 7th in dvoa, 12th in ypg, 14th in ppg

Seems like a guy you can trust to steer the ship and maybe even elevate a good offensive roster w/a good QB but probably isn't going to elevate an average or below average roster w/avg -> below avg qb.

Hopefully the broncos debacle had more to do with him being clueless as a head coach.

Jags QB 2016,17 and 18 was Blake Bortles.  

Bills QBs in 2013/14 were EJ Manuel and Kyle Orton.

Maybe he needs Aaron Rodgers to succeed or maybe he just needs a QB that isn't absolute garbage.

It’s a bad hire

1) That’s as an HC, not an OC.

2) The Broncos only played 2 games without him, and not exactly against a murderer’s row of defenses. Chiefs always play in shootouts and Chargers are mediocre. That’s not a great metric as it compares 15 games to 2

Blake Bortles and the Jags went to an AFC Championship game with Hackett as the OC. Yeah having Aaron Rodgers would be great, but I am not judging him for his Broncos disaster. That wasn’t all him. Russell Wilson is terrible. And he isn’t coming here to run the team. Don’t downplay the Keith Carter hire. Two experienced offensive coaches. Imagine.

That's actually a pretty interesting point. He could have taken time off, and still collected a hefty sum. Instead he signed for a position that isn't exactly the apple of most's eye. For the first time in a long time the Jets have talent on offense, but are uncertain at QB, and in the end it's still the Jets until they earn / deserve a better rep as a team / org.

I don’t even love the Hackett hire without Rodgers being a guarantee but, having said that, I’m not ignorant enough to ignore the fact that being a HC, with all the extra responsibilities, is massive different between being a coordinator focused on one single objective.  

Also, that “surge” is heavily skewed by the small sample size.  The Broncos played the Chiefs two weeks before he was fired and dropped 28 points, 4 more points than they did in the game post-firing.  The last game of the year the Chargers kinda half-assed it, even though they sorta-kinda played their starters for a lot of the game, because they had absolutely nothing to play for, but didn’t want to rest anyone.  Season long issues never fall one person, and they are never fixed by firing one person.

that’s a flashy editorial narrative that Connor has going, and there very well may be some reasonable common sense to it… But it doesn’t check out as bulletproof. You don’t stay relevant forever in this business. For some there’s a very short window to maximize your income. Yes you want to make smart choices about where you work and who you work with, but after going down in flames in Denver, the opportunity to pocket a fat seven-figure salary again (double your income) is not something you shrug off flippantly in the manner that Connor is suggesting. Any financial advisor would say take the money while it’s being offered

He’s also very close to Saleh and Matt LaFleur. Probably took the job because nobody else wanted it and he felt bad for his friend.

Except, that's not how NFL coaching Contracts generally work. 

Hackett isn't making any more, or less money, by taking the Jets job. Any money  he makes from the Jets just reduces the amount the Broncos have to pay him. So if he was set to get 4 million from the Broncos this year and the Jets give him 1 million a year, the Broncos only have to give him 3 million a year. https://www.outkick.com/broncos-fire-coach-nathaniel-hackett/ From the Article "Hackett signed a four-year deal with the Broncos in January and will be paid the entire contract if he doesn’t land another job. If he returns to the NFL in another capacity, he’ll get paid for that work from his new employer and the Broncos will make up the difference to pay his head coach salary.

So he is literally making zero dollars and zero cents to work for the Jets this year when he could have, ala Kliff Kingsbury, just moved to Thailand and collected a monster contract for a year or two without having to work. 

So we go back to motivation. What is his motivation to sign with the Jets if it isn't the money?  I assume to prove that he is still a good OC. Well, do you risk that without some assurances that the Team will sign/trade for a really good QB? It would be idiotic to to do so if your QBs are Zach Wilson, Mike White and Jacoby Brissett. He'd be better off using the next 3 years to find a softer landing spot than the Jets.
