5 Wide Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Listening to Fred Jackson this morning, it seems that he just answered a question so many of us were wondering throughout the year, was the mundane, predictable playcalling more the fault of Hackett, or Marrone? WGR 550 @WGR550 4m4 minutes ago Jackson: Nate Hackett has always been an aggressive guy...he couldn't always do what he wanted to. Some of the stuff he wanted to call didn't get called in the game" This doesn't completely clear Hackett, but it shows who was really pulling the strings on offense.

Joaquin1119 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I would have to believe Fred Jackson. Marrrone wants to control everything. But I still want a new OC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Interesting. We probably owe Hackett a lot of apologies. It's a shame too-- he basically let marrone sink his reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Helps Hackett's case a bit, but still don't want him back. And I'd be interested to see if Marrone hires him for his new team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BmarvB Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 That pretty much confirms what we all suspected anyway. Marrone was holding back Hackett as well as the offense. I hope he gets a chance to really prove himself to be a competent OC even if it has to be somewhere else (other than the AFC East). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 good riddens to both of them. i couldn't bare to watch another season of this offense under their control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niagara Dude Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The first game against the Jets where we could have scored 60 points, they kept running and punting or kicking field goals.I always felt Marrone's reason for hiring a young coordinator with no experience was he wanted someone he could control (the guy is complete control freak).Still we need this area improved and perhaps Hackett can go and be Marrone's caddy at his new job.

5 Wide Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 I agree there is 0% chance Hackett is retained with the next staff, just a bit eye opening to see confirmation that our Whipping boy didn't deserve so many of the lashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC in St. Louis Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Marrone will try to bring Hackett along with him to New York, or to whichever team is dumb enough to attract his services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Marrone will try to bring Hackett along with him to New York, or to whichever team is dumb enough to attract his services. The question is will Hackett go with him knowing that he will probably be just his puppet? Not that this question will keep me from sleeping at night.

eball Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 According to Fred they all loved playing for Hackett -- absolutely sounds as though he (NH) was hamstrung by Marrone's conservatism. Fred made the statement that NH is "a guy that likes to go big or go home...I don't know if that was always his call (what did get called)." Pretty damning. I don't know why we wouldn't trust Fred on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Scheduled with Atlanta for today I give that about a 0% chance. I think Atlanta wants a guy who can get that team to the super bowl, not trying to get a bad team to be mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
