He wasn't good enough for the NFL. He should head back to some small ball college where he'll still make great money to be a mediocre coach at that level. Guy will do just fine. Hella happy to see him off the Bills sideline... err, out of the booth.

I don't feel bad for him. He wasn't ready and he probably knew it--but he wasn't going to turn down the Bills job.

 

He busted out, but hey, we now have Spagnuolo's and April's offspring on the coaching staff.

 

He's now offically a retread--so he will get another job in the NFL, because that's how they mange their business.

I don't have any sympathy for Hackett. He made the choice to leave the band just before they started to achieve a widespread following. Who could have known that Collins, Rutherford and Banks would become so popular?

the only thing good i've ever heard anyone say about Hackett is that he's got a lot of enthusiasm.

 

he and marrone took Cuse to a .500 team with a very good college qb, which isn't really much of an accomplishment.

 

he lacked inventiveness and game calling skills (from my limited viewpoint on my couch).

 

 

get the guy into a college scenario where his skill of being enthusiastic can help recruit good high school players. he'll be more rewarded in a job like that by developing young players in the sport he loves. the NFL isn't where he belongs anyway. i'd go play for the guy if i was a high school standout.

Since he probably got the job as an OC in the NFL because of his name and his dad - I don't see Harvey Johnson Junior getting any coordinator jobs in his 30s - he could very likely get work for a couple years on the college level, or as a position coach, and then re-start his OC career in his 40s like most OC's. I don't really feel sorry for him. I think he needs to choose his friends better.

Id imagine that Hacketts and Marrones personal relationship is pretty strained by all that went down here. I dont feel bad for Nate, i wouldnt be surprised if he got another crack at coaching on an NFL team.
