Marrone's offenses were never impressive, with Hackett as OC. Don't know if that is on Hackett or Marrone. We'll see how he works with LaFleur.

buffalover4life Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I watched the press conference where they introduced lafleur. 23 of the 27 minutes were from the CEO, mark murphy. looked as if he wanted to maintain as much power as possible. hiring someone who feels in over there head and will not demand any control of the 53 man roster. That said I'm interested in seeing what hacket can do with a elite QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND THEY CHOSE NATE HACKETT!!! The aren't even really words for this type of insanity. I am without speech. It really is mind boggling. His offenses have been brutal , I guess he had moderate success with Orton , but had Watkins/Woods/Goodwin too. it's really hard to justify this , downright strange to me they'd link him with an aging Aaron Rodgers.

Still, I wouldn't want Hackett's fingerprints anywhere near my offense. Would love if Hackett was calling plays just to see the look on Rodger's face when the call for the third consecutive dive play comes in from the sidelines. Forget "pulling a Davis" and retiring at halftime, he'd create a new term and "pull a Rodgers" and retire mid-drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to argue it was Hackett and not EJ - a lot. Took the shock of hearing from some Bills players that EJ could not learn the playbook and that the coaches had to keep dumbing everything down to reading half the field for me to leap off the bandwagon. We will see what he can do sans Marrone and shoddy QB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RememberTheRockpile Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 For what it's worth. After Hackett was fired the Jags scored a total of 48 points (5 games - 9.6 points/game). For the first 11 games while Hackett was OC the Jags averaged 17.9 points/game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hackett rehabilitated himself last year when he did a really nice job in Jax. This year while the offense regressed it got obviously a lot worse after Hackett was fired. I am not sure he is necessarily the creative offensive mind Green Bay talked about.... but I think he has improved on the guy he was here in Buffalo. You have to remember that before Marrone hired him to OC here his only NFL coaching experience was as a Quality Control and Assistant QB Coach. And we hired him as QB/OC. He was thrown in totally at the deep end and while he sunk rather than swimming I think he has learnt from the experience. Is Pettine still there? Re-creating the 2013 Bills staff?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 They are trying out the Lebron approach. You’re so good Aaron, we won’t hire anyone that will get it in your way. I’m interested to see the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 14 hours ago, Nikademus said: I think Marrone held Hackett back alot. Always wondered to what degree, but my assumption was it was a high one. I'm very curious to see how this goes. Either way we'll have an answer in the near future That is kind of my opinion. Hackett is West Coast, so the Packers offense won't be stuck with having to learn a lot of new terminology. In general, I think Marrone was a lot more conservative than Hackett. Also, Buffalo was Hackett's first pro gig, while in Jacksonvill, he was saddled with Blake Bortles as his QB. At the same time he had highly regarded running backs. It was a no brainer that the Jaguars were going to try and run the ball a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeane Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 14 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I gotta say, my first reaction to this news was "so this is how we waste the rest of Aaron Rodgers career" In defense of the move, I seem to recall that after Marrone left, some players claimed Hackett would draw up creative plays every week and put them in the game plan, and Marrone would never use them. But overall, my reaction was (to Green Bay): "Good Luck, Cupcake!" This was my thought as well. I remember Hackett brought some creative ideas to the Offensive game plan, and wanted to do some of that super hurry up no huddle offense that was all the rage. That didn't work because we didn't have the talent (mainly QB) to handle it and Marrone suggest to run run run. I kind of think if you separate the Hackett from the Moron, I mean Marrone, and he might have a better game plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 The buddy system in the nfl is awful. Hackett, who only had a job because his dad, should be coaching in college at best. He is terrible. There are probably hundreds of innovative coaches who will never get their shot because they don’t know the right people or daddy couldn’t help them. the worst part is he will do nothing but if Rodgers is Rodgers, he will get talked up. So dumb. 6 hours ago, Buffalo Barbarian said: They tried that here ,unfortunately ej was terrible. They screwed up any chance EJ had by giving him Nate Hackett as his OC and QB coach.

Chuck Wagon Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 You can make a lot of money in the coaching racket just by knowing the right guys at the right time.

buffaloboyinATL Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 There will come a time soon where Hackett will be discussed as one of the up and coming offensive minds in the game and he will be considered for Head Coaching vacancies.

Only if he stood in line behind McVay at Starbucks once seriously though - will there be any more coveted job than that of Zac Taylor’s once he goes to Cincy?
