...and? It feels like you think you have some sort of point here..

Yeah You can’t be a bum coach all your life and become an NFL head coach

 

You need to have success and be highly thought of

 

So when people call Hackett a bum it’s crazy because he’s better than 99.9% of football coaches in the world

 

Was he a bad nfl head coach? yea

 

But you need to be highly thought  of and have enough success to be an NFL head coach.. 1 of 32 in the world

 

There’s millions of coaches who never sniff the NFL

 

I have players and coaches backs.. I don’t diss coaches for no reason.. It’s a cutthroat job being an NFL coach

Ok...that's great he's better than high school and little league coaches. He's probably qualified to be a head coach at that level.

I played Coached and scouted For 30+ years

 

My MO is generally not to diss people in the game of football for no reason 

 

We’ve had tons of terrible coaches here and I gave them all the benefit of the doubt

 

I just stick up for coaches

I doubt they’ll get rid of Wilson with that contract of his. They’ll hire a coach who will give him at least one more season to see if it was Hackett holding him back, or if Wilson has truly lost it


Yeah, just read somewhere the Broncos would be on the hook for a $107M dead cap hit if they just cut Wilson.

If I'm reading it right his dead money hit is 107 million if they cut him after this season.  More knowledgeable capologists on here could tell us if that money can be spread out at all, but even so that is a LOT of money to be spending on someone not on the team.

I mean, it’s not just the money it’s the insane amount of draft picks they gave up they’re gonna have to stick with him

I mean, I can understand the logic of it. 

 

-Hackett was the OC for the top-10 Packers offense the last 2 seasons.

 

This has probably been mentioned but it always seemed to me that Hackett was the OC in name only.  From the outside looking in it appeared as though LaFleur was running the offense.  At least that's the way it sounded when Rodgers was talking.

Two Words: Aaron Rodgers.

 

 

 

Two more words, Paul Hackett.

Broncos players fighting on the sidelines was such a terrible look. They had to do it now.

 

And then the Randy Gregory fight after the game, swinging on the Rams player.

The most hilarious part of this is Rossburg is taking over at interim head coach. That’s the guy that Hackett hired to be his clock management coach 😆 

 

That 64 yard FG attempt really got Hackett off on the wrong foot. You're paying your new QB top salary and there's 45 seconds and 3 time outs and you're gonna run the clock down and attempt a 64 yard field goal? That was the first clear sign (aside from the constant delay of game penalties) that Hackett was in over his head. That moment was surreal and the Denver fans must have been horrified.

Did he really say that and if he did does to 716 still have his back?

 

Did you know the word gullible is not in the dictionary? 😀

 

Seriously, Russ Wilson was not set up for failure... he was allowed to bring in many of his people, calling and raising Tom Brady's Alex Guerrero.

 

From The Athletic: "They provided Wilson with his own office in the team facility, gave unfettered access to members of the quarterback’s personal team of coaches and trainers and handed Wilson a key role in the design and implementation of the offense he would run with his new team."

Right - I just started a topic on this (mods: feel free to merge). I was unaware of how deep the "entourage" thing went with Russell, right down to the personal on-site coach.

Culley should not have been fired. Team is worse without him.

 

Yea that made no sense if all you were going to do was replace him with Lovie. If you were going to go get your coach of the future, fine. But to replace one 1 year bridge coach with another was totally confusing.
