Beck Water Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I gotta find the rest of this interview and listen ššæ Ā Ā Quote āThereās so much dirt around that. Thereās 20 dirty hands, for what was allowed, tolerated in the fricking training rooms, the meeting rooms. The offense. I donāt know Hackett. A lot of people had dirt on their hands. It wasnāt just Russell. He didnāt just flip. He still has it. This B.S. that he hit a wall? Shoot, they couldnāt get a play in. They were 29th in the league in pre-snap penalties on both sides of the ball.ā Ā āIt doesnāt happen often where an NFL team or organization gets embarrassed,ā Payton said. āAnd that happened here. Part of it was their own fault, relative to spending so much (expletive) time trying to win the offseason ā the PR, the pomp and circumstance, marching people around and all this stuff. Weāre not doing any of that.ā Ā āIt might have been one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL. Thatās how bad it was.ā Ā Wow.Ā Just....Wow.Ā I guess when you're Sean Payton, you aren't too worried about burning bridges in the "small world" of the NFL. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Wowsers!Ā Thanks for sharing.Ā It must have been a train wreck for the organization to be okay with Payton saying these things.Ā His comments seem to go further than the coaching staff.

Fan in Chicago Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Talk about being candid and open!Ā Of course Hackett has to be blamed but someone in that organization interviewed him, looked at his track record and still thought he is worthy of being a HC. I also blame the idiots who hired him into that positionĀ Edited July 27, 2023 by Fan in Chicago 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjt328 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 The Bills had some REALLY bad offensive coordinators during the drought. But there was just something about Nate Hackett that was especially awful. Ā Not sure I could even put my finger on it, but I must say I was floored when the Broncos hired him last year.Ā 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build him back up. But that felt like some bridge burning there, and you never know when how or when that might affect you in some way. That did not feel professional, IMO.Ā Ā Ā .

78thealltimegreat Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 The running CJ Spiller till he throws up deal was an all timer.

Richard Noggin Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Destroying Hackett as a HC last season is entirely justified. He was COMPLETELY unprepared for the scope of the job. For the layers of details and logistics and planning and organization. As suggested by Payton, the Broncos struggled just to RUN a professional NFL offense play-to-play, making substitutions and getting play calls delivered down the chain in time for the players to diagnose and execute (or even snap the ball at all). Early in the season, especially, it seemed almost unprecedentedly dysfunctional.Ā Ā That being said, there are MANY quality NFL coordinators who failed as head coaches. So it's still possible Hackett can be successful letting Aaron Rodgers run his GB offense in New Jersey. Might even be the best hire the Jets could have made at OC, with Rodgers aboard. Out with the LaFleur system (that Rodgers excelled in but didn't always love) and in with the overt Aaron Rodgers system (not hugely different, schematically, to be honest).Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
