Nathaniel Hackett is coaching D!

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Looks like the packers think he can help their defense as a coach.

 

I do know as an offensive coordinator, he was really good at helping the opposing teams’ defenses.  So I think they are onto something!

Wasn’t he on their staff when A-A-Ron was there?

Makes sense. He certainly demonstrated in his time with the Jets that he knows how to shut down an offense.

It's official.  Green Bay has become the 'Kruger Industrial Smoothing' of the NFL, and they've hired their Costanza.

The coaching in the NFL is so incestious it is rediculous.  

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

I mean he certainly knows how to make a defense look good: coach offense for their opponents

 

Alternately: Good for him. Running a defense is something he's never done before but the same could be said about running an offense

They’ve done this before…. Hire a former O or D coordinator to work with the opposing side and help prep the unit while assisting with the scout team they’re going against. It’s not the worst idea if ownership has the cash. Plus, LaFluer gives buddies - like Salah - soft landings.

[Yobogoya!]

He knows a thing or two about how to generate interceptions. So that’s a plus. 

[Walking Tall]

Imagine if he’s successful?

I guess we meet Green Bay in the Superbowl 

[JJGauna]

Apparently he can hack it.

[The Cincinnati Kid]

Why did the Packers hire Nathaniel Hackett to run the defense?

Because after watching his offenses in Denver and New York, they realized he’s great at making sure no one scores. 🔥

Wisecracks aside (& I enjoy reading them) this actually makes sense. Who knows how offenses exploit defenses better than an offensive coordinator. He may even have inside info on how other O coordinators think.

 

The proof of the pudding.....

Hackett is a living reason for why we have the Rooney Rule. This guy has had maybe 1-2 successful seasons in the near 20 years he’s been in the NFL, yet he keeps getting jobs.

honestly, if the NFL had a “no nepotism” rule, then they probably wouldn’t need a Rooney Rule. Hackett basically has a job because his dad was Paul Hackett. 
 

guys like steve belichick, Bobby April Jr., Kyle Shannan, Sean mcvay— all got into the NFL because of their dads. Some of them have proven they belong— but it sure helps when dad makes a few calls to get you onto an NFL coaching staff when you are 22 years old.

How does he keep getting these gigs?
