We tried to tell you.
The NFL is full of career position coaches with tons of experience. Sometimes they get promoted to OCs and bounce around from shitty team to shitty team. If they get lucky enough, they get a job with an elite QB and pad their resume.
Everything Hackett did prior to GB was a failure from an OC perspective.
Like… would you hire Brian Schottenheimer as a head coach? This was the same thing. And you fell for it. [Reply]

He was around pro football, but it was his father, who was an absolutely abysmal offensive coordinator. If you needed to pick up three yards on third and seven, Paul Hackett was the guy to call.
So being around Paul Hackett was more of a negative than a positive. [Reply]

Hackett did have some success with Bortles. Even though he wasn’t calling plays in GB, Rodgers spoke highly of him and gave him a lot of credit for his back-to-back MVP’s.
Kyle Shanahan had a similar background to Hackett, only his team lost in the Super Bowl instead of the AFCCG. [Reply]

The Broncos passed on offering the job to Kyle Shannahan, Sean McVay and Mike McDaniels.
You'd think a franchise that benefitted from Mike Shannahan for so long would be smart enough to go back to that well, but nope.
And now you are where you are bc of those mistakes. [Reply]
