FalconDawg28 357 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 It’s hard to judge Hackett when he was OC with the Bills and Jags bc his QBs were EJ manual, Thad Lewis, Jeff Tuel, Kyle Orton and Blake bortles. FalconJim, #84, Herr Doktor and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rings 6,683 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Years as OC DVOA Rankings JAX 2016: 27th 2017: 15th 2018: 30th GB 2019: 8th 2020: 1st How much of his struggle in Jax was bad QB play and overall bad roster, how much of his success in GB is Rodgers / LaFleur? Not leaning either way but some food for thought. FalconJim, Ergo Proxy, A Dog Named Brian and 3 others 4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brewcrew 2,864 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Not my first choice, but I could get behind it. Primarily because I just don't know much about him. celtiksage 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

g-dawg 42,698 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 there are a lot of bright offensive minds that we can get to be head coaches - Daboll, Smith, Brady, Hackett, etc. - getting these guys ensures you have a good playcaller - the key is "Do any of these guys also have the right stuff to be head coaches?" You gotta get both. I look at OCs as more sophisticated egg-head types and DCs as more neanderthal cavemen types - both have their plusses and minuses when it comes to being a Head Coach. I really do want an OC who has a great design of offense, adaptable and play-calling - just need him to have the type of leadership, hiring ability and management styles to work with an entire team. Not an easy transition for ANYONE who has never done it before. Remember, even the greatest HC of all time - Bill Belicheck - got fired by the Cleveland Browns.

Not leaning either way but some food for thought. Good question. I’ll give it a shot... Jacksonville hasn’t really been a beacon of offensive talent. Blake Bortles as your QB...c’mon lol. But he made it work to get them to the playoffs in 2017 (5th in scoring, 6th in yards) In 2018 they were off to a great start offensively and the team started with a 3-1 record, but then the wheels fell off. First of all, Blake Bortles...c’mon man. If I’m not mistaken I believe that’s the year ALL their WR got hurt and Fournette’s production dropped dramatically. That’s the year Ramsey got perturbed and Marrone couldn’t hold the locker room together. QBs that Hackett has had before Rodgers: Kyle Orton, EJ Manuel, Blake Bortles Talent matters on any NFL roster, but that Jags team was really Hackett making lemon meringue pie out of oranges.

ATLFalcons11 4,633 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I'm personally bigger on Hackett and Daboll than anybody. Hackett is the easiest transition for how we have been drafting and signing players for our offense the last 5 or 6 years. That's important. We can't just switch to something a bit more power run with the way our OL for examplenis set up. Not a huge overhaul but not a small one either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From an offensive standpoint, Hackett would be an almost seamless transition for Matt and the rest of the offensive personnel. I guess the question I have is the one I have for every other first time HC - can he lead and manage an entire team, not just his side of the ball.

NWFALCON 4,031 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I just checked his coaching history. He has been OC of teams that have ran both Air Coryell and West Coast style offenses. I can see him reaching out to Doug Marrone as an OC or offensive/assistant head coach. Herr Doktor 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marone fired him in Jacksonville and from what I understand he wasn't happy about it. Thought Marone threw him under the bus and made him a scapegoat.
