Nathaniel Hackett To Return As Jets Offensive Coordinator
Nathaniel Hackett To Return As Jets Offensive Coordinator
10 months ago
New York Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett will return in 2024, although team and league sources say that head coach Robert Saleh has explored adding to the offensive staff and creating a more collaborative play-calling process that would reduce Hackett's role. It's a clear indication the team has lost confidence in his ability to run the offense on his own. Hackett struggled to adjust the offense once quarterback Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles on the first offensive series of the year in Week 1, and multiple coaches and players described him as lacking in attention to detail. The Jets finished the year ranked last in third-down conversions, red-zone offense and total offensive EPA, 31st in total yards, 30th in offensive points per game and 30th in passing touchdowns. The Jets should fare better on offense with a healthy Rodgers in 2024, and it sounds as though they'd be wise to give Hackett much less input.
