Nathaniel Hackett has returned to a familiar team.<\/p>\n
The former Denver Broncos<\/a> head coach has rejoined the Green Bay Packers<\/a> in an advisory role. The 45-year-old coach will advise Green Bay’s defense from the perspective of an offensive mind, according to Packers Wire<\/a>.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Hackett coached under Matt LaFleur as an offensive coordinator with the Packers<\/a> from 2019-2021. He was then hired by Denver as head coach in 2022, but he was fired 15 games into his tenure after an embarrassing 51-14 loss<\/a> to the Los Angeles Rams<\/a> on Christmas Day. Hackett went 4-11 with the Broncos<\/a> before getting the boot.<\/p>\n After that, Hackett spent two seasons as an offensive coordinator with the New York Jets<\/a>. He was stripped of play-calling duties last fall and was not brought back when the 2024 season ended. A few months after losing his position in New York, Hackett has now returned to LaFleur’s staff in Green Bay.<\/p>\n After firing Hackett, Denver finished out the 2022 season with Jerry Rosburg serving as interim coach (he went 1-1). The team then hired Sean Payton in 2023. Payton is 18-16 through two seasons, including a 10-7 record last fall.<\/p>\n Social: Follow Broncos Wire<\/a> on Facebook<\/a> and Twitter\/X<\/a>!
