Former New York Jets offensive coordinator and Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett returned to his roots with the Green Bay Packers, but there's a new script in place.
Hackett, offensive coordinator of the Packers from 2019-21 before he was hired as the head coach in Denver, signed on to return to Matt LaFleur's coaching staff as a defensive analyst.
Hackett worked with the Jets in 2024 but was demoted a month into the season by interim coach Jeff Ulbrich when New York dipped to 27th in total offense (286.6 yards per game) and 25th in scoring (18.6 points). Todd Downing took over as the playcaller at that time.
The Broncos fired Hackett after 15 games and a 4-11 record in 2022.
Hackett has never officially worked on the defensive side of the ball in the NFL. He was an assistant at Stanford, working with the team's offensive and defensive coordinators, in 2003-04.
Green Bay's coaching staff also lists former Chicago Bears and Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Luke Getsy as a senior assistant for the Packers.
