The Green Bay Packers have named Nathaniel Hackett as the teams new offensive coordinator.

Hackett comes to the Packers after spending the majority of the last four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars as quarterbacks coach (2015-16) and then offensive coordinator.

In 2017, Hackett guided an offense that finished in the top 10 in the NFL in points per game (No. 5, 26.1), yards per game (No. 6, 365.9), rushing yards per game (No. 1, 141.4), rushing yards per carry (No. 9, 4.29), red-zone TD percentage (No. 2, 64.0%), goal-to-go TD percentage (No. 1, 85.7%), sacks allowed (T-No. 3, franchise-low 24), sacks per pass attempt (No. 6, 4.55%) and average time of possession (No. 5, 31:47). It was the first time in franchise history that the Jaguars led the league in rushing.

Jacksonville averaged 25.0 points during the 2017 postseason, helping the Jaguars reach the AFC Championship Game.

Prior to Jacksonville, Hackett was the offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills from 2013-14. He joined the Bills after three years at Syracuse.

After confirming that the Green Bay Packers would retain Mike Pettine as defensive coordinator, new head coach Matt LaFleur has his new offensive coordinator in the fold.

According to multiple reports, former Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett will be hired by the Packers.

Nathaniel Hackett is the son of former offensive coordinator Paul Hackett, who learned the West Coast offense from former 49ers Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh.

Nathaniel Hackett has been an offensive coordinator for seven seasons with Syracuse, the Buffalo Bills and the Jaguars. He coached under head coach Doug Marrone in each of those stops.

The Jaguars fired Hackett after a 24-21 loss to Buffalo in November. That loss dropped the Jaguars to 3-8. [Read more…]
