Webster Guy Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Wondering what happens to Hackett now. I'd be surprised if our new head coach will be impressed when he watches the film on Hacketts offense.
Max997 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 It prob won't even get to the point of watching film
Dirtbag Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 the bills retain custody for now. the lil' guy must be an emotional wreck with papa marrone leaving so abruptly.
Jamie Nails Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) He's reclaimed his rightful his throne as quality control coordinator. Edited January 2, 2015 by Jamie Nails
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Wouldn't surprise me at some point to hear that the Bills' gave all of the offensive coaches the approval to interview for other jobs, but NOT the defensive staff. That often happens one side or the other.

bigdogtim Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I heard he's been given permission to interview as an intern for The cone head beer guy
K D Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Lol the only reason Hackett is in the NFL is because he was a part of the Marrone deal. Hackett is barely qualified to be a college coordinator let alone one in the NFL. Bye Nate
thewildrabbit Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 We can only hope the NY Jets hire Marrone, and he steals Hackett away from us.... I for one would be so heartbroken
HOUSE Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I will miss his run up the middle on every first down. It was very effective during the bye week.
bobobonators Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 In all honesty I cannot imagine a new HC coming in and going with NH as OC. No way. Even if Schwartz is made HC, I see NH gone. This is a win-win for the Bills IMO.
GG Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Too bad the league forbids trading draft picks for coaches. Would have been great to finally get something of value out of Hackett.
T master Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) the bills retain custody for now. the lil' guy must be an emotional wreck with papa marrone leaving so abruptly. Well he should take him with him because he was such a studly O coordinator . I wonder what other team will snatch him up if marrone doesn't take him to where ever he lands ..

Dorkington Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I have a feeling Hackett will be a decent OC in the future, but right now he needs to be an assistant sort or something. His run design, and blocking schemes (at least with our talent) have been a mess. On the other hand, our receivers get open (but our QB ignores them), and the package plays truly fool defenses at times. So it's not all negative. He also seems like a fun, generally likeable guy, unlike Marrone... so hopefully he can develop as a coach, and have a nice career.... just not here... at least for right now.
MClem06 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Having Hackett as OC was like having Jauron as Head Coach... whatever you did after that was going to be some kind of positive improvement no matter what. I have to believe that with some smart FA moves, a competition HC and OC, we should be able to garner more than 9 wins next year if we can hold this team together defensively. Even IF EJ is the guy at QB.
billsfan_34 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 He is long gone. And when Marrone interviews I guarantee one of the stipulations will be that he CANNOT BRING HACKETT! I really think Marrone opting out is for the best. And I really think Whaley wanted Marrone to fire Hackett and that started the whole rift. All speculation of course but what my educated guess is.
All_Pro_Bills Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) We can only hope the NY Jets hire Marrone, and he steals Hackett away from us.... I for one would be so heartbroken The Bills would have to give him permission to speak to other teams. If Marrone wants him he could offer him an assistant HC job and that promotion would generally allow him to move elsewhere. If I was the Bills I'd try to squeeze a 6th or 7th rounder out of the Jets for the fun of it. Just to mess with Marrone if he wants Hackett so badly. But on the other hand, letting him go more or less guarantees the Jets offense will be horrible. The other option is for Pegula to just eat the contract, let him sit at home, and hire another OC. One thing for sure, we don't want Hackett here in 2015 no matter what. Edited January 2, 2015 by All_Pro_Bills
