Kelly the Dog Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) According to Rappaport and LaContortia, Hackett has pulled out of the OC job for the Rams. Jim Thomas says the 2nd interview may still happen. Maybe Hackett is just staying with the Bills and knows he won't get the OC gig. EDIT: Became more clear after, he opted out to join Marrone in Jax.

I'm sorry but this entire post including hackets situation with the bills makes no sense to me.

Maybe he is getting a new title, Passing game coordinator?

seq004 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/560556332718120960 Heading to Jacksonvile If he claims Marrone held him back, then why would he go back to work with him? Sounds like career suicide to me.
Peter Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/560556332718120960 Heading to Jacksonvile Reunited and it feels so good . . . .
YoloinOhio Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/560556332718120960 Heading to Jacksonvile pretty odd that he would turn down a chance for an OC position for a downgrade to QB coach
K D Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 good. i dont want him within 1000 miles of this team
Buftex Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Well, he isn't working for Marrone...perhaps he is just staying close to St Doug, assuming he gets a HC job next year. As a pride thing, I am not surprised he isn't staying in Buffalo, though I think it was classy of the Bills to make a pitch for him, as with Peppers.
TC in St. Louis Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Doug is the Assistant Head Coach, so obviously he has something to do with the hire. Hackett would have been better off being offensive coordinator for the Rams. Unless he has some assurance that he will be promoted once Jax tanks this year, moving Doug to HC and Hackett to OC. And the seasons they go round and round.
Kelly the Dog Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 pretty odd that he would turn down a chance for an OC position for a downgrade to QB coach I assume he knew he wasn't likely to get the OC job, otherwise you're right. He might have been held back by Saint Doug, but Marrone did give him his first good gig as OC in Syracuse and his first big NFL gig as OC in Buff. Marrone will get some job, maybe in college, if not the NFL and Hackett will be an OC again. IMO, Marrone is counting on Bradley being a bum and taking over in Jax, maybe as soon as next year, and Hackett is right there with him.
Captain Hindsight Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I feel bad for the Jags. They had a terrible offense and fixed it by adding staff from the Bills and Raiders
BillsVet Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I thought Hackett was the good guy and Marrone was the bad coach, Guess that narrative just died.
The Big Cat Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 good. i dont want him within 1000 miles of this team Whew: http://goo.gl/lQ9dMQ Probably under, as the crow flies.
Rockinon Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 This move seems like career suicide for him. Shouda at least tried to make a name for himself as an OC. Instead opts out to take a QB coach job? Marone and Hackett deserve each other.
