Never understood how he became a Head Coach.

 

He came to Buffalo from Syracuse under Marrone and ran a dreadfully boring offense.

 

Followed Marrone to Jacksonville and did the same thing.

Hung around Aaron Rodgers and rehabbed his image. 

 

And we have since learned that the Bills got hood-winked by Marrone’s agent and their 5-day “no stone unturned” search in Arizona led by Russ Brandon. 

 

 

They'll never admit this out loud but Hackett was an important part of their plan to court Rodgers and then they got stuck with both him and a way worse QB.

NOTHING will change.

 

Russell Wilson will still start and look horrible.

The Broncos defense will still get torched by the Chiefs.

 

*yawn*

 

Maybe so.....as they rightfully should/did, going to give up on Hackett long before they give up on R. Wilson. Hackett was in wayyyy over his head and I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.

 

 

[BRH]

I mean...

 

Did they not check his references before they hired him?

[MiltonWaddams]

I would guess that the Broncos will still look for offensive minded head coaches. Will this be Eric Bieniemy’s opportunity at last? Stays in division against the great Andy Reid?

[GunnerBill]

He was a bad OC. Not sure how he ever got the gig. 

 

Denver in wheel spin territory.

Sadly if he could have just been as productive on offense as he was here with EJ Manuel, Thad Lewis and Jeff Tuel leading the way, the Broncos would be challenging the Chiefs for the division. Their D has been that good most games this year...until they basically just quit yesterday.

 

He averaged 21.2 points per game in 2013 that year...Denver would have a LOT of wins with that kind of basic production this year.

their chances of beating Kc just tripled, from 0.2% to 0.6%!

Three words is all I need to know about Hackett and his ability to coach….Syracuse Orange Football. People love picking on Irsay and Saturday with the Colts, but the Bills bringing the Syracuse Orange football staff to the NFL in the 21st century might be the biggest coaching joke of all time.

This guy was the real problem, moreso than Wilson.

Not sure about that. Hackett was a trainwreck no doubt, but Wilson looks like he can’t play anymore. He’s an absolute shell of his former self

With the way the Broncos defense played against the Rams, I am not positive at all... it is a divisional game though. My hope lies with the Raiders the week after to beat the Chiefs at Allegiant.

[Rochesterfan]

What a terrible hire - trying to bring in Aaron, but it was a really bad hire as a mesh with Wilson.

 

 

[SageAgainstTheMachine]

Wait...was Hackett getting to spend a season as an NFL HC Doug Marrone's second miracle?

[Airseven]

That was truly one of the more bizarre hires from the moment it was first announced. Broncos problem now is being forced into bringing in new people agreeable to propping up Wilson.

[Buddo]

Hackett never struck me as having the right sort of personality to be a Head Coach.

 

I can see him being a Coordinator, which he obviously has been, and not without some success, but I would never have thought him to be HC material.

[DaBillsFanSince1973]

it's a start. now, how the hell do they get rid of wilson?

 

they tied too much money in that loser so I guess they're stuck with his sorry ass.

That was my immediate thought when I heard this.  Their offense is a tire fire and they need someone who can sort Wilson out since they are locked into that albatross of a contract.  Not sure if Bieniemy is that guy, but he's at least familiar with that franchise.  Wilson ain't Patrick Mahomes though.
