NFL News: Broncos Hire Nathaniel Hackett as Head Coach

The Broncos have their guy.

After weeks of interviews and even second interviews, the Denver Broncos have hired Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett as its next head coach, according to multiple reports.

Hackett's NFL resume:

2006-07: Offensive quality control, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

2008-09: Offensive quality control, Buffalo Bills

2013-14: Offensive coordinator, Buffalo Bills

2015-16: Quarterbacks coach, Jacksonville Jaguars

2017-18: Offensive coordinator, Jacksonville Jaguars

2019-21: Offensive coordinator, Green Bay Packers

With all of the uncertainty with Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, the Broncos could be a potential landing spot for the 38-year-old quarterback with Hackett in place. Rodgers and Hackett have a great relationship and stated back in November, “Hope he doesn’t go anywhere… unless I do."

Hackett also interviewed for the Jacksonville Jaguars opening and was scheduled for a second interview with them today.
