NFL insiders believe Broncos could fire Nathaniel Hackett with loss in Week 8

t seems that Nathaniel Hackett’s first seven weeks as Denver Broncos head coach have been so disastrous that there are some around the league who believe he could be on the chopping block with another loss in Week 8.

After a surprising — but not altogether shocking — Week 1 loss in Seattle, the Broncos rebounded and were 2-1 after the first three weeks of the season. They were a team with promise and still building chemistry under a new head coach and starting quarterback. However, over the next four games, the wheels have completely fallen off the Denver wagon.

There is the story the only reason Hackett was even hired from Green Bay by Denver was in the hope he would bring Rodgers with him. Another story he lost the team with that bungled call in Week 1. His father is Paul Hackett who was a horrible college head coach with stints at Pitt and USC. Paul got these jobs as a Bill Walsh disciple coaching Montana. Hackett was hired by the Chiefs as OC to convince Montana to join him there.

I think it’s kind of unfair. He was saddled with an overrated QB, and a team with a lot of problems.

Since Nathaniel failed at brining Rodgers, the Broncos should have fired him immediately....

Considering how the Football Giants are doing now without Judge, safe to say he might never get another HC job.
These Belichick coaches are worthless as head coaches except for Saban at ‘Bama.

Not surprised.

Denver gave Seattle a bunch of high draft choices for QB Russell Wilson, and Wilson, who is injured, has a huge guaranteed contract.

Seattle took us to the cleaners in that trade.

The buyer must be wondering what have I done with my billions???

Hi clock management and red-zone play calls had me convinced week 1. $254M for a QB you’re afraid to use. Come to find out he is a bit frail as well. Hopes dashed.

My understanding was that the final piece Denver needed was at QB. I haven't followed Denver at all. Is it not working out?

Denver now has the same problem Seattle had:

Wilson is so expensive the team can't afford to pay a good front line.

We thought the problem was the QB position. Turns out the Broncos have a whole host of problems.

London is a great city. Enjoy the trip fellas. That's probably all you will enjoy.

Saban is overrated as a coach. He has proven he can win when he has twice as much talent as his opponent does. That's it.

Where he shines is in recruiting and building the infrastructure it takes to have a steady program

True, but Hackett is also a cuck.

Well, in fairness, recruiting is a huge part of being a college football coach. Probably doesn’t matter how good you are with x’s and o’s if you can’t recruit.

Now it’s all about the money in college football. It’s going to ruin the game.

That was never an option. Rodgers stayed in Green Bay, even though they traded away his two best recievers. If he was going to move, I think he wanted to go to the 49ers. But the 49ers didn’t want him or Brady when Brady wanted to come. Jed York is worse than Dan Snyder.

if the Broncos truly had any interest in winning, they’d hire the best NFL coaching candidate available, namely Jon Gruden ...
