He interviewed in Detroit and there were still plenty of OC openings available. So yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 A LaFleur/Hackett combo probably would have been pretty far down my list 2 weeks ago lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeightTheVillain Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 This is pure conjecture but given Mac's time under Paul Hackett (who was QB coach under Walsh), and LaFleur coming from the Walsh originated Shanahan tree, could the edge have been given to Nate Hackett over Monken because of the similar verbiage? Basically, Mac, LaFleur, and Hackett all use Walsh verbiage, and they wanted some continuity in the language of the offense. Although, probably over half the league uses Walsh verbiage and I have no idea if Monken does or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettFavre004 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 His QB's will have been heading into the season, EJ Manuel, Kyle Orton, Blake Bortles, Aaron Rodgers One of these things is not like the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Whilst his track record doesn't make you jump out of your seat with excitement it's isn't necessarily the most important thing. It's all about what traits he has to offer as a person which will compliment the coaching staff, especially LaFleur. You want your offensive assistant to be a good communicator with a good handle of the X's and O's. Hackett appears seems to tick those boxes. He also appears to be a fairly energetic and likeable person which is always good to have on the practice field. I'm not a fan of old or softly spoken or fat guys that brings the energy levels down either on the practice field or in the classroom. He's the same age as LaFleur which might be important to him as he will be someone who he will be spending alot of time with drawing up our offensive system. The offensive coordinator has to be someone who LaFleur is comfortable with on a day to day basis. There's another crucial point- as of now he doesn't seem the type of coaching prospect that NFL will be clamoring to hire as head coach especially with his track record and the fact he is a non-playcaller with us. In theory we should have some long term stability with him on our coaching staff. If we hired a big name like Dan Campbell for example he would probably be gone the very next year. He seems, on paper at least, to be a good fit with LaFleur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Monken and LaFleur are pretty far apart philosophically, so you have to imagine there would be issues htere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
