The Cardinals made waves today by introducing Nathaniel Hackett as their new offensive coordinator, a move that head coach Mike LaFleur has been eagerly anticipating. LaFleur was clear in his press conference: Hackett was always his top choice for the role.
Now, Hackett's coaching journey has been a rollercoaster. His stint with the Broncos in 2022 was rocky, ending with a 4-11 record and an early exit.
Fast forward to 2024, and Hackett found himself stripped of play-calling duties with the Jets. Yet, despite these challenges, LaFleur emphasized Hackett's respected reputation within NFL circles.
“There are so many factors that contribute to success,” LaFleur remarked. “Hackett has achieved a lot and is highly regarded in our profession.
If there’s one thing to take away from this press conference, it’s that I wanted him and nobody else. And now he’s part of our team.”
LaFleur's confidence in Hackett signals a fresh start for the Cardinals' offense, and fans will be eager to see how this new partnership unfolds.
