Packers hire Nathaniel Hackett as offensive coordinator, per report

New head coach Matt LaFleur continues to put together his coaching staff, and the Green Bay Packers are reportedly hiring Nathaniel Hackett to be the offensive coordinator, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Hackett makes the move from the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he has been offensive coordinator since 2016.

LaFleur and Hackett will be trying to fix an offense run by Mike McCarthy and Joe Philbin in 2018.

So what does this hire mean for the Packers?

Peter Bukowski of SB Nation believes it’s great news for the run game:

Between Matt LaFleur and Nathaniel Hackett, this Packers run game is going to be a top-5 group.
