NFL Rumors: Nathaniel Hackett 'Doesn't Have a Lot of Support on the Jets Roster'

The New York Jets have fired head coach Robert Saleh after three-plus seasons, but much-maligned offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett retained his job.

Hackett stayed aboard despite reportedly not having much support among players or coaches.

Per Zack Rosenblatt and Dianna Russini of The Athletic. "Offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett doesn't have a lot of support on the Jets roster or coaching staff either, according to sources, and many were frustrated with his play-calling dating back to last year."

Hackett is in his second season as the Jets' offensive coordinator. New York finished 29th out of 32 teams in scoring last year and is 25th this year.
