Jets hire Nathaniel Hackett, fired by Broncos last season, as new offensive coordinator

Nathaniel Hackett is back in the NFL, this time as an offensive coordinator. And another team might be hoping it's a way to lure Aaron Rodgers.

The New York Jets hired Hackett, who had a rough season as Denver Broncos head coach, to run their offense.

It's a curious choice considering Hackett's offense, with Russell Wilson at quarterback, was among the worst in the NFL. The Broncos finished last in the league in points scored last season.

The Jets needed a boost to the offense and perhaps there's more to the move than just Hackett's experience as an offensive coordinator.
