Jets OC Nathaniel Hackett says Robert Saleh has confidence in him | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

UH NATHANIEL HACK AT THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR ON THE JETS ADDRESS THE REPORT THAT CAME UP RECENTLY THAT THE JUST TRIED TO HIRE SOMEONE TO RUN THE SHOW ABOVE NATHANIEL HACKETT ON THE OFFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL. HERE'S WHAT HACKETT HAD TO SAY ABOUT THAT. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THOSE SOCIALISTS CAME FROM. I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH US, AND IT WAS GREAT. WE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS GOT TO TALK WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND IT'S THAT SIMPLE. IT'S ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED, BUT YOU TALK. I'M JUST YOU TALK TO GUYS THAT WERE BASICALLY INTERVIEWING A GREAT WE HAD A LOT OF CHANGES. SO WE WERE TALKING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE DO YOU FEEL LIKE ROBERT STILL HAS FULL CONFIDENCE IN YOU? YES. WHEN ROBERT SOLOW WAS ASKED THE QUESTION EARLIER IN THE WEEK. HE SHUT IT DOWN. LOOK THIS HAS ALL THE EARMARKS OF SOMETHING THAT ABSOLUTELY HAPPENED AND IT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE WE CAN'T FIRE. THE QUARTERBACK'S BUDDY. BUT WE CAN'T GO FORWARD WITH THIS GUY RUNNING THE OFFENSE NOW YESTERDAY ROGER SAID ROBERT SALAH HAS BEEN MORE INVOLVED IN THE OFFENSE. WHICH I GUESS IS GOOD. IF YOU'RE THE HEAD COACH OF THE TEAM, YOU CAN'T JUST WALL OFF 1 SIDE OF THE BALL AND DELEGATE IT TO SOMEBODY WHO'S PROVEN THAT THERE ARE ISSUES THERE, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIRE NATHANIEL HACKETT. THAT WAS THE THING. THEY HAD TO RUN IT BACK THIS YEAR. THEY HAD TO TRY TO DO AGAIN THIS YEAR WHAT THEY DID LAST YEAR BECAUSE THEY NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO DO IT LAST YEAR BECAUSE ROGER'S GOT HURT AND CONTINUED TO HOVER OVER THE TEAM AFTER HE GOT HURT THIS WHOLE IDEA OF MAYBE I'LL COME BACK AND PLAY. I DON'T THINK THAT HELPED MATTERS. NOT THAT THEY EVER DID COMPLETELY TURN IT AROUND, BUT IT WAS A MESS AND NOW THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO THIS YEAR WHAT THEY DID. LAST YEAR AT LEAST WITH A WANTED TO DO LAST YEAR. YEAH GET A CHANCE TO DO IT. YEAH, LET'S SEE IF THEY'RE CAPABLE. LET'S SEE, YOU KNOW AGAIN, I KNOW IT WASN'T GREAT LAST YEAR. WE KNOW THAT THERE WAS ISSUES CERTAINLY, BUT I MEAN WE'VE HIT THIS A LOT IT WAS. 1 OF THE MORE MESSED UP SITUATIONS EVER NEW TEAM NEW OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR NEW QUARTERBACK. HEY, WE'RE GOING ALL IN ON THIS QUARTERBACK AND HIS OFFENSE AND WHAT HE WANTS TO DO. OH, HE'S HURT. OH CRAP ALL THESE REPS WE DID FOR THIS OFFENSE. THIS GUY CAN'T DO THAT OFFENSE. SO HOLD ON A SECOND RIP THIS PAGE OUT RIP THIS PAGE OUT RIP THIS PAGE OUT. WE CAN'T DO THAT. WE GOT TO GO BACK TO BASICS. THAT'S WHERE I FEEL LIKE IT'S A LITTLE UNFAIR TO NATHANIEL HACKETT, YOU KNOW, AND I KNOW HE DESERVES SOME BLAME TOO, AND THERE'S THINGS HE PROBABLY WANTS TO DO DIFFERENTLY. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE OFFENSIVE LINE ISSUES AND INJURIES. IT WAS A DISASTER THERE AS WELL. I THINK EVERYBODY HAS TO TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT, BUT I AGREE WITH YOU. IT HAS ALL THE SIGNS OF A THEY BROUGHT IN OR THEY WERE TALKING TO PEOPLE. YEAH ABOUT THE STAFF AND IT LOOKS LIKE NATHANIEL HACKETT WAS AWARE OF IT TO A DEGREE AND I JUST YOU KNOW, WHAT WAS IT HAS THE FEELING OF THEY BROUGHT SOMEBODY IN OR WANTED TO BRING SOMEBODY IN TO YOU KNOW BE A WHAT WHAT WHAT DO I WANT TO SAY A LIAISON OVERSEER? HEY, LET'S DO THIS. HEY, HOW ABOUT INFUSING THIS INTO THE OFFENSE? MAYBE THAT I DON'T THINK THEY COULD HAVE BROUGHT SOMEBODY IN AND SAID WAIT. WE'RE GOING TO KEEP NATHANIEL HACKETT AS THE OC, BUT WE'RE GOING TO REALLY LET THIS GUY BE THE OC LIKE THAT. THAT'S NOT I DON'T LIKE YOU THINK ROGERS IS GOING TO BE DOWN WITH THAT. I DON'T THINK SO. IT HAS THE FEEL OF LIKE, HEY, LET'S JUST GET ANOTHER GUY IN THE BUILDING TO GIVE US MORE IDEAS. THAT'S KIND OF HOW I'M TAKING IT RIGHT NOW AT LEAST UNTIL I HEAR DIFFERENT. AND ULTIMATELY THE GUY WHO'S GOING TO RUN THE SHOW IS ROGERS AT THE END OF THE DAY OFFENSIVELY. HE'LL BE IN CHARGE. HE'LL DO WHATEVER PLAY HE WANTS TO DO AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. HACKETT WILL GIVE HIM FULL AND COMPLETE DIFFERENCE. THAT WAS THE PROBLEM IN DENVER HACKETT EXPLAINED THAT AFTER THE FACT THEY WERE SO USED TO DEFERRING TO THE QUARTERBACK. THEY DEFERRED TOO MUCH TO THE QUARTERBACK THEIR FIRST YEAR IN DENVER, RIGHT? AND THAT QUARTERBACK WASN'T ABOUT THAT. RIGHT, RIGHT. YEAH. YEAH, THIS THIS IS DIFFERENT AND NOW IT'S ALL ON THE TABLE. LET'S SEE. LET'S SEE. LET'S GIVE HIM NATHANIEL HACKETT A FAIR SHOT HERE AND AND SEE WHAT HE CAN DO WITH WITH THE TEAM AND THE QUARTERBACK. THAT'S HEALTHY A LITTLE BIT HERE. WELL, ROGER SAID IT. YESTERDAY AND HE SAID THE SAME THING WEEKS AGO. EVERYONE'S ON THE HOT SEAT IF THEY DON'T DELIVER THIS YEAR. THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE GONE AFTER THIS SEASON ROGERS INCLUDED. THERE'S A CONTRACT THROUGH 2025. HE'LL BE GONE SOLO WILL BE GONE HACK. IT WILL BE GONE. THEY'LL ALL BE GONE. THE ONLY CONSTANT WILL BE OWNERSHIP AND WHOEVER ELSE IN THE FRONT OFFICE IS ABLE TO SAY IT WASN'T MY FAULT. DON'T BLAME ME WOODY. DON'T FIRE ME. ALL R
