Fine by me.

Nathaniel Hackett is not a football name. Just don’t like the sound of it.

Agreed. Nathaniel Hackett sounds more like a colonial era rabble rouser than a football coach.

The Rams need someone who understands x’s and o’s. They don’t need a gadfly to King George.

Exactly.

That’s why I liked Chudzinski. You can score points behind a man like that. You need a guy with a name like Biertzhopfer or something. Something that sounds like it’s made of steel.

Well, I won’t have Hacky to kick around anymore.

Report: Nathaniel Hackett to be Jaguars quarterbacks coach

by Josh Alper

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/01/28/report-nathaniel-hackett-to-be-jaguars-quarterbacks-coach/

The Rams interviewed Nathaniel Hackett in their search for a new offensive coordinator, but it looks like he’ll be coaching elsewhere in 2015.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Hackett has pulled his name from consideration in St. Louis and will be joining Gus Bradley’s staff in Jacksonville. Per Rapoport, Hackett is expected be the team’s quarterbacks coach.

Moving the Jacksonville would allow Hackett to continue working with Doug Marrone, who hired Hackett as his offensive coordinator at Syracuse and again with the Bills when Marrone was a head coach. Marrone will be working with the offensive line in Jacksonville while Greg Olson runs the offense.

The move will give Hackett another chance to work with a young quarterback after spending the last two years tutoring Bills 2013 first-round pick EJ Manuel. Manuel was benched after four games in 2014, a development that the Jaguars presumably don’t want to see happen with Blake Bortles in his second season.

Mmm Hmm.

“I respectfully decline the opportunity to be Offensive Coordinator for the Rams because I just cannot pass up the opportunity to be QB coach for Blake Bortles and Chad Henne in Jacksonville,” said no-one ever.
