Hackett hires ‘senior assistant’ to help with game management as ‘well-coached’ 49ers come to town

It’s been accountability week for Coach Hackett as he’s spent most of his daily pressers still answering for the poor game management against the Texans - which had followed terrible decision making against the Seahawks.

And since that was two games in a row where his inexperience managing the entire process came to the forefront - as well as national sports TV talk - the coach began acknowledging midweek some changes could be made.

“That’s something that we really jumped into and wanted to make sure that we can get better at that. That starts with me, and I’m doing every single thing I can to try to put myself in a position to be able to make quicker, faster [and] more efficient decisions,” Hackett said on Wednesday, noting that he had met with GM George Paton as well as assistant GM Darren Mougey.
