The Jets have found the next coach to lead their offense, hiring former Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett as offensive coordinator on Thursday morning.
Shortly after the hiring was announced, Jets head coach Robert Saleh met with the media and explained why Hackett was the right man for the job.
“Really excited about it,” Saleh said. “We casted a wide net, like we said we were going to. We interviewed well over 15 candidates for this position. Went to college, went to different schemes, talked to different people.
