In their search for the tenth head coach in franchise history, the Minnesota Vikings are taking at least part of their search just slightly to the east.
The Vikings have requested to interview Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett for their head coaching position. He is the son of former long-time coach Paul Hackett, and he has been the OC in Green Bay since 2019.
The 42-year old Hackett has been an offensive coordinator at several other stops in his NFL career as well. He served as the offensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2016 to 2018, and that team went to an AFC Championship Game with Blake Bortles at quarterback (though, to be fair, that Jacksonville defense was ridiculously great that season).
