Falcons Reportedly Interested in Packers OC Nathaniel Hackett to Be Head Coach

The Atlanta Falcons reportedly have interest in interviewing offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett for their head coaching vacancy following the 2020 season.

According to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, Hackett is a favorite of Falcons team president Rich McKay. Hackett was brought into the NFL as a quality control coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers under Jon Gruden in 2006, and McKay was part of the Bucs front office that acquired Gruden from the Oakland Raiders.

The Falcons fired head coach Dan Quinn this season after an 0-5 start.
