Report: Ex-Jaguars OC Nathaniel Hackett Agrees to Contract to Become Packers OC

The Green Bay Packers are hiring Nathaniel Hackett as the team's offensive coordinator, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The 39-year-old had previously worked as offensive coordinator of the Jacksonville Jaguars for parts of three seasons before being fired in November after a 3-8 start to the season.

Jacksonville struggled offensively this season due to inconsistency at quarterback while star running back Leonard Fournette only played eight games. However, a similar roster was very productive the year before under Hackett.

The Jaguars finished with the No. 5 scoring offense in the NFL in 2017 while ranking sixth in total yards, thanks mostly to a run-heavy approach.
