The Green Bay Packers kept their playoff hopes alive with a thrilling win in Miami on Sunday. The Packers (7-8) have put themselves in a position to make the playoffs if they win their final two games. They would just need the Commanders to lose one of their final two remaining games. It hasn’t gone as well for another Packers coach who departed the team in the off-season. Today it was announced that the Broncos have fired Head Coach Nathaniel Hackett. This has had Packers’ Twitter in a frenzy asking for him to come back to Green Bay.

Hackett, 42, was hired in January as Denver’s 18th head coach. This came after serving three seasons as the Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator under Matt LaFleur. At the time, George Paton (Broncos GM) called Hackett a “dynamic leader and coach whose intelligence, innovation, and charisma impressed us from the very start of the process.”
During those three seasons in Green Bay, the Packers’ offense had a lot of success. Green Bay won 13 games each season he was in Green Bay. 2019: 13-3, 2020: 13-3, and 202: 13-4. Fittingly, Packers Twitter would love to see that same offense back in Green Bay and they are letting it be known.
Yep! I think he did a lot to help with adding a level of creativity to the game planning. The brain drain this year has been REAL.

The Packers will face the Vikings on Sunday at Lambeau Field. It will be a must-win if Green Bay wants to continue their improbable playoff push. Green Bay will need one loss from the Commanders in their final two games in order to secure that final playoff spot. All of a sudden Green Bay has found themselves in a position to fight for a playoff push. While it is extremely unlikely Hackett would be hired this season by anyone, it is surely a name the Packers could keep an eye on this off-season.

How can we listen TO his approval of RATINGS when he PLAYS LIKE SHIT…
THE DEFENSE SAVED THE GAME ON SUNDAY AGAINST MIAMI!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!
If the Pack wins tomorrow, then all LaFluer did to screw up the season will be forgiven. He held onto Berry way too long. He did the same with the previous defensive coordinator. LaFluer’s indecisiveness with his coordinators is a definite weakness. Stats be damned. Like it or not. The truth will set you free
A lot of the fans are delusional
