Even though the Jets are in win-now mode, they needed someone on board if Aaron Rodgers calls it quits after 2024. There&#8217;s no reason to keep Hackett on board after Rodgers leaves.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, the Jets, right now, aren&#8217;t exactly a great landing spot, unless you&#8217;re an assistant coach not poised at becoming a head coach.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s be honest about the Jets situation, though. They made their bed when they went after Rodgers and landed him in a trade, and now, they have to live with the consequences. Only time will tell whether or not the experiment will completely blow up in their faces (like the Favre trade).<\/p>\n<h2>Jets Failed at Replacing Nathaniel Hackett as Play-Caller<\/h2>\n<p>Right from the get-go, signing Nathaniel Hackett as offensive coordinator was a terrible move. It was clear the Jets were doing so to woo Aaron Rodgers to want to play there when it was thought he would be available.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with the latest news, it&#8217;s clear that the organization wanted to move on from him as the primary play-caller in 2024.
