I wonder if FHCDM will be heading to Denver as well…. or will Nate make a clean cut?

 

[OburgOrange]

What could have been.

Good for him

It’d be funny if Rodgers made the move. Don’t think that connection’s there but could be interesting.

Always nice to see former coaches at Syracuse do well. Congrats to Nathaniel He seemed like a good guy while he was here.

I don't think a journalist ever followed up with him and asked him what would have happened had Syracuse offered him the HC job when Doug left for Buffalo. I wonder if he would have stayed? Even now, it would be an interesting read for Syracuse fans.

(My journo friends, yes, that was a very subtle hint for a possible future story).

That has to be part of the consideration. Rodgers has nothing but great things to say about Nathaniel

 

[JSOrange97]

As a Broncos fan, this gets me very excited. I hope he has much success!

As a Broncos fan, this gets me very excited. I hope he has much success!

As a Packers fan...this sucks. I think there is a very good chance that Rodgers will be heading to Denver now.

 

[GreekFreak]

Happy for Nate but not crazy about that destination. The franchise goes through QBs and HCs like crazy. They don’t seem to have a real plan what they are doing.

 

[All4SU]

Just crazy. Good for him. What a career arc.

didn't I read something too where Rodgers girlfriend lives most of the year in Boulder? I would say there is a good chance he may end up there. Denver has a very solid roster and probably with Rodgers is at a minimum a playoff team. Hope Harbaugh goes to Vegas, that will be a fun conference.

yeah didn't Marrone fire him at some point as the OC? I can't remember, not saying it wasn't owner or GM mandated either. I would imagine Nate has his own ideas on running the offense but maybe as O Line/ AHC type. Probably would be a solid hire in that area for sure

Nathaniel Hackett and how his NFL offenses ranked with him as OC

Bills
13-14 - 19th

Jaguars
2016-2018
16 - 25th PPG
17 - 5th PPG (with Blake Bortles)
18 - 31st PPG

Packers

19 - 15th
20 - 1st
21 - 10th

Will Rodgers follow him to Denver?

 

[Nahson]

Good day for the SU fam… Bad day for my Pack

 

[cusefan88]

Imagine he calls Doug to be OL Coach/AHC.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Congrats. He should do great there. If I was a Broncos fan I would be very happy. Here is a nice article with a lot of Syracuse references.

That was TC that fired him, weeks before he got bounced.

Well, the way has been cleared for the franchise to be sold as all the lawsuits regarding the Bowlen family have apparently been settled:

As Broncos are cleared for sale, six groups set to bid including Peyton Manning and John Elway - Mile High Sports

Could John Elway's group, or Peyton Manning's group become the next ownership group of the Denver Broncos? According to Woody Paige, there are six or seven groups vying for ownership of the blue-chip franchise.

Rodgers will bring a top WR with him and they will be loaded at the position.

Tough conference but the Chiefs might take a step back they have been pretty fortunate Kelce and Hill haven't missed much time. Herbert is the master of playing amazing yet somehow losing every big game.

Raiders are an up and down organization next year they might be down. They could also recruit their own veteran QB like Brady or Wilson.

 

[Crusty]

Referenced his time at SU during his presser.

[Cusester]

Just my opinion but F Aaron Rodgers. Dirtbag.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Wheatley is joining Nate in Denver
