Do you have any idea what an offensive quality control coach does in the NFL?
 
To be successful in the job you have to know and understand offensive schemes and have to be able to watch film and defensive tendencies - it is the essence of offensive football.
 
Hackett did it for four years. And he grew up learning from a very respected offensive mind - Paul Hackett.
 
He also coached at Stanford for three years so the notion that this is his first job is obviously incorrect.

I guess it's the "coordinator" title that you're referencing.
 
That could mean something but it is not necessarily an indication of anything.
 
Andy Reid was never a coordinator before he became the HC in Philadelphia.  
 
I have no doubt that you have never met Hackett and have absolutely no idea what he knows or how he teaches.
 
You're basing your assessment on his age and how you view his resume.
 
Doug Marrone interviewed the guy and worked with the guy for a year before he named Hackett the OC.
 
DM means business - this is his football life. He has already demonstrated that he will fire assistant coaches whom he feels do not measure up.
 
If he feels that NH is a solid OC, I have no basis for arguing.
 
And, based on what I have seen, NH has done very well with the talent he has been given.
 
Nassib is a solid kid, but he does not bring all that much athletic ability to the table - and NH has squeezed an awful lot out of him - including an eight win season and a bowl win. 
 
Hackett will be fine.
