Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett is winning over his new team.
Ultimately, it comes down to wins and losses for NFL coaches. But having an approachable personality doesn’t hurt!
While previous coach Vic Fangio, 63, displayed a serious demeanor, Hackett, 42, is bubbly, according to Broncos players. Face of the franchise, Bradley Chubb feels no different.
“My interactions have all been positive with him,” Chubb said of Hackett last week. “He’s been amazing with just the energy he brings to the meeting room. In the first meeting, we have guys shooting hoops against each other. … It was fun to bring out that competition in everybody.
“[He’s] allowing us to be us and to go out there, play carefree and not worry about what this guy is doing or what that guy is doing. We’re all going to be right there together, and that is his main message — keeping it together and winning the Super Bowl. That’s our main thing.”
Chubb’s comments align with Justin Simmons’ first impression of Hackett as well. Broncos Country will hope this comradery translates to wins on the field next season.
