Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett had a second interview for the Denver Broncos’ head coach opening on Monday, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Hackett, one of three finalists for Denver’s head coach position, helped the Packers offense rank 15th, 1st and 10th in scoring over the last three years.
Some background on Hackett, via Zach Kruse of Packers Wire:
Not only is Hackett well-versed in the West Coast offense and the scheme developed by the likes of [Matt] LaFleur, Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay, but he spent the last three years building the red-zone plan and working with Aaron Rodgers, who is expected to win his second straight NFL MVP.
Speaking of Rodgers, there’s a chance that he might become available via trade this offseason. If that happens, having Rodgers’ old offensive coordinator as their head coach could potentially help the Broncos’ pitch to the quarterback should he hit the market.
Denver is also expected to hold a second interview with Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn this week. The team’s third head coach finalist — Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell — will not be available for a potential second interview until next week.
