Report: Cardinals hire Nathaniel Hackett as OC

Wednesday, the Arizona Cardinals hired veteran coach Nathaniel Hackett as offensive coordinator, a person told AP ahead of any official announcement.
Having worked under Matt LaFleur, Hackett brings prior offensive coordinator roles with the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars, and LaFleur hired him hoping to replicate Packers success.
Hackett's résumé shows NFL coordinator roles with Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, Green Bay Packers, and New York Jets, plus a 4-11 Denver Broncos head-coaching stint and stripped play-calling duties in 2024.
Mike LaFleur will call plays and the Dolphins must replace Hackett after his move to the Cardinals for a bigger role.
Still, Hackett's uneven record leaves questions about replicating Packers' top-10 offense and Rodgers' MVP seasons in Arizona, where success remains uncertain.
