NFL Exec Suggests Firing of Broncos HC Nathaniel Hackett (Sports Illustrated)

Love him or hate him, the increasingly disastrous 2022 Broncos season falls directly at the feet of head coach Nathaniel Hackett.

I think we had a couple of drops again, a couple of penalties. Thought it was a good decision, wanted to put the ball in Russell’s hand and call a play that we know, and he really likes, and it didn’t work out." "We hadn’t moved the ball very well the whole night, and I thought we had a spectacular drive to get all the way down there. “We wanted to win the game," Hackett explained in his postgame press conference. Never mind the Broncos failing to find the end zone across five quarters. [told The Score's Jordan Schultz](https://twitter.com/Schultz_Report/status/1578251545262673921).

“The defense is playing at an unbelievably high level,” Hackett said. “I second-guess everything that I call because I always want it to be as good as it possibly can be for the players and for the team,” Hackett said.

Turn the team over to Ejiro Evero, the defensive coordinator who oversees the one phase of the team that is actually functional. But in particular, they were a mess down the stretch. It was the type of game that seemed almost impossible to lose. Because the Broncos were a comedy of errors all night. The Colts entered the game as the lowest-scoring team in the NFL. They dropped a game where the opponent was dreadful. What did the Broncos do? Get a first down and the game is over, as Indianapolis was out of timeouts. The Broncos are a disaster. It was evident in the opener, when Denver settled for a 64-yard field goal to try to win the game, thinking that the second-longest kick in NFL history was the best chance at victory. Leading 9-6 with 2:13 to play, Denver had a third-and-four at the Colts 13-yard line. It was clear after two weeks when the team had to bring in Jerry Rosburg, adding a veteran coach to a staff of 30 in order to provide some guidance during games.
