He has experience with the franchise. He was the quarterbacks coach in the two previous years and then the offensive coordinator in the 2016 season.
The Packers signed him in January after he was fired by the Jags in November.

The Green Bay Packers improved to first in 2020 at Football Outsiders. The team averages 357.1 yards and 25.5 points per game.

The Packers offense is so potent that it will make any coach look smarter, but it's the fault of Hackett.

Rodgers is on pace to lead the NFL in QBR for the second straight season, something he has never done in his career. The Packers have a more balanced rushing attack this year, with Jones and Dillon each carrying over 700 yards.

Considering how important Lawrence is to the future of the team, leaning toward an offensive minded coach would make sense.

In 2015, Bortles led the league with 35 touchdown passes and 4,428 yards, and he was aided by the help of Hackett. Imagine what he could do with Lawrence.
