Sean Payton vs. Nathaniel Hackett, episode 2: Hackett’s response.
If the Broncos coach apologized for his comments in the media, and was going to call the Jets staff to discuss it with him. Nathaniel Hackett chose the route of the press to meet his successor at a press conference on Tuesday.
“I’ve been in this business all my life. As a coach, son of a coach, we live in a glass house. There is a coded and the way things are done in this house. Last week was frustrating and it disgusts me. We are all susceptible. »
When asked if Payton broke the coded between the coaches mentioned by Hackett, the former Broncos coach replied in the affirmative. Nonetheless, he believes Payton’s words could galvanize the team.
“Sometimes things are said that are totally unwarranted and it brings your team together. I think that’s a good thing. »
Meanwhile, he also said that Payton still hasn’t called him, and he doesn’t expect an apology from him. However, he admits he was glad he was making his comments now, rather than before the Week 5 game between them. An opposition to the taste of revenge that promises a lot.
