Source: Cardinals' Mike LaFleur hires Nathaniel Hackett as OC - ESPN

The Arizona Cardinals are hiring Nathaniel Hackett as their offensive coordinator, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Hackett joins new Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur, who said Monday he will be the team's offensive playcaller.

Hackett last was an offensive coordinator with the New York Jets in 2023 and '24, although he was stripped of playcalling duties during the 2024 season.

He was the offensive coordinator for Mike LaFleur's brother, Matt LaFleur, on the Green Bay Packers from 2019 to '21. Matt LaFleur also called the offensive plays.

In 2022 he left the Packers to be the Denver Broncos' head coach but was fired before his first season concluded.

Hackett also was an offensive coordinator with the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars during his career.
