No longer tasked with calling plays, Hackett’s role with the Jets is unclear, but they aren’t firing him. Here’s a sampling of how Denver Broncos fans and pundits reacted to the news on Twitter/X.

Ulbrich has stripped offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett of his play-calling duties and gave it to Todd Downing. No titles will change, just duties, Ulbrich said. Downing will remain the Jets’ passing game coordinator and Hackett the offensive coordinator.

Two days after abruptly firing head coach Robert Saleh, the New York Jets are also undergoing significant change on the offensive side of the ball. Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich announced Thursday that Todd Downing will replace Nathaniel Hackett as the team's play-caller and have "final say" on the offense moving forward.
