What happened between Sean Payton and Aaron Rodgers?
In an interview with USA Today’s Jarrett Bell last week, Payton harshly criticized Nathaniel Hackett. He said that Hackett has done one of the worst coaching jobs ever.
“There’s so much dirt around that. There’s 20 dirty hands, for what was allowed, tolerated in the fricking training rooms, the meeting rooms. The offense. I don’t know Hackett. A lot of people had dirt on their hands.”
After this Aaron Rodgers who has played under the coaching of Hackett before and is going to play with him again for the 2023 season came forward to defend Hackett. In an interview, he shared that Payton’s comments were surprising to him.
“I love Nathaniel Hackett, and those comments were very surprising, for a coach to do that to another coach.”
Rodgers shared that he loves the coach. He praised his work ethic and how he treats the team members.
“And on the field, he is arguably my favorite coach I’ve ever had in the NFL. Just his approach to it, how he makes it fun. How he cares about the guys — just how he goes about his business with respect, with leadership, with honesty, with integrity.”
