I've always thought Hackett was hamstrung by Blake.

I was a Hackett fan until about midseason of this year when it became clear he was not maximizing the potential of the ground game.  He practically refused to run out of multiple personnel groupings. 

He scrapped the one page of the playbook that spread the defense out and gave LF and company more room to run after Grant went down. I think he should have just plugged in Yeldon to Grant's role and continued to run that group of plays as it was the only part of the offense that kept defensive coordinators guessing. 

I defended him up until it was clear he had just scrapped something good and chose to instead telegraph run plays via the personnel groupings against loaded boxes.

He was fine if you look at only 1 week. His main problem is he didn't utilize what worked. He finds something that works, uses it for a game or 2 and then removes it for weeks. Then when injuries happened he goes away from what the players do best and tries to throw it all the time. He just seems like he is trying to outsmart the other team instead of out playing them with the team's strengths.

He had to go because of his own issues, the injuries made it obvious though. A better QB would have hidden it though and he may have stuck around.
