Denver, Colorado – There's a new Broncos head coach in town, and his name is Nathaniel Hackett.

After going 19-30 over the course of three seasons, the Denver Broncos fired former head coach Vic Fangio on January 9.

Now, the team is looking ahead to brighter days with a new head coach in Hackett.

This will be the first time the 42-year-old has held a head coaching position, leaving behind his three-year role as the Green Bay Packers' offensive coordinator to do so.

The announcement came on Thursday afternoon, with the organization noting it interviewed 10 candidates for the job over a three-week time frame.

Speaking on the team's decision, Broncos' general manager George Paton said, "Nathaniel Hackett is a dynamic leader and coach whose intelligence, innovation and charisma impressed us from the very start of this process."

He continued, "In addition to having a brilliant offensive mind, Nathaniel is an outstanding teacher and communicator with a strong vision for all three phases of our team."

With Hackett's departure from Green Bay, it begs the question: will longtime Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers follow suit?

After a lackluster performance against the San Francisco 49ers that ultimately led to the Packers' elimination from the playoffs, many wondered what Rodgers' future might look like in Green Bay – if one at all.

It's a question Rodgers has admittedly asked himself lately, noting in a post-game press conference that he's not interested in, "A rebuild if I'm going to keep playing. So, a lot of decisions in the next couple of months."

Whether Rodgers leaves Green Bay for Denver like Hackett, chooses another NFL team, or hangs up his pads for good is a decision the All-Pro quarterback said he'd make before free agency begins on March 16.
