Actually, Hackett maximized the effectiveness of Pennington. Pennington under Hackett was one of the highest rated QBs of all-time.
I don't think Herm getting rid of Hackett was a good thing: he brought in someone he tried to do things Pennington can't do - throw the ball down the field.
Say want you want about Hackett's play-calling, but I don't doubt he is a very good QB coach. Look at what he did with Pennington. Grbac went all to hell the year after Hackett left, and Gannon credits Hackett more than anyone.
