What is your twitter name, and I'll follow you.

Hobs even broke out the "in the fold" line in his write-up.

Sort of odd that Hue couldn't land a position as an offensive assistant on someone's staff. His numbers as a coordinator were never that great, but he did get high marks as a receivers coach when he was here the first time.

Hahahahaha, thanks for that extra first rounder Hue.

 

[cincygrad]

Do you think part of the deal is that Hue gets to make the selection for the first rounder he gave us?

Hue: "I'll be shitcanned for sure if I make this trade for Palmer"

Mike B: "Aw come on Hue, I have your back"

True story. The day of the trade, it was reported that Mikey ("jokingly") told Hue if it doesn't work out in Oakland, he'd have a job for him back in Cincy.

At least it's good to know Mike hasn't changed a bit. Hue is an offense guy and we hire him as a defensive and ST assistant? Then again, I guess he is part of the "family".

He was credited with the IMPROVEMENT of that offense. You can't really blame him for not having a great offense with Campbell behind center and DHB as his #1.

Teams won't touch Hue with a 10' pole right now for the way he handled himself after Al Davis died. There was an article showing how his language changed (his press conferences evolving from "'we' have to do this or that as a team" to "'I' have to do this") and how power hungry he became as time went on. He put the nail in his own coffin with his post-season rant throwing his entire team under the bus and talking about how he wanted more say and more power in the organization.

End of the day, he showed himself as a Rex/Rob Ryan kind of guy. Someone who talks a lot more than he actually does. It has shown not to work. I do like the guy though. I hope he takes this as a learning experience and doesn't make the same mistakes again. From what I've seen, he really does seem to have a great offensive mind.

Hue was hired because he rhymes with blue.

Some food for thought:

If as some of us speculated, Gruden was promised the head coaching spot after this season, it might make sense that Hue was also promised the OC spot. Though not to leave out the possibility that Hue was just desperate now.

 

[augustisback003]

Its only fair. After all we did get him fired! Lol

 

[DanBengalfan]

He's part of the club, that's about all there is to it.

 

[kramer1]

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! You can't make this shit up.
