Hue Jackson Fired

[cincygrad]

How long before he's back in the fold?

Brown is already heading up I-71 in his pinto

You knew this was inevitable as soon as they brought in a new GM. Short of a playoff berth he was out at the end of the season but the rift with Haley probably led to the midseason move.

The said thing is there are still Bengals fans that think Hue would make a good successor to Marvin.

Anytime you can hire the 3-36-1 coach of the Browns, you gotta pull the trigger.

Worked well for N.E.

On a more serious note: He's a hell of a coordinator. I wouldn't want him to be a H.C, but you can't deny his ability to scheme.

It's like a lot of former Coordinators: Great at what they do as a coordinator, terrible at being a H.C. Lebeoux and Coslet come to mind, as well as Lovie Smith and a host of others that tried to make the jump, and failed.

Well, when your record is 3-36 ..at least it will kill any speculation this was about race.

Makes sense to me.

 

[futballiscool]

Haley's out too.

 

[cincygrad]

Worked well for N.E.

Belichick had 12 times the number of wins with the Browns... And a playoff appearance.

 

[cincygrad]

Haley is poisonous. Not sure why they thought that was good idea to begin with.

My issue with the Jackson move is that it sets them back, yet again.... Why go a half season with the guy if you weren't committed? To be fair to Jackson, some games they lost this year had nothing to do with coaching. They had a kicker miss 4 field goals in New Orleans because he tore a groin in warm ups. They were completely jobbed against Oakland where they had the game won. That team was competing.

Now they'll have a bogus half season playing for a lame duck coach.... Then they will rip it up and start with a new coach that has to match their system with the Browns personnel. It's another 2-3 year process - One they probably won't stay with. The cycle goes on and on up there.

I guess this means that Ken Zampese will be calling plays the rest of the way?

This. 100%.

This is why the Browns are the Browns.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Browns are 17-70-1 under Haslam in first 88 games.

Bengals were 23-65 under Brown in first 88.

 

[DanBengalfan]

not that it makes any difference, but I hope we do bring him back.

you can't fix what they've broken in Cleveland that fast.

I mean, who could have predicted that?

It's always smart to hire a guy that heads the worst line in the league and completely wiffed on two top round tackles.
