So long Hue....

[futballiscool]

Yeah, that was a head scratcher as well.... The Giants are a solid franchise, for all the reasons you list. He and his agent had to think it was a long shot.

I think I read that John Thorton is his agent now. Also Ian Rapport reported that Mike Smith is the Giants top choice and Doug Marrone is a close number two. They might have had legitimate interest but Hue's a veteran guy who's bounced around the league

Good luck with that..... Exactly the reason why I said that if Marv left the Bengals he'd be hired right away. Best way to become an NFL coach is to have been an NFL coach.

Now they're saying Giants plan to hire Ben Macadoo. Maybe it helps Eli to stay in the same offense at the end of his career. It's better than hiring Mike Smith imo

Bye Felecia.

Not to mention that shit of a division they are in. He could have gone 8-8 next year and won the damn division.

Going to Cleveland he has to deal with the Steelers, Bengals and Ravens.

Maybe he didn't want to move his family across the country?

 

[Cincyfan78]

My guess is they are promising him some kind of personnel power or say in the process. More power than some other head coaches would have. Maybe that was the lure.

I have zero idea why any self-respecting coach would take that job. He'll be back in 2+ years. No way he makes it through year 3.

Hue will bring Josh Gordon back, he will motivate the hell out of them and have them in the playoffs in 3 years...you heard it here 1st.

 

[cincygrad]

Early word is that Hue will also recruit Marvin Jones to Cleveland. A sober Gordon and a healthy Marvin Jones would be a really good receiving duo.....And they have a good tight end.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Why anyone would want the Browns job is beyond me.

My guess is because the Browns likely pay money to guys for being the head coach.

 

[DanBengalfan]

obviously he thinks that he some room to improve.

there's no where to go but up in Cleveland. think of it, 8-8 would appear to be a huge improvement. Pittsburgh and Cinci generally lose a few stupid games to Cleveland and the Ravens are struggling to stay healthy as well.

he's locked in to Cleveland for at least a few years.

 

[DanBengalfan]

he could also probably get Sanu to transfer over.

 

[DanBengalfan]

he might also trade for one of our QBs if coke sniffer doesn't fix himself.

Browns hiring Hue Jackson

The good news is that some team will get a pretty good offensive coordinator in two years when Hue is back on the market.

True Story.

 

[DanBengalfan]

what's ol' shovel pass bratkowski up to?

 

[cincygrad]

Hue Jackson plans to call plays, not hire an offensive coordinator

I'm hoping he keeps his 2-point package.

I bet it sucks not having Peko at FB
