Cleveland Browns say they 'welcomed' NFL inquiry into tanking claims made by former coach Hue Jackson

[Dutch Oven]

Did Hue bring this up again, or is this all happening because what he said (and I thought backpedaled off of) months ago?

Hue is an idiot, but I don't (and correct me if I'm wrong) think he's starting this talk up again.

Exactly. Hue didn't say anything....bunch of these dudes are just triggered by his mere name being mentioned. Truth is.....of course the Browns were tanking but that's not unusual. The unusual is the announcement by the league because from a legal standpoint...the Browns did something that was too obvious to be ignored

The best thing Hue ever did was jump on lake Erie

The high picks were nice too

Triggered. Hardly.  It takes a bigger man I guess to tell folks you weren’t good 

He STARTED this whole thing. 
 

What did the Browns do that was highly unusual?  Start a young QB? Stockpile draft picks? Drop passes Week 17?  Miss kicks? Block FGs? 
 

The coaching/leadership dysfunction was on full display when “Hard Knocks” came into the building.   I’m surprised he didn’t come out an attack HBO for putting him in a negative light.

Nope.  He opened up his flapper yet again.

I'm surprised that he's still at Grambling after his recent attempted hire.

Yes Hue!  The Front Office was tanking.  So were you.  But they were doing it on purpose!  - Mr. Bubble Screen on first and goal from the 1 in OT against the Steelers.

Clueless Jackson went 3-36-1 when he was the Browns HC. My question is, if they were doing a tank job, then how did Greg Williams go 5-3 in the last half of the year with the same players that Hue had?

And, if he was such a good coach that was being told to tank by the Browns, then why didn't any other NFL team offer him a HC job after the Browns let him go? Why is he not in the NFL anymore and is instead coaching the University of Phoenix Online team or some other fuckin' Division 2 team?

sucks for grambling state

but then again this is old news

Surely he can make a 4-7 team into a 2-9 one overnight, right??

Don't they have to tank to send bad players into the portal???

NFL concludes that Hue Jackson's tanking allegations against Browns cannot be substantiated

After an independent review, there was no evidence to suggest Cleveland incentivized losing in 2016-17
