We can all be good at this now.

Up next Tour Football, Browns newest QB!

Oh, by the way, you are not my starter. Let me be very public about that so we set the ground rules before you get carried away with this.

I'm hoping we go for Jackson and we make a decision soon before they all get appointed elsewhere.

DeputyDawg

Unless of course they let Lewis go.

Jackson has his interview with the Browns in about 1/2 hour. Had a 5 hour interview with San Francisco this morning.

DeputyDawg

Does that imply the 49ers are his first choice? Or is it normal to interview twice on the same day?

It's not abnormal. You could only speculate on his first choice - I suspect 49ers are because he's a bay area native I think.

Bummer if so he knows the North well and might attract some of their players in FA.

I prefer big hue. I would not be disappointed with that hire.

I trust we both traveled to him??? Interviewing is exhausting enough without sandwiching in a 3/4 transcontinental flight...

Me too Mike! I'm a work in progress with what we need most so I'll share what I like about him above others at this point. His length of NFL experience gives me the impression he'll be able to hire the best group of assistants. And what did we learn about out last coaching staff? Many fans and players seemed unhappy with the group of defensive assistants hired here when it was all said and done.

Next, how long will the assistant coaches that can help our next Head Coach be around/available for the hiring? Hue's season is over today while Patricia's season could go a few more weeks.

Okay so how about a little pep talk about how doable Hue is for Cleveland? What UT booster intercepted a family tradition of Mannings going to Ole Miss with a private jet? Look, Jimmy's made mistakes but this guy LOVES football with a burning desire for his teams to compete or there is simply no such thing as him being THE reason why Peyton Manning chose UT. Now he can sell Hue with the reality that the pick of the litter at QB will be on our doorstep to be protected by the best blind side tackle in football.

There used to be a Morocco Mole on TV.

He hung out with Secret Squirrel

After 3.5 hours with Hue Jackson no offer was made. Now the truth should come out on Marvin Lewis gone or Hue's goes home to 49ers?

Reports are that Lewis is not being fired. Hue received no offer from either the Browns or the 49ers.

Mark O--My gut tells me Natty & players our better with Hue than Marvin Lewis. Time will tell..

Could be right...but all reports are that Lewis isn't being fired.

Also this just came out..

I'm told the Giants are expected to request permission to talk to Hue Jackson tomorrow. But Browns, Niners may decide on 1st choice by then.

Westside Steve

So, you guys want old school Marvin Lewis? Remember how long it took him to make the Bengals respectable. And keep in mind that Andy Dalton was drafted in 2011.

And for those of you who want to choir boys wasn't it under his leadership that the Bengals led the league in felons?

Hummmm

DeputyDawg

Come on Haslam offer it to Hue!

Tour2ma

Oakland was behind us and Cinci was way behind us in accepting analytics... and that was before we went "all in".

Would not seem to make those franchises the most fertile ground for our next HC.

Why? He doesn't excite me that much....for whatever reason.
