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

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

    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.

    I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!"

    I think the name "Morocco Brown" would be an excellent handle for a professional wrestler.

    There used to be a Morocco Mole on TV.

  • 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?

    Browns & Buffett: Got to go fishin, Down to rock bottom again, with just a few Friends Team Brotherhood-"It's not about You,Me or I. It's about building We"..Hue Jackson

    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.

  • 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?

  • 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 would anybody want Lewis? Dude hasnt won anything and hes had great players and great teams. A proven loser. And before you tell me he's won more then the Browns. I dont care. One and out every year would be more frustrating then just being bad. At least I know whats coming.

    They know what's coming too, they just pretend like it isn't going to happen every year. "this is the bengals year" "this is the bengals year" "this is the bengals year" "this is the bengals year"

    I think really this should have been the "bengals year" because I think they have some pretty good players going into FA next year - not sure how their money situation is looking or anything like that.

    Really though, Lewis' players failed him this time - it wasn't the other way around.

    If I was the Bengals I would have tried to keep Mike Zimmer and push Lewis to permanent GM role. This year I may try to keep Hue and push Lewis to GM role. But it's understandable why they aren't giving up on Lewis yet.

  • Looks like the giants are scheduling an interview with Hue and the 9ers are planning to arrange a second interview.

    I bet the Giants don't let him out of NY without a deal. Other than dealing with the NY media....I'd take that job over both the Niners and ours.....

  • Things are about to get interesting. #Browns are set to make a big push to hire Hue Jackson, source said. They'd like to close it out.

  • Get Hue. I'd rather have an offensive-minded HC. Plus he has prior HC experience.

    Yup... my gut feel, too. Unless Hue just can't resist participating in a bold experiment.
