  • Maybe a choice between what the sushi braintrust approves of.

    Regardless I like Hue, I think he gets us closer to Goff.

    No matter who our coach will be Manziel is gone that much has been obvious for awhile now.

  • Well one plus is he'd get to stay in the division so he will know his main opponents well. He is my top choice too. Fingers crossed!

  • I'm on board with Hue..... Lets make it happen

  • Hue feels like a NYG kind of guy...

    And Sashi has say over the 53 man roster... same as Farmer did, but the 46 and the Depth chart has to be the purview of the HC or we won't attract an intern to be HC.

  • Hue Jackson, man wow, who gives a flying fuck. Another loser.

    8-8 as a head coach...so not quite a losing record.

    Who would you like to see them hire dickhead? Or do you just want to keep bitching about every thing this team does? They could win the fucking super bowl and you'd be pissed they didn't win by more points.

    Who's your ideal candidate? I recall you were frequently calling for Pettine's head.

    Just curious.

    I guess he figures if he stays a total pessimist, he'll never be disappointed. πŸ™„

  • I think people are misinterpreting the intended role of the coach that comes in. I think he will to a large degree have more say and power than the "GM". If he didn't he wouldn't be involved in the process of selecting a GM AFTER he is hired.

    remember huE=MC2

    LOL on the huE=MC2

  • Hard to imagine he'd take this job over the Giants job, which is still open isn't it? Anyway, be interesting to know who he'd bring in as the DC since he's more an O guy.

    Some connection he made in Oakland probably.

    I could see Hue keeping Flip as pretty likely - they weren't together in Oakland but close enuff'

    Giants are certainly the most attractive job there is though - hard to see him accepting anything before that interview.

    Agree with your post, but is Hue the #1 choice with the Giants?

  • Hue Jackson has drawn serious interest from the Browns and 49ers. The Giants might get involved too. (Frank Victores, Associated Press)

    CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns remain very interested in Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, but a report Monday night by NFL Network they were ready to "close it out'' was premature, two league sources told cleveland.com.

    The Browns have yet to make an offer for Jackson, and they haven't informed his camp yet that they're ready to do so.

    In fact, the Browns are interested in multiple candidates that they've interviewed. Meanwhile, the 49ers are still very much in the mix for Jackson, and the New York Giants have received permission to interview him. The 49ers have also received permission to interview former Giants coach Tom Coughlin, one of the bigger surprises of the day.

    As of Monday night, Jackson still planned to go through with his Giants interview, but it hasn't yet been scheduled. That could change, of course, if the Browns or 49ers get serious about hiring him.

    Teams are often reluctant to present an offer until they're sure the candidate will say yes. In the case of Jackson, he's interested in all three teams and will seriously consider any and all offers, one of the sources said.

    Jackson's good friend Michael Silver of NFL Network tweeted Monday night "Hue's totally interested in Cleveland, SF and NYG jobs...it's been a long four years-- wants an NFL HC opportunity.''

    He predicted Jackson's situation would be resolved in the next 24-48 hours.

    Browns receiver Terrelle Pryor believes Hue Jackson would be an excellent head coach for the Cleveland Browns.

    Throwing a monkeywrench into the Jackson sweepstakes is the fact that all of the owners -- including Jimmy Haslam -- are headed to Houston for an important NFL owners' meeting Tuesday and Wednesday. The clubs will likely vote on which team or teams will relocate to Los Angeles. Candidates are the Rams, Chargers and Raiders.

    ESPN.com reported that the Giants might fly Jackson to Houston for the interview with owner John Mara, who's on the Los Angeles committee and a key figure in the meetings.

    The Browns also interviewed Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott on Sunday morning and liked him, a source said. Panthers coach Ron Rivera told the Charlotte Observer Monday that McDermott felt good about his weekend interviews with both the Browns and Bucs.

    "We visited a little bit and he felt very comfortable and confident with what he did,'' Rivera said. "He said the best thing now is we have the opportunity to focus in on Seattle (in the NFC Divisional round)."

    Of the seven interviews they Browns have conducted since Wednesday, only former Bears offensive coordinator Adam Gase has been eliminated. He took the Dolphins job on Saturday after interviewing with several teams, including the Giants and Eagles. He was the Browns' first interview and was believed to be one of their top targets, if not their No. 1 overall.

    Fox Sports reported that another of the Browns' candidates, Cowboys defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson, was set to join Gase in Miami, but that hasn't happened yet. He reportedly told his bosses in Dallas that the his meeting with the Browns went well on Friday.

    The other Browns interviews were as follows: Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, Jacksonville assistant head coach Doug Marrone, and Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia.

    If the Browns really liked Patricia or McDermott, they might have to wait awhile. Both are in the playoffs and could go far. If either or both make the Super Bowl, the Browns would have to wait until after the game Feb. 7 in the San Francisco Bay Area to hire them.

    Related: John DeFilippo asked to stay, Jim O'Neil and Chris Tabor were not

    Four Browns assistants have the chance to stick around if the new head coach wants them: John DeFilippo, Kevin O'Connell, Kevin Hafley, and Aaron Glenn. Coordinator Jim O'Neil and Chris Tabor

    If they really like a candidate, it's probably worth the wait. They had a chance to hire former Seahawks defensive coordinator and current Falcons head coach Dan Quinn two years ago, but didn't want to wait until after the Super Bowl. They hired Mike Pettine instead, who went 10-22 in his two seasons.

    Quinn, who went 8-8 in his first season with the Falcons this year, told cleveland.com after the Super Bowl that year that he would've taken the Browns job had it been offered to him.

    In other coaching news, a source told cleveland.com that John DeFilippo was among four Browns assistants who were asked to remain in Cleveland if the new coach wants them. Not included were defensive coordinator Jim O'Neil and special teams coordinator Chris Tabor, who spent five seasons with the club.

    The others asked to stay were quarterbacks coach Kevin O'Connell, secondary coach Jeff Hafley and assistant secondary coach Aaron Glenn.

    Another head coach job could some up soon, creating even more competition for the top candidates. Lions coach Jim Caldwell has been put on notice that his job is on the line.

    So, the Browns might have their man in a day or two -- or it could take weeks.

    It's all a sham. I know he has the giants interview but also heard he has a second with SF.

    Seems like earlier reports were premature ejaculation.
