  • I missed most of the presser, did anybody ask if he planned to keep any of the previous coaches?

    Said he'll sit down and talk to all of them and see if they fit his criteria. If they don't, it's adios. BTW, said he'll sit down with Joe Thomas and try to sell him on what he plans to accomplish.

    Considering his phone was ringing off the hook with top coaching prospects, (supposedly 140+ texts) I don't think Hue will have any problems finding people he wants.

    Another plus of getting the HC in place pronto, we won't be scraping the bottom of the barrel for assistant coaching leftovers this time around.

  • More often than not l don't know a damn thing about our new coaches, but living near Cincyland l actually know this one. I have an opinion guys!

    I'm pleased as punch, got a real high opinion of Jackson. A lot of you have pointed out many of the positives, good offensive mind and such, but he also has a real reputation as a people person. A networker of sorts. One of those magnetic personalities that is able to get people to gravitate to the common goal.

    Strikes me as an ideal trait in this odd dynamic the Browns have him in with moneyball guy, and salary cap guy, and Mr and Mrs Jimmy in this wierd ass mix of people at the top of the Browns' food chain.

    Great hire, I can here the chant already, " Hue Dey Hue Dey Hue Dey says he gonna beat those Bengals.

    Not sure he's gonna draft a QB though. I feel more a trade deal or free agent acquisition on the horizon. Have to wait and see.

    GO BROWNS !!!!

    Dat's funny. Shame you'll never a chance to sing it!

    Shouldn't you still be hiding under a rock with the rest of the mouth-breathing bengals fans?

  • Happy.

    On the other hand, when he was asked about the players he was looking forward to working with - JT, Haden and Paul Kruger. Hmmm...less happy now 😉

    Likely hoping he is a viable option as a 4-3 DE.

  • I think he'd be decent in the role. No coverage duties! Same with Orchard, Bryant & Bosa(?)

  • I really hope Jackson brings in a DC who prefers the 4-3. I think the defensive talent on the team is better geared for it.

  • We will see. New coach. New year. New system. New qb. New personnel.

    Sounds familiar?

  • The response from the NFL community has been overwhelming, and the positive praise is something our franchise probably isn't used to. It's a stark difference from when we hired Pettine, and he was something like our 6th choice. No matter what, it's difficult to spin hiring your 6th choice in a positive light. No, this is different. We got a guy with head coaching experience, and someone who actually wanted to come to us. A coach that knows the division, and someone with tremendous success scoring these things called TOUCHDOWNS. Granted, he had a ton of talent in Cincy, but Jackson is known for his ingenuity.

    Only time will tell if Jackson can provide a different result, but there's no denying a true sense of excitement in Cleveland. Jackson was asked repeatedly about his stance on Manziel, and it was obvious that he wouldn't touch that topic with a ten foot pole...and I don't blame him. Many analysts speculated that Manziel was one of the many bartering items on the table during Jackson's second interview, and it's widely believed that Jackson doesn't want anything to do with him. Again, I don't blame him.

    I've heard the rumor about Colin Kaepernick, and I've readily dismissed it. A new coach with the second round pick in the draft...I think he'll want to pick his own guy (assuming a QB grades out well enough). Jackson also has McCown, who isn't a star, but proved his success in Chicago wasn't a fluke, and can be a decent starter while teaching a young buck.

    I have no beef with Paul Kruger. Looks like his assignments were changed up last year, but the year before he kicked ass. No reason he can't be successful in the right program. Maybe a little expensive but what the fuc.

    I can't wait til Manziel's gone. It's such a shame that such a bad player with bad work eithic and so many personal issues is still the center of attention. We don't need that here anymore.

    Looking at Sheard, a homegrown talent who we gave up had incredible success with the Patriots - I hope that turns out to be the case for a lot of the current players on our roster, including Kruger.

    Kruger doesn't really have any trade value, but I think he can still be a good player if used correctly.

    Agree. There was a large part of me that wanted to give him another chance, bring him back, and weather the storm. But...we just don't need that. Hue deserves a new start...a fresh start.

    If we don't take a QB at #2, then I'd be all in for taking Bosa and cutting Kruger. Save us a bunch of money (I think), and probably no drop off in talent.

  • Article which provides several defensive coordinator possibilities. Schwartz is an interesting candidate...although I always thought he was a douche, LOL.

    Where's the bungles coaches he's apparently brining with him?

  • Really enjoyed the presser

    As good of a feeling as you can have after one. But they all come in with good intentions and a solid game plan. Putting it into action and changing culture is a different story

  • This whole search was so much more professional than the last one, it can't even be compared.

    Watched the presser and as impressed as most of you, Sashi was incredibly nervous!

  • With all todays hirings, I really do believe we've conducted the best recruiting of all teams concerned! And we apparently had the least leverage!!

    Go browns!

    2017 AFC champions!!!!
