Hue Jackson Hired
-
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.

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

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?

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!
