    Hue Jackson is the embodiment of two things being true at the same time.

    We can all agree that those rosters were laughably bad. Those teams were setting up to tank about as intentionally as possible. But, this doesn't mean that Hue wasn't an awful coach too. From "trust me on this one" Kessler to "I can mold him" Kizer, his then claim to fame of being a "QB whisperer" went up in flames. He made mind numbingly stupid decisions during the game that while they don't come to mind objectively hindered wins. This is a burning a bridge, I guess he really must be okay with lacing them up. I just hope he takes a long look in the mirror and realizes if he was a good coach, he would be on a staff right now. Very telling he's been out of the league essentially three years and is now planning this book.

    He isn't wrong about the analytics vs football.

    That's the only way I can explain selections like Erving, Coleman and Ogbah.

    I am not going to get in to old debates about various draft selections, but Hue wasn't right about shit.  The guy is a stain and it's a shame he can even in a round about way associate with the Browns.

    There was a very good and in depth ESPN article on the Browns and what went on inside around two years ago. 
     

    It made it explicitly clear that Hue as well as Sean McDermott were told exactly what was going to happen. The FO voted 4-1 to hire McDermott and Haslam still went with Hue. He knew exactly what he was getting into he just thought he could win games along the way, he couldn’t.

    What publisher is it that's wasting their efforts on Hue's book?  I mean, who the hell is gonna read the damn thing?  It's not like he went on to accomplish anything?

    I think the Browns - for what they trying to accomplish back then - nailed it out of the park when they hired Hue. 

    They were in full tank mode. I can't think of a better head coach to hire than Hue to help this proceed successfully.

    Remember the game that he decided to put Kessler back in as the starter?  Kessler was doing a lot of check downs...being conservative...because guys weren't open downfield...but he actually had us in the lead at the half...by a FG or something.  Well, The QB Whisperer had wanted Kessler to throw the ball downfield, so he benched him and put McCown in.  And McCown, like the good soldier that he is, threw the long ball...and was picked off 2 or 3 times as we lost the game going away.

    Remember how Dorsey had to trade away Carlos Hyde so that Hue would play Cubb?

    We should write our OWN book about Hue!

    And don't forget his war room fist pump when we picked Kessler.

    It was apparent he never really had the team (players and coaches) during Hard Knocks.  I don’t think anyone believes Hugh is a good head coach and a victim of circumstances.

    He should be disappointed though with his lack of QB development with the Browns.  I mistakenly supported the hire because I thought he would at the very least settle the instability we had at the position

    He’s a distant memory.

    Oh, man. I almost forgot that. I guess it's my memory trying to prevent more harm...

    I distinctly remember Baker not buying anything from Hue. You could see it on his facial expression. And I have never seen any rookie QB having that stare at his HC. And it was not only that Baker was cocky, but everyone saw him as a walking dead who was going to get booted sooner than later.
