Hue Jackson Hired

[Clevfan4life]

wow, def thought he would sign with the Giants over us. Nice work Jimmy, wonder how much they had to come out of their pockets to nab him.

[SPEK216]

Did we actually get our first choice for once? Wow..

[Clevfan4life]

Will be interesting to see who they bring in as DC. This imo is most important question.

From PFR and Wiki...

Oakland Raiders 2011 staff

Coach: Hue Jackson (8-8-0)

Offensive Coordinator: Al Saunders Offensive Scheme West Coast

Defensive Coordinator: Chuck Bresnahan Defensive Alignment 4-3

WCO does at least give Flip a shot and the 4-3 might put Schwartz in the running for the DC.

Is anything official yet?

no reason to be cheap at this point, what would that get you?

Is it me or does he look like Barry Bonds?

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 !!!!

[jrb12711]

Great Hire, it's great to not only get someone with a track record but to take away a great offensive mind from a division rival. I'm very surprised but very encouraged.

Go Browns!

[bbedward]

Rapoport also says Hue = end of Johnny Manziel in Cleveland.

Even more good news.

Go Browns!

Everything is per sources, but at this point it's definitely official. We're not gonna get Chip Kelly'd or anything.

[CaineDeSoulis]

upon further review. Huey has favored man to man block rather than zone blocking in the past aswell as the 4-3 defensive scheme. Both things i have been advocating for since the beginning of the season

You want fireworks with that? Lol

[Browns1216]

I'm curious to see if Hue would want Pryor as QB, wasn't Pryor QB for the Raiders when Hue was the coach?

"I wasn't even playing in 2011 when Hue was head coach, and you don't always feel a part of things. But Hue made it fun every single time," Browns quarterback/wide receiver Terrelle Pryor said earlier this week. "It would be great choice, I can tell you that."
