Hue Jackson return...

“I don’t think 2½ years at Cleveland should tarnish my whole career but at the same time people have to know that you are out there and are willing and able to work.”
the first part of this really upsets me and I guess I’m trying to figure out why. A small part of me felt A tad sorry for this guy...mainly because he had Kessler as his QB although he said “trust me on this one” and Kizer a guy not talented enough and definitely not ready at the time and then hearing of Hue’s struggles after he was fired Just generally being down and out.
I think Hard Knocks opened my eyes at just how bad he was and how much the players just weren’t in sync with this guy and coaches didn’t want to fall in line.
But For crying out loud be accountable!!! No one is forgetting your last HC stint anytime soon.

He was exposed as being a phony, a liar and a weakling.

8-8 means "Hue sucked"?

My fav bit from the article... https://www.brownsnation.com/hue-jackson-cleveland-browns/
His other head coaching job outside of Cleveland was with the Oakland Raiders in 2011.
His Raiders started 7-4 but ultimately missed the playoffs finishing 8-8 on the season.
That brings is head coaching record to a pedestrian 11-44-1. How bad is that?
Well, that’s the second-worst head coaching record by win-loss percentage of all-time per Pro Football Reference.
I disagree. A good head coach gets wins. Look what Flores in Miami did this year. That team traded away EVERYBODY that was decent at football and they still won 5 games. Hue needs to accept responsibility.
Agree. It wasn't as if we were blown out every week for two and a half years. It wasn't as if there was never anything to criticize about Hue's playcalling, clock management or, as Hard Knocks showed us, his "leadership" style. This forum was full of his identified shortcomings week after week.
Through Hue's tenure Deshone Kizer, Cody Kessler, Robert Griffin III, Josh McCown, Kevin Hogan, Tyrod Taylor and Baker Mayfield were his starters. Thinking back... how different were our "attacks" under each of these QBs? While most of their skill levels may have been wanting, their skill sets were varied. A good HC, OC, QB "whisperer" would recognize that.
Our talent was not very good... certainly not good enough to overcome bad coaching from a man driven by self doubt.
And as much of a shit he was, going behind people's back, kissing Jimmy's ass, being the "source" of so many articles, the one time he stood up for anyone is when he took the bullet for the drafting of Kessler. That pick SCREAMED analytical-driven pick.
A war room shot caught Hue doing a mini fist-pump when Kess' name was called. I doubt he was celebrating analytics. Yes, analytics were there, too, just as they were every pick of that era along with scouting.
Hue's "trust me" comment was made prior to the season and repeated on Sept. 20, 2016 prior to Kess' first start . So according to you he preemptively "took a bullet?"

I'm saying he was actually being a team guy and presenting a unified front. It might have been the only time.

Fair enough... especially since it was in public.
Also might have been the only pick he fully embraced.

I don't know.... it seemed like Hue couldn't wait to get him off the field, and Kessler didn't play that poorly. If I remember correctly Hue seemed perpetually irritated with Kessler because he would never throw the ball downfield.

And you remember right... but I also remember the lil fist pump when the pick was made. Hue liked the kid, but he was never going to be a fit for the vertical game Hue loved.
And that goes to the point I made about Hue not tweaking his Offense to fit any of the QBs that played for him in CLE.

When you have THE worst record as a HC in NFL for anyone who did not own the team you tarnish your own career by being such a terrible coach. Had nothing to do with Cleveland.

It didn’t take a brain surgeon to pull off that move. Johnny ran himself off the team

Why? He did not have control of the 53-man roster.
