First, let me start by saying, when the Cleveland Browns announced they were hiring Hue Jackson as their head coach, I was very excited. I thought finally the Browns might have gotten it right, they are hiring a guy that has had some success in the NFL, and a guy who knows how to break in young quarterbacks.
Since then Hue has managed to lose every game he has coached with the team except one. He doesn't seem to mind losing and his play calling inspires losses in the NFL. To me, Hue looks clueless out there.
Yesterday's loss in London sealed the deal for me. I have come to the realization that Hue Jackson needs to be replaced, and I know it's hard to do it mid-season, but if I owned the Browns I would fire him today and replace him with one of the other coaches until I could find a real head coach.
The Browns lost to the Vikings in London by a score of 33-16. The team is an international joke with a record of 0-8 this season following their 1-15 record last season. The team shows no pride and they don't mind losing, at least that's what I take away from Hue.
He says he still has Haslam's support, even though he is 0-8 this season. That too is a joke. The main problem is, who in their right mind would want to come and work for an organization that has no one in their front office that knows a thing about football players?
The Browns suck at talent evaluation and have wasted more first round picks over the last 18 years, that any team in the history of the NFL. I know the revolving coaching door isn't good for the team, but either is having Hue Jackson as head coach.

Play calling , clock management, I’m sorry God , and Joe Montana couldn’t win with this team , he has receivers that can’t catch , or are lazy , running backs that can’t hit a hole , I understand this team plays for Draft picks , but If you don’t have anyone that knows talent , you’ve already lost ..
Gotta agree with Bruce on the receivers. With Coleman out, the only playmaker they have is Sir Duke. He needs more touches. Did Deshone have any turnovers in London?
Yes, LG, I agree with you. 8 games into the season and the team lacks discipline and leadership. Two areas that is Hue’s responsibility. First above all the hardest job is who do we get to coach this team. Who in their right mind would want to chance to go thru a revolving door. Kizer will never be a starter in the NFL. He may be a nice guy but does NOT have what it takes to be a quarterback. Haslam has the hardest job to do. Who wants to work for him much less this team. I can’t even stay awake during a Brown’s game, and that is bad. The receivers other than Britt seem to try. If your not 8 feet tall with 6 foot arms you cannot get the ball. I usually have some ideas what to do, but like many other fans, WE ARE DISGUSTED. LG, you want a difficult job, write a article what is right about this team. YOU CAN’T DO IT!
Marty, I really thought Hue was going to be a better head coach than what we are seeing and the play calling leaves very little to be desired…..
You know I’m going ti disagree, right? I’ll admit you have some decent points but I have no idea what makes you think he doesn’t mind losing or that the team shows no pride. They competed hard the last couple of games & could have won with a break or 2. 0-6 teams that have no pride get smoked. They are still competing. The only real question is are they better than last year. Have they improved? A pretty low bar, I’ll agree. But that’s what has to be judged. Are they getting better? That’s what the Haslams have to figure out & it’s not an easy call right now. Hue at least deserves the rest of thew year & I’d give him next year as well.
G yes in the first half of yesterday’s game they did look like they were competing hard. But in the second half they did what they always do. They stink at making half time adjustments and unfortunately they have for years…..In my life time I’ve never seen a team this bad for this long. It’s crazy……
Well here we go again Sports 360 mentioning we need to change coaches?
I have to agree and again I think Jon Gruden should come in as coach and GM and put a huge bonus in his contract if the Browns make the playoffs and a bigger one if they just get to the Super Bowl
You got to pay if you want to play with the big boys
I really think Gruden is over rated. He hasn’t coached in years and when he was successful, it was because he took over teams that others have built….
Well you are right, ESPN sure rates him with a big fat payday and he has some history both good and bad? I am just looking at the field of potential candidates that could possibly turn the corner for this team and his name keeps coming up above the others. We don’t need a fresh from collage to NFL coach or one of the long time losers out there? There are a few others like Ryan, Fisher, Del Rio and even Smith of those that may be available?
If I could not get Gruden, I would go after Ryan or Fisher first?
I just don’t know what to think anymore with this team. They have screwed things up for so long, even with a new coach it could take 4 years to turn the corner…..
Fisher? Jeff Fisher? May he never roam an NFL sideline again. Finished with, what, 7 straight losing seasons? Hue’s taking heat after 1 1/2 with the most dysfunctional franchise of a generation. One off the great mysteries of life is how Fisher stayed employed all those years.
remember when he got pissed off at Bernie Kosar for his comments during a pre season game? That helped Bernie to get removed from the broadcast team……
Can’t blame Hue for screwing to the McCarron deal. It may be a bit of serendipity as I’m not sure that was a good deal for the Browns but, man, does it make the FO look inept. Again. Pretty sure it’s a different group but this has to rank up there with taking TRich # 3 overall.
to screw a trade deal surpasses the T-Rich pick at number 3 in my humble opinion. It’s difficult to believe this could happen, but it can only happen to the Browns LMAO…..
Or
It’s fitting that all this happened on Halloween, because it’s scary how a trade between the NFL’s two Ohio-based teams vanished. Like a bad jawbreaker candy, the more that comes off the surface, the worse it tastes. The newest lick indicates the Bengals might be the ones who fouled up the deal for quarterback AJ McCarron, not the Browns, as numerous prior reports indicated.
According to Mary Kay Cabot of the Plain Dealer, the Browns held up their end of consummating the trade that would have landed them McCarron. It was the Bengals who erred.
Cabot tweeted that the Browns sent a signed document to the Bengals to sign and submit to the NFL, confirming the trade. Cincinnati, however, sent in a document signed by only one team.
This flips the blame from Cleveland to Cincinnati, though at this point it’s safe to say both sides share in the inability to get the deal done in time.
It also calls into question the method for the NFL to get the information to validate the trades. With all the advances in technology, it seems like there is an easier way to finalize these deals.
I wonder if we will ever know the real story G???
I miss Bernie. He was the best reason to watch Pre-season games. Dude was not boring….
I recall doing everything possible not to miss him……I even made sure to take my wife to dinner where they had the games on so I wouldn’t miss him….LOL
