DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Is hue gone part 2 ...

Someone has to ask it ....

Is he our HC next Sunday? ... does he make it through the week? ...

i think he does ... don't ask me how or why

I cant imagine so. You just cant retain a 1 win in 2 year coach.

Please please please someone say YES!

I think he will, largely because Haslam has already confirmed it, and all other teams are trying to avoid firing their coach because this is considered a pretty weak opportunity to add on - there isn't really a hot shot coaching candidate out there, like McVay was last year.

I also think Dorsey is okay with Hue getting another year. I hate what Jackson does on the field, but the players love him and he's a fantastic leader when he can shut his mouth in front of the press.

Dorsey can solve the issues with the playcalling by adding an OC. Frankly, Dorsey can also use Hue as a scapegoat next year, so that might be a bonus for him siding with the continuity.

I really miss Mike Pettine.

Hue Jackson is patting himself on the back after going 0-16.

I want to vomit.

Hue: I don’t think anyone else could have stayed in this job for two years. A lot of coaches would have said forget it.

Maybe he's just a lousy head coach?
Maybe it's one level above what he excells at? It happens. He looks befuddled behind his play sheet.

Regardless, he hitched his wagon to this mess.

...

I will be happy if he is fired ... this guy is a JACKASS .....

Give him a participation trophy...

Participation trophy? Hell, they are throwing him a parade for his work.

Jimmy Haslam confirms that Hue Jackson will be the coach of the Browns in 2018. Haslam did not waver from his initial announcement December 8 that Jackson will return and said that Jackson has provided "great leadership" http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0739236155928614695-4 …

I honestly and beginning to think Jackson is going to be here next year...Haslam is a fool....

if Jackson returns next year its doubtful i'll watch this garbage...and if we do draft another QB jackson will ruin him as his parting shot before Dorsey forces Haslam to get rid of him...

unbelievable!

#Browns Haslam reiterated Jackson will be back in 2018 and he’s working well with Dorsey

nope, Hue is staying right or wrong.

LOL!!!!!!

I guess Haslam has no problem putting Browns fans though another year of misery

Haslam is such an Oaf!

J/C

Should we set the over/under on number of games until Hue gets fired in 2018 yet? If so, what should the number be?

He can go 0-16 next year too!

Who is he going to blame next year!

This guy could screw up Marino, he could screw up any hall of fame quarterback who could have ever played the game.

Nothing overtrumps bad coaching. Nothing!

The correct answer.

If they bring him back after this nonsense then guess he has a lifetime contract!

Rod Marinilli was coach of the Lions when they went 0-16...he was fired the next day.

Really? If people understand the message of disrespect this thing sends, they should be selling it anywhere but Cleveland.

Ehhh, respect. Apparently the Browns care little about it as it's been about 20+ years since they had any.

Sounds like about 15 hours too late.

is he availbale?

It's got to be greater than or equal too whatever hopes next season would provide with the current coach.

well the answer to "is hue gone" is no.

If Dorsey has ANY brains in his head whatsoever, he needs to tell Haslam:

"I want to fire Jackson and hire my own coach, and if you won't let me, then I resign"

Dorsey will have no problem finding work elsewhere, and no other franchise is going to hold this situation against him...the rest of the NFL owners right now are scratching their head thinking WTH is he thinking keeping an 0-16 coach....unreal

Dorsey, if Jimmy won't let you bring in your own guy, you need to resign....you being set up for failure otherwise.

j/c

Haslam, listening to him on radio right now, is unequivocal in his statement that Hue will NOT be fired.


So, we have set the bar of success in Cleveland to the lowest depth imaginable.

ya know, we could be the 1st team to have back to back 0-16 seasons....

Evne the Detroit Lions were smart enough to fire the bums that lead them to 0-16...but it doesn't seem like Jimmy is the sharpest knife in the rack....

There are no standards anymore. The bar was laid on the ground and everyone in Berea walked away.

I'm just numb man. Just numb to hearing what Haslam had to say. His explanation . . . his insistence to stay the course on what is a sunk ship is amazing.

Requirements to be Browns coach

1) Be willing to talk to press
2) Be a "likeable" guy
3) Wear Browns clothing at all public appearances
4) Be able to hire travel planners to accommodate demanding travel schedule of NFL
5) Show up

The rest is negotiable.

Haslam announced Hue would be retained in 2018 at the same time he announced Dorsey as general manager.

I understand frustrations with Jackson, I'm no fan of his, but Dorsey 100% signed off on this at the time that he took the job. Nothing is being forced on him.

If Hue stays, it will get worse

and if the Haslems don't figure it out, or don't care, then the people of Cleveland, if fans, are just stuck.

Well we were not 0-16 and didn't lose our last game of the year to our division rivals backups at that time either...

If I was Dorsey there would be no way in hell i would continue on in that position with the Browns if I wasn't allowed to hire my own guy. things change, he couldn't even out coach the Steelers backups?

no way Dorsey can win with that...either let him hire his own guy or walk....else this will be Dorsey's last job in the NFL if he doesn't.

I can understand if that's what you would do. I'm just saying that clearly isn't what Dorsey wants to do. If he didn't want Hue, he wouldn't have signed on, or he would have made it clear he'd only sign if Hue Jackson was gone.

Sure, the Browns are 0-16, but he signed up when the Browns were like 0-13 following a 1-15 season. I don't think these extra few losses come as a shock to him haha.

I don't see Dorsey issuing an ultimatum to Haslam over Hue. He signed on, apparently, with the knowledge he would NOT get to hire/fire a coach.

Haslam has made that clear.

I'm living in Bizarro World....
