Well hopefully it works out for him better then ,, Well anyone else hired by new incarnation of Browns

 

[Shockmaster]

I wonder if Jackson choosing the Browns shows how utterly dysfunctional the 49ers are right now.

They never offered him the job. There are only 32 openings in the NFL He also doesn't have to relocate his family.

poor guy

Its a 4 hour drive from Cincy to Cleveland (250 miles)

You really think Hue Jackson is going to leave his family in Cincy and live in Cleveland by himself most of year?

 

[Roboturner913]

Good hire. I really think he's got a good chance to do something there. The guy is an offensive guru and he's got his choice of whatever QB he wants in the draft. It's a good position to be in.

49ers backed off of Jackon per reports.

You really think Marvin Lewis is going to leave his family in Cincy and live in Cleveland by himself most of year?

A lot of coaches do. Its easier to move your family 250 miles compared to S.F. or N.Y. Plus this all but assures that Cleveland takes Goff. Good luck to Hue. I honestly thought he'd end up in New York.

 

[GKJ]

Most coaches barely make it home as it is. Wake up at 5am, maybe get home by 10pm. Maybe.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Well he did make a smart move already. Moving on from Johnny Goofball.

 

[Terry Yake]

still think the raiders were absolutely stupid in firing him after one season

easily one of the brightest minds in the NFL today. if there's anyone who could make a different in cleveland its jackson

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Its not all roses with him. He has his warts. It will be interesting to see how it works out. Maybe he learned from his flame out in Oakland.

Maybe I'm confusing him with someone else, but wasn't Jackson someone who stubbornly tried to run the ball too much in a passing league when he was in Oakland?

 

[Hasbro]

So Hue is caught in the cycle of abuse and will only head coach for the worst owner in the NFL.

 

[Voight]

Sounds like hes got full control over football matters. Its getting to the point where nobody will take the Browns job without some sort of front office power.

Have a gut feeling he'll be the first one to last more than 2 seasons. He was great in Oakland, people forget his dismissal had more to do with the regime change than his 8-8 record.

I think it had more to do with his personnel decisions and the death of Al Davis.

The guy who traded a 1st and 2nd for Carson Palmer?

 

[BigMac1212]

Johnny Football better pack his bags right about now...

 

[Avs_19]

He's a good coach and deserved another HC job but I wouldn't give him full control.

It's the Browns so something will probably go very wrong but it's not a bad situation. There's a lot of talent on the defensive side already and they have the 2nd overall pick. He can pick his QB and add more talent with those high picks.

I'm curious about what happened with the Niners. It went from him being the favourite and some reporting it was almost a done deal to both sides going in different directions.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I think Dirk Koetter happened. Apparently both sides came away impressed from the interview Saturday. The Browns made the first move so props to them. Mike Silver said Hue didn't reject any team but the Browns reached out first.

 

[darko]

Good luck Hue

 

[aleshemsky83]

The guy who traded a 1st and 2nd for Carson Palmer?

Palmers a great player, but yeah, a truly awful trade and the Browns are going nowhere if true

Disappointed the 49ers didn't hire him, he was my top choice. I don't really trust Baalke and York to make a good hire with what's left, really hoping it's not Coughlin.

I don't think Coughlin would be as bad as most think. The team is really young and could use a hardass but caring voice like his. If he has the energy then I'm ok with it since he would be able to get a solid staff on offense, which Tomsula couldn't do.
