Canton Mike Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 On the team website now, seems like press conference around 6:30? http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/article-5/Browns-name-Hue-Jackson-head-coach/882f968f-3c93-4b54-ab3f-861b5743a17d I was also waiting for the official word. WONDERFUL news! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkin Eater Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 The veterans defended Pett on several occasions. Maybe because they were guaranteed to be a starter no matter how shitty they played? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Bengal Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 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 !!!! Dat's funny. Shame you'll never a chance to sing it!

And that is what precisely what Hue did (in Oakland), and what Hue does.” I'm excited to see a coach who hopefully won't try to fit square pegs in round holes and will work towards a player's strengths. Now let's see who his coordinators and GM are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Great news! Now I have faith we will start to compete very shortly... OMFG... it has started already... I'd think declaring how we definitely don't want him hurts any trade value that is there Now that is some funny shit right there... ... Trask said. As in the pre-cog, mutant of X-men fame Trask?

D Bone Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Great. Haslam caves and hires an 'Affirmative Action' coach. 2 and out. You still don't have the balls to put in print who you wanted before Hue's hiring.... Just bitching and complaining..... Yup, like I said, no balls.

Pumpkin Eater Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I hope we have the right guy. Marvin Lewis tried to get Jackson to stay by offering him the HC job when he he retired. When is the last time you could say that about the incoming Browns coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jiggins7919 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 It's not too early for optimism. We got a coach that other teams wanted, a guy with head coach experience, and someone who is highly respected. I'm obviously not saying it's time to start talking PLAYOFFS, but optimism suits me just fine. "PLAYOFFS?! PLAYOFFS?!

cuwoohio Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Seems like there's a little more optimism on the board with this hire. It feels better than the last couple, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was wanted by other teams and he chose us. I also like him because it's being reported he wants nothing to do with Billy Vegas...so we can move on from that shit show. He has HC experience and we took a guy from a division rival and we did it early enough in the offseason that he shouldn't have trouble putting together a staff. All in all...I think it's a good hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

browns52 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Jimmy Donovan of WKYC just reported that Hue Jackson is the man the Browns want, and they feel that they can make him an offer. Question is, does he really want to come here? saw a scroll acrosss espn...says the mental midget would have to be gone and the response was they would remove the mental midget.. looks like a complete clean house...sure there will be other players and coordinators gone also....wow....starting from scratch....again...yikes...

He went 8-8 with a lousy Raiders team and they got rid of him for that 12 year old kid that barely lasted a season. He's got the most NFL HC success as anyone we've hired since Mangini.

hoorta Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'm cautiously optimistic about this hire. We've tried everything else- why not bring in a guy who has previous HC experience? Knows the division, Bengals sad to lose him. BTW, does this sound familiar? From ESPN..... "ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Reggie McKenzie made clear on his first day as Raiders general manager that there's a new regime in Oakland. Soon after officially signing his contract to be the first general manager since longtime owner Al Davis' death, McKenzie fired coach Hue Jackson in a bold first move as he looks to give the organization a fresh start. "There comes a time when change is necessary," McKenzie said Tuesday. "For the Raiders the time is now. The Raiders organization, with respect and deference for all its tradition and history, is about to embark on a new era." The era will begin without Jackson, who was fired after going 8-8 in his first season as head coach. McKenzie wanted to bring in his "own guy" to rebuild the organization. When reached by CSNBayArea.com, an angry Jackson said, "(McKenzie) is going to gut this place." "He wants to bring in his own guys. No job is safe right now," Jackson told the website. Since 2002, the Raiders have had six different head coaches and all have lasted fewer than three full seasons. Since the start of the 1996 season, the Raiders have had nine different head coaches, the most of any team over that span, according to the Elias Sports Bureau." Oh- this was the guy who hired Hue- couldn't help this one- the Old Crypt Keeper looked like he already had departed this life..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browns52 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Hue Jackson will make a deal for AJ McCarron. AJ knows Hue's system. i'd take aj in a heartbeat but i find it almost impossible for the bengals to let him go being that dalton is getting older and if he blows another playoff or does not make the playoffs next season aj will be there guy with the way he filled in this yr. Even if the remote possiblility of letting him go, would mean we'd have to give up alot of picks i'm sure and we cannot do that...that is the issue...we need too much, but yet we need a good qb. I'm sure everyone is sick of this shit of a fill in mop up like we have been doing for what seems forever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got the most NFL HC success as anyone we've hired since Mangini. i would have to say you are correct, however we still need a good gm to get him some good players, like a really good qb for instance... we just need so much still., but looking back at the past 3 hires, he would be the best. But i still need to see what his direction is before proclaiming him the turnaround man. I like to see results and he has yet to step on the field...

nickers Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Not to be mean, but if you're disagreeing with me I know I'm on the right path Besides, Marrone (or Marrane?) is hardly an offensive guru, the guy has coached OL almost exclusively. We got Hue and I'm happy about that.. I just think Marrone was a better fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
