Hue Jackson, Todd Haley

This has got to be Hue's last stand. He must have some kinda belief in Haley.  It's not like either are necessarily poo coaches---maybe head coaches---so maybe this time really will be the charm.  With all the picks and talent,  there is no excuse for not showing marked improvement (whether that be four,  five,  six wins,  or even more).

It's plenty of reason not to show improvement...

1) Still no QB

2) Who's the defense gonna stop

If marked improvement is winning a 4 games or less then ok.

 May seem ridiculous but for them I think the standards should be playoffs. Whether it's 10, 9, 8 wins that gets them in, anything less than playoffs and I'd fire Jackson.

It's not like they don't have any highly touted defensive players. I know that they have at least two in the last couple of years.  If Hue can't get a QB this year,  then what's to make anyone think that he'll ever be able to get one? It's not like he hasn't had opportunities.  I realize that technically he wasn't the GM,  but he is the one that is supposed to know QBs.  They have great defensive prospects and offensive prospects,  and that's before the draft.  They need to make it happen, and show better in all aspects of team building and/or maximizing the players that they have.

Couple questions for you guys who live & breath this stuff....

I hear a lot of talking heads praising Hue Jackson, but is he hampered by a completely inept front office and if so...

...why did Todd Haley take the OC job there? And why isn't Haley getting any looks for an HC job?

Because Haley is reputed to be an absolute a--hole to work with. He's good at his job but people who have to be around him can't stand him.

To be honest, that's Jackson too. Hue also has a rep for being willing to stab colleagues in the back to get ahead.

Between the two of them, these guys have enough ego to fill up a small country.

Put it all together and you've got a working relationship that's probably going to be... interesting.

Interesting in the way that a massive train wreck is interesting.

That's a big leap.  We'll see what they do in the off-season.

I'm guessing the Browns are hoping that having guys known to be a--holes as head coach and OC will produce some sort of a--hole synergy that will make them effective together.

Of course, if they just turn their a--holiness on each other instead, well...

    • WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.
    • Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.   
    • In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
