Hue Jackson, Todd Haley Fired by the Cleveland Browns

It never should have taken John Dorsey this long. Hue Jackson never should have coached this Browns team a single game this season. Hue Jackson won ‘one’ football game in two complete seasons in Cleveland. Let’s be clear here, because I’m on the verge of wanting Billy Donovan fired as the OKC Thunder head coach and he’s won 55, 47, and 48 games in his three previous seasons in coaching the Thunder.

Coaching at the major league level in professional sports is a performance driven occupation. A very highly paid occupation I might add. I don’t give a shit if Hue Jackson and Billy Donovan are the two nicest guys to ever walk the planet humming ‘Que Sera’ hand in hand.

This is about winning.

This is about changing the loser culture of the Cleveland Browns. There are no doomed teams in professional sports. The Browns are not a doomed sports franchise…just a shitty one because losing has been accepted for so long.

If franchises were doomed then tell me why and how the Warriors, the Red Sox, and the New England Patriots went from losers to dynasties?

Tell me how that happened?

You know how they did it? They put smart people in charge, spent money, and decided their culture would not be satisfied with being mediocre.

Hue Jackson never should have coached these Browns a minute this season. And Billy Donovan might be nicer than Mr. Rogers, but this is about winning. Winning begats winning.

At some point, some person in charge of the Cleveland Browns had to draw a line in the sand and simply say, “We will not continue to be the worst franchise in professional sports.”

To me…a realistic goal for this Brown season was to win six games. Six was the number I had circled for America’s Team. And I’m going to guess that was close to what John Dorsey had circled as well. Win six games and then draft some better offensive linemen and get another wideout to replace the departed Josh Gordon. I like the defense. They will get better.

There’s no way I see Lincoln Riley in Cleveland. If Riley were to go the pro route I could see him in either Pittsburgh or Dallas, but not with the Browns. Lincoln Riley with Antonio Brown…oh, boy.

So…D coordinator Greg Williams has been made the new offensive coordinator. You know who I would hire as the new O coordinator…Todd Monken the former O State coordinator who is now the coordinator for the Tampa Bay Bucs. Todd Monken and Baker Mayfield would thrive together. Trust me on this. Both are cocky and confident in their abilities. Baker Mayfield would love Todd Monken.

I’m not stunned this happened. Only stunned it took this long.
