Hue Jackson isn’t the only one cleaning out his office in Cleveland. The Browns have also fired offensive coordinator Todd Haley, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter).

Initially, when Jackson was fired, it sounded as though Browns ownership had chosen Haley over Jackson in the wake of their rift. As it turns out, both men have been told to pack their bags.
Haley delivered results as the Steelers’ offensive coordinator, but his brash personality has been both a positive and a negative throughout his career. In Cleveland, his approach clearly did not jibe with Jackson, and his results did not inspire confidence among the Browns’ decision makers. This year, the Browns have averaged 342.4 yards per game, good for just 24th in the league. Meanwhile, their 65 offensive penalties (2nd highest in the NFL) have cost them 511 yards.
To replace Haley, the Browns have promoted assistant Freddie Kitchens to the interim OC role. Meanwhile, defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was promoted to head coach, replacing Jackson.
Dance party
Ty Lue, Hue, Haley all gone.
More work to be done.
yet the indians won’t get rid of van burkleo or willis /:
The Indians should fire Francona for solidarity 🙂
argh have to think the players are just gonna phone it in from here.
I’m thinking the exact opposite. No more drama and a chance at a clean slate with a new regime. That should motivate most of these guys.
Bob Wylie all the way HC
Fire his butt, too!
Have BAKER call his own plays !
Had to fire them at separate times to keep from having a fight break out in the parking lot!
The parking lot attendants will be too worried about their own job security to take sides.
Great entertainment for a Monday! I look forward to more!
The groundskeepers and team mascot are going to lay low until the bloodbath is over.
the Browns figured out Haley a helluva lot quicker than my Steelers did. well played Cleveland, well played.
Haley is a jerk. Constant conflict every where he goes. Good riddance. I came to realize screwy hue is not a smart guy. The video clip of him telling baker he would be 3rd string….”you earned it….blah blah”. AYFKM? No awareness.
