As the Browns continue to rack up losses, there’s been more and more discussion about possible changes to the coaching staff. Things really started to heat up after last week’s game, when coach Hue Jackson publicly questioned offensive coordinator Todd Haley. Jackson and Haley have done their best to downplay the feud, but it’s clear there’s some dysfunction there. Ian Rapoport vaguely hinted at possible changes that could be coming soon before the team’s loss to the Steelers today, and now we have even more details.
It’s quite possible we see the “firing of offensive coordinator Todd Haley and/or head coach Hue Jackson, if the team continues to lose games” sources told Pat McManamon and Dan Graziano of ESPN. “Jackson and Haley have been at odds, and their respect for each other is not good enough for the team to be successful” a source said.
The source also added that “any decision the team makes would be with [Baker] Mayfield and his development as the highest priority” and that “it’s hard to know which way Browns ownership would lean if it had to choose between Jackson and Haley.” It’ll be interesting to see who wins the power struggle between Jackson and Haley, and right now it seems totally up in the air.
While the two clearly don’t get along, Jackson would have to go owner Jimmy Halsam in order to get Haley fired, and “Jackson has not yet brought it up” to the Haslam’s, according to McManamon and Graziano. The article makes it clear that GM John Dorsey’s primary concern is not harming Baker Mayfield, and he could ultimately decide that any in-season coaching change would be bad for Mayfield’s development. There could be changes as early as this week, so stay tuned.
Should be fired tomorrow….interim Williams to the end of the season.
They should at least offer Mary Kay Cabot a job interview.
Wait, why not me?
I see a future for you as the Brown’s next team mascot.
They’ll all be gone at the end of the year. Hue never has had a chance with this team. Dorsey will hire his own guy at the end of the year.
He’s had one this year and done what? Sorry I don’t care how bad a team is going 1-31 over 2 years should not mean a 3rd year
They should’ve let him go after last season and started all new this season with QB, OC and HC.
Should settle this feud the “Deerhunter” way with a Russian roulette faceoff at midfield that fans can bet on. Whoever isn’t killed mercifully with a bullet to the brain has to stay on and coach.
Just fire Jackson, already.
Jackson should be fired, but Haley’s time is ticking too, but this team has the potential to win more games than they are, but they are not discipline at all and that starts at ur head coach and down
Run on sentence with three “but’s.” Impressive.
Honestly the first I’ve seen this too
Haley not the long term solution but he’s the answer of riding Browns of coach egos toxicity
Dorsey better get some balls and fire Jackson.
It would have to be approved by Haslam.
Haslam needs to fire himself
Surprised he wasn’t fired by the feds for the crimes committed in his business…
