Hue Jackson is back in football. The former Browns and Raiders head coach will serve as the offensive coordinator for Eddie George‘s Tennessee State staff, as Mike Organ of The Tennessean writes. 
Jackson, 55, has been away from the game since infamous tenure with the Browns. After his Cleveland teams went 3-36-1 across two-and-a-half seasons, Jackson has hardly been able to get an interview for an NFL job. Recently, he went public to try and set the record straight.
“There is no doubt I was lied to by ownership and the executive team,” Jackson said. “They were going to be football plus analytics, but they intentionally made it football versus analytics. They were going to take two years and they were going to find a way to use us as an experiment to make sure that they got the data that they needed for it to get better — at the expense of whoever — and that’s not right.”
Now, Jackson will try to rebuild his stock at the NCAA level. For what it’s worth, he was in the running for the Steelers’ OC position just a few months ago, so it’s still possible that he could mount an NFL return — just not in Cleveland.
Rip Tennessee State
Jackson was an excellent OC. HC…. entirely different story
He did an average/above average job in his lone season with the Raiders so this isn’t a fair statement
6th in points scored for the Raiders in 2010, 7th in points scored for the Bengals in 2015. His average years were 2011 in Oakland and 2014 in Cincinnatti. He’s done some good work.
just like Bill Callahan
RIP indeed. anything goes wrong he’ll throw anyone he can under the bus
Poor kids…
