Hue Jackson fired!
 

I was watching First Take - they're literally in the middle of a conversation about firing Hue Jackson - and the woman comes in with breaking news that he's fired. Hmmm - hopefully this doesn't fire them up.

Dammit, why couldn't they wait a week?

Like its gonna be some sort of a rally cry?

When one for the gipper or something?

Chiefs roll...

He's led them to their best record in years this season. But yeah, he's not head coach material.

My only worry is that I anecdotally feel like teams very often win their first game after a mid-season coach firing. It's like they put away all of the bad stuff and just go play. Then they fall apart after that first game. So we need to be wary of a trap.

...why didn't they just fire him before the season?

Jesus what a dumpster fire that organization is.

I don’t think they rally around Todd Haley.

One of the many pretty good position coaches who never should have been a head coach.

Much less get a second chance at a head coach position.

Much less be given the hardest team to coach in the NFL.

CRAP!!! The Browns are going to be fired up now. We’re only gonna beat them by 20.

Hope ReTodd has fun losing!

Are they making Toad the interim head coach?

Yeah, we're all wiping our brow in relief, escaping the Bronco offensive. But I think both their offense and their defense are capable of outperforming the Broncos' respective units in the right situation.

The Browns are a buttload of random talent in need of direction, and they've been put through some forging fires recently.

Shit - Al Saunders in on staff there too!

They're gonna make Haley the interim HC and they're going to beat the Chiefs.

ROFL

A former HC who was fired and a guy that was never given the chance even though he thought he deserved it?

Ouch.

This is not good news for us.

Stupid.

If Jackson was on the bubble, there's no sane reason to bring him back after his last 2 seasons. Just another example of how dysfunctional the Browns are.

I think Mayfield could be good, but Cleveland is going to ruin him.

So it is now officially Haley-Dorsey-Mayfield Week?

Not sure why they waited until week 8

Todd Haley the new Head Coach?

I am legit worried about this.

Could be like the Romeo Crennel win over Aaron Rodgers when he took over.

We need to kill these guys fast on Sunday.

THE TODD HALEY ERA HAS BEGUM!!!!

It was the only way to beat KC. Hue is the human sacrifice that guarantees them one free win.

Haley wants revenge

but wont get it

Legit worried? Seriously?

This is laughable.

It will have no effect.

Chiefs by 14

Hopefully Mahomes and the rest of the offense are sharp next Sunday. Browns will be extremely motivated. Chiefs gotta bring 40+ points this time.

So whats gonna make the Browns so extremely motivated?

Why are you guys so ****ing scared of Todd ****ing Haley?

He's one of the biggest dipshits in the entire NFL.

A blowhard who talks shit all the time and puts on a good "tough guy" coach act, but has no redeemable coaching or leadership skills.

lmao c'mon guys

The Browns are a mess. Baker is talented but turns the ball over a bunch. The offense can toast any defense.

Canning a guy who has gone like 2-100 as a head coach is not going to fire them up enough to overcome this Chiefs team.

3-36-1 record and he gets fired? Is nobody safe anymore?

I was at Haley's last game as Head Coach...

i'm not worried if he's named HC, but I doubt Dorsey does that. I think its Williams.

According to NFLN - this is all about a huge beef between him and Haley that blew up this week. SHOCKED!

Didn't we beat the undefeated Packers the week Romeo Crennel got promoted to Interim Head coach? ughhhh...

Packers should hire Hue as their OC.

I think it's the whole "any given Sunday" mentality. Every NFL game is tough and somewhat of a crapshoot. This just adds another emotional wrinkle to that for the Poop Browns.

That being said - Chiefs by 17.

Why Hue why not Hardly?

But they will get the discipline hue refused to give. Rumors that players were showing up late to meetings, not following dress codes, etc... I think the browns hoped to ride hue out for the season knowing they'd fire him. Hues dumb comments about playcalling forced their hand. Now theyre in an uncomfortable spot where Dorsey probably has to promote one of the two coordinators, which I can't imagine he wants to do.

Yeah, I just don't think the Chiefs have the mentality of taking any game for granted. They trust their gameplan and their talent and have a lot of confidence, but they use that confidence to boost their effort, not to coast. If this were a team full of lackadaisical doofuses, maybe I'd be a bit worried. But it ain't, so I'm not.

Chiefs by 71!!!

My money is on Williams too.

But i hope it's fat ass O-line coach. That would be hilarious.

I'd take him as DC. Then again, I'd take Santa Claus as a DC over father time right now.

haha, it's like it's scheduled

Schefter is saying Al Saunders may be the head coach.

Before Mahomes I would have been worried about a letdown game. But not this Chiefs team.

Makes sense. They need someone level headed. Williams and Haley are not that.

He'll finally get his revenge on Carl Peterson and Lamar Hunt!!!!

The hard part about promoting anyone is if you don't want them next year, you have to demote them (which means you lose them). Sounds like mularkey may be a target and honestly it's not the worst option for a rebuild. If you're looking for a 1 year fix another creative strategy is to promote AL Saunders with the clear objective of hiring a new head coach next year.

Imagine having battered fan syndrome bad enough that you're scared of the Todd Haley led Browns.

The browns have been good enough this year that with less sloppy play and less idiotic late game management, they'd be winning games. A new coach cleans some of that up. I'm not at all scared of that. But I do wish it happened next week instead of this week.

And say goodbye to all the MAH HUE JACKSON references I was going to lay out this week

No matter who the coach is Mayfield is a turnover machine that takes a ton of hits and their defense while having some talent is very up and down.

They gonna back the Brinks truck up to Urban Meyer....

I guess people just plain overlooked the end of my post.

You know, this part:

ROFL

Do the Browns have anybody on staff that isn’t an ex-Chief?

WTF is a Senior Offensive Assistant? Does that mean that Haley was over Saunders???? LMAO

LMAO They gave the job to Saunders?!? Good lord, Haley can't even pull off power plays properly.

It's the brownsiest thing to do so maybe. He'd be a horrible nfl coach.

How about Baker’s old coach Lincoln Riley?

That roster is dis functional already. Haley won’t make a difference. Who’s gonna cover everything we have?? Not the Browns!

Good move by the browns. Will haley really be upset about it? From hard knocks, seemed he was most fired up about hue being too soft on players, and hes right. Shouldn't be an issue with Saunders.

Not sure Haley wants to be HC. He just didn't want Hue screwing around with the offensive play calling. He won that "power play".

He's the other guy I had in mind...

Oh absolutely but I def. think they're gonna try and go for a "buzz" hire and I think he'd evac Ohio St. at the first chance.

Collin Cowturd is calling for Lincoln Riley to go to Cleveland

Are you kidding? He's the best golf coach in the league.

Nick Saban??????

I think he's a solid coach. As in... Coaching players, not playcalling. Shouldn't be a head coach. Shouldn't call plays. But disagree that dude can't coach players.

You ain’t seen nothing yet. Just wait until the playoffs start LMAO

He basically made DJ into a hell of a player and made Bowe all that $$.

We took the best shots from Bill Belicheck in Foxborough and it came down to who got the ball last. We beat Denver playing their best football. Twice. It's time to accept that Mahomes has changed the fortunes of this franchise and let go of your past fears.

Al Saunders, now that's a blast from the past.

Kliff Timothy Kingsbury (born August 9, 1979) is an American football coach and former quarterback.During his playing career, Kingsbury held and currently holds many Division I (NCAA) passing records, and won the Sammy Baugh Trophy in 2002


Pat Mahomes and Andy Reid are bringing the college attitude to the NFL

Got to admit, I'm a bit more concerned now but I'm basing that on the gambling trend of betting on teams that fire their coach before a game. However, 3 things calm me

1. PMII

2. Bernie from Weekend at Bernie's named interim HC

3. Browns already had a game they were super amped and pumped up for. Week 1. They got a less than elite Steelers team at home and got 5 turnovers. And could only tie.

You knew it was coming.

It would be like Brad Stevens and Gordon Hayward with the Celtics.... intersesting

I had hoped that Reid would bring him as qbs coach or to backfill Childress' role as special assistant. I doubt any team would bring him as an oc just yet.
