Who is Hue Jackson?
Hue Jackson is a former NFL head coach, most notably with the Cleveland Browns from 2016-2018. He was the unfortunate recipient of his Browns not winning a single game in the 2017 NFL season.
In his brief stint coaching Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield, the former Heisman trophy winner did not see eye-to-eye with the coach and even went as far as calling him “fake.”
The Grambling State University head coach recently made headlines as he intervened in a lawsuit by former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores against the NFL for racial discrimination. The former Browns coach made allegations that seemed to suggest Browns owner Jimmy Haslam also offered him money to tank games.
Jackson would later refute those comments.
As for the hiring of Art Briles, stay tuned as the uproar may cause the university to quickly go in another direction as offensive coordinator.
