Dread it.
Run from it.
Destiny still arrives.
The words of Thanos in The Avengers: Infinity War have become iconic since gracing theaters around the world.
Who knew Thanos was talking about Cleveland Browns fans’ “destiny” being former head coach Hue Jackson?
Just get tired of the BS sometimes. People have no clue. If they would use their brains maybe they would have a better idea of what really went on in Cleveland. Soon enough they will have to account for all of this. Wonder what excuses people will make for then.😂😂😂

Okay “destiny” may be a bit dramatic, but Hue just doesn’t seem to be able to avoid talking about Cleveland.
Perhaps he does play a role similar to one Thanos did in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Hue’s been painted as a villain of sorts since leaving Cleveland, responsible for delaying the start of Baker Mayfield’s career in the eyes of the Browns faithful.
Of course, 1-31 can never be forgotten.
So, why the commotion now?
Media Mayhem
Social media is to thank for so many hilarious, and sometimes annoying conversations we see online each day.
It’s fitting that’s how the latest mix-up between Cleveland and Hue started.
Cleveland sports radio host Ken Carman, on Twitter, mentioned one of the strangest mishandled trades in NFL history that took place (or I guess didn’t take place) between the Bengals and Browns.
AJ McCarron would be shipped to Cleveland in exchange for a couple of draft picks.
An easy, done deal.
Only there was an issue.
Paperwork necessary to the trade was not filed in time.
It’s not every day you hear of a trade getting denied because of a lack of paperwork.
Since that happened right as the trade deadline was expiring, the deal was bombed entirely.
If you read through enough Twitter threads, you’ll find plenty of fans who agree.
So, Hue responds to that tweet (and yes, that is the real Hue Jackson Twitter account) by claiming there is a lot of unknown and false beliefs surrounding that trade.
He goes on to say that “soon they will have to account for all this”.
If you go further down the thread, the “they” he mentions is the ownership group, Jimmy and Dee Haslam.
So now you have a former coach, largely disliked by Cleveland, claiming the owners will soon have to pay some sort of price for whatever shady stuff Hue believes they were involved in.
Jimmy has been linked to a scandal in the past involving his company Flying J, but there’s never been dirt regarding football operations.
What to Believe?
Kudos to those who have become involved in this conversation with Hue on Twitter.
Seeing his name pop up time and time again is starting to get a bit stale.
It’s turned into a very bitter relationship that would be better off just not existing at all.

As for the Haslam’s, maybe one day there will be more light that is shed on that mishandled trade (among other mishaps) in the Hue Jackson era.
For now, fans should be more concerned with the current head coach, Kevin Stefanski, and how he plans to get the Browns to their highest potential.
If Hue wants to spout off on social media, so be it. Cleveland has football games to win.
Well I think Mr Mr Jackson former coach of the Cleveland Browns ought to get over it. He blew it in Oakland he blew it in Cleveland. Some assistant coaches are great as assistant coaches coordinators offensive defensive but when it comes to being a head coach takes a special breed of individual. And 1 and 31 in two seasons pretty much as an indicator of the coach he was and the talent they put together.
Hue can’t look in the mirror & see his face on this one. I don’t care what you say 1-31 worst ever you can’t blame anyone & sure as hell can’t bury it. Worst ever in history!!!!!
Hue Jackson…punk, and loser. End of story. Shut you piehole and disappear forever…
Hue who?
That’s not necessary
Have a little compassion. It is just a game. Hue suffered more than most of us.
Hue the victim.
No doubt,blame others for your downfalls
Hue needs to get a life bottom line is winning in pro football nothing else matters and of story
Yea of early dementia set in after all those years of choking
Is he still coaching in the nfl , if not, he’s blaming the browns for it. The owner of the browns, never hired a good head coach, until he hired the latest one
Hue was a horrible head coach in Cleveland. He made bad decisions and was all about blaming others. Not a good trait in a leader
Who did the Browns pick with the draft choices we did not send to Cincinnati?
Nick chubb was our 2ñd round in 2018 so thank God that paperwork wasn’t signed lol we also got Austin Corbett which who cares about
The same guy who said “I don’t think 2 1/2 years in at Cleveland should tarnish my whole career?! xD Go back to starting Cody Kessler and Johnny Manziel and not let Baker Mayfield take the field……. Hard to think I was as excited as sports stations when we hired him. Lit a dumpster fire for the Browns I didn’t even know was possible.
Hue didn’t get the job done.On the other hand Jimmy Haslam is a meddling owner and loves to be in on decision making.I’m waiting to see how long it takes before he screws up the good thing we have going in Cleveland.
The same guy who said “I don’t think 2 1/2 years at Cleveland should tarnish my whole career,” xD Go back to starting Cody Kessler and Johnny Manziel and NOT letting Baker Mayfield take the field. All while throwing your coordinators under the bus daily. I think he’s upset that the 6-10 Freddie Kitchens season looked like winning a superbowl compared to his time with the browns. 3-36-1………… Lit a dumpster fire I didn’t even know was possible.
I have to look at the film first lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hue couldn’t even jump in the lake correctly!! Loser!!
LMFAO NICE!!!!
Zing!!!
1-31 says it all the NFL is about winning nothing else matters its business nothing personal
He was the head coach that was a while ago get on with your life they say you are a offense genius and not a bad person go get a NFL assistant they are elite to 1 out 10000 could not be a NFL assistant even more so as a head coach you did what most dream about good luck
I’m that guy that burnt all of Hue’s film… go away ya clinging crab…
I believe Hue Jackson was played for a fool. There is no doubt in my mind that the Browns were tanking it for draft picks. When the media brought heat on the organization, Hue was the fall guy. My guess was Hue was promised one or two years after the roster was refurbished to lead the Browns, but higher ups felt too much pressure and used him as the fall guy. I dont know what was on Hue’s contract but I’m sure he was well compensated compared to yours and my’s income. Sounds like he is tired of the scapegoat identity.
Agree 100%, he was the fall guy
O come on
Hue? Wow! The opposite of love isn’t hate ignore what he says and move on. As a Bengal’s OC Hue did a good job but HC wasn’t his calling ask the Raider’s. A leopard does not change spots just locations. Shh Hue and move on man
Tired tiresome tedious tentative Ol’Hue please ride off into that sunset yonder and never be heard from again
The worst head coach in the history of football!!!Wanted to be a play caller and was horrible. No leadership qualities. ..ZERO!!
Gus Bradley was pretty bad too!
Great in a nutshell sum up. and dead on analysis
Oh my… Hue should just move on with his life. There’s plenty of football outside of Cleveland. He should try to ignore social media, which is often cancerous! I would have fired you sooner, Hue, but that would have been business, NOT personal. Good luck in the future, Coach.
He was paid good move on hue
Amen
He’s still blaming others for his failings. Own up to the fact you were a terrible head coach and a marginal OC and your 1-31 record. You’re irrelevant!
Hue is a man of no integrity. He plays the victim card always. Try car sales Hue, football is not for you
As a former car salesman, I am insulted.
Hue Jackson… 😂 1 win in 2 seasons is just plain horrible. He brought such bad luck to the team those 2 years. Delaying Bakers debut and starting Tyrod Taylor was the worst mistake he made. And Baker has all the right in the world to hold a grudge. Hue should wash his dirty laundry and move on. He seems jealous of kevin Stefanski. Cleveland will never have a place in cleveland again simple. Bye Baby Hue
I had personal dealings with Hue when he was with the Raiders in Oakland and I can tell you from experience he is a sham and a Pathological Liar.
News flash…..no one cares about Hue Jackson in Cleveland, nor what ever B.S. he has to say. He’s in the past and will stay there as the Browns continue to get better and better. Enjoy the view from a position of irrelevance Hue !!
Hue Jackson was an fall guy for the owners mistakes anyone with good sense could understand that and think he got a bad rap for alot of things only the owners control
Hue is right. He cannot get an NFL job. Sounds like he is be held accountable for his record and his poor decisions as a HC.
McCarron was never, nor will he ever be a quality NFL qb that you can build a team around. Imagine where the Browns would be today if they made that trade.
Hue should stay off the social media but let’s not forget he had the Brown’s playing well the year he was fired. If not for the kicking game losing 2 games (Steelers and Saints) and HORRIBLE calls by the refs in the Oakland game, he would have had a winning record. Dorsey wanted his own coach he could control and how did that work. Sashi Brown was a horrible GM and where is he now? Hue Jackson was set-up to fail by coaching this team during those terrible years .
Seems like sashi landed on his feet OK after the browns as chief planning and operations officer of monumental basketball .he also hasn’t spent the last 3 years being a whiny bitch on social media.
Amen.
Hue knows, he’s got the secret docs. It will all come out and everyone will apologize.
Hue Jackson you suck as a head coach get over it
I don’t think Hue Jackson is as hated in Cleveland as this post lead you to believe. He did poorly, yes. But he also had the worst roster in the league by far for two of those years. I actually like Hue even though he didn’t do so hot.
I know at one point I think after he left there was the story of how he had dark days because of a death in his family. I forget who. Idk why he didn’t hand over control to a coordinator or someone so he could grieve and get himself back together.
Hue needs to get a life bottom line is winning in pro football nothing else matters and of story
Hie is a dope who will always be a 1/2 rate ASSistant coach. 1 and 31 and none of this is his fault? He’s a joke now, then, and always.
Maybe just maybe if your plan for 2 years wasnt to run up the middle every 1st down…. nevermind… good riddance.
Why doesn’t that lower just shut up and go away? Is he that insecure ? He needs to look in the mirror,take a deep breath,and just say “nobody else to blame-i messed up!” Hue has always been,and forever will be, an insignificant little man that will ALWAYS throw everybody else under the bus….hue,just shut up and go away-you are a disgrace.
I think the final straw wasn’t only not playing Mayfield but we seem to forget about Chubb who was sitting beside Baker on the bench.
It wasn’t until Dorsey traded Hyde before Chubb got into the game.
I really think that was the end for Hue.
Dorsey had a great draft that year and wanted to have these draft pics to play. Jackson wouldn’t play them so Dorsey traded Hyde and fired Hue. It’s that simpler. Oh BTW. Hue record sucked, that made the decision easy.
hue needs to live in the present and forget the past as nothing can be changed in the past.just let it go.
If Hue Jackson had been more interested in making the Cleveland Browns great instead of himself, he might still have a job there. As it is, the only person that should be feeling dread, is the genius who was responsible for hiring an unproven coach for a team that had been in complete disarray for 20 years. That guy is probably the same genius who brought OBJ to the browns. No disrespect to the talent. But a team on the verge of getting it right for the first time in decades should never have brought the biggest problem child in football into the mix. As we all saw, we didn’t need him and we sure didn’t need Hue.
Dorsey traded for OBJ. He wasn’t there when they hired Hue, in fact he wanted to get rid of Hue before they drafted Baker. Hue didn’t want Baker, that’s why he started Tyrod. What a disaster that was
The Video looks fake and played out. Just flip each other off, lol. Better than all the physical altercations people like to show I guess.
I’ve been a Browns fan for along time .The Browns have been terrible for a long time .You can’t blame Hue like the Jets they suck it starts at the gm and owner
There is no doubt that Hue Jackson had a substandard roster. It is pretty hard to explain 2016 1st pick Corey Coleman. Everyone will agree that the Browns’ have drafted horribly. A knowledgeable fan could have done a better job drafting than the assortment of GM’s that preceded John Dorsey. Job interviews go both ways; and, if Hue thought he would be in an untenable position, he could have declined the job. Hue might try to revive his career as an offensive coordinator. There are many ex head coaches who have had success returning as assistant coaches. With some luck, he may get that chance. Hope so for his sake since he has suffered with the stigma or his failed Browns’ experience.
Hue may or may not have been the worst head coach in Browns history but he is certainly in the discussion along with Freddie and, IMHO, Pat Shurmer. Hue had less talent to work with than those other two but it is hard to argue with 1-31. In at least a few of those losses even an average head coach would have found a way to win with a little more creativity or play calling which was designed to win rather than not to lose a game.. The amazing aspect is that Hue wasn’t canned after winning only one game in two years (and he would have lost that one win but for a blocked field goal on the last play of the game). Only in Cleveland! The bottom line for me is that whatever complaints Hue has have zero credibility. He should thank his lucky stars that he had a head coaching position as long as he did with such an historically putrid record.
Boy o boy what a waste of trees and time reading all the whining from Hue. I don’t know the man personally but that sad sack should give it up and move on with his life but be advised that he does not have a future as a head coach in the NFL or even a coach at the Pop Warner level.
Hue’s point is currently moot due to a few reasons. I think what is to come is an inside look to how this ownership works in general, This isn’t about Hue Jackson and I don’t think that’s they way he’s meaning to come across. It’s more of a hey look at what is going on here…..so when Browns nose dive again and hire and fire some may reevaluate Hue’s motives.
