It seems that Hue Jackson cannot stop talking about his past tenure with the Cleveland Browns.
Jackson made headlines this week when he appeared on Cleveland sports radio station ESPN 850 and claimed that ownership lied to him about the rebuilding process.
Now, it appears longtime friend Mike Silver of NFL Network is joining Jackson in stirring the pot.
This shouldn’t come to a surprise to anyone as Silver has a long history of defending Jackson.
Jackson recently appeared on Silver’s passitdownpodcast.com and talked about the 2017 Cleveland draft.
Silver asked Jackson, “When were you told that Myles was gonna be the pick?”
Jackson replied, “The day before.”
Silver then turns to his cohost and appears amused by Jackson’s claims laughing, shaking his head, and saying, “the day before the draft.”
Before the 2017 draft, then-Browns coach @huejack10 was dug in on Myles Garrett as the No. 1 overall pick. The front office wanted Mitchell Trubisky. He took extreme measures to plead his case. From Ep. 45 of the Pass It Down podcast, with @fatnatsilver… pic.twitter.com/Fmkr8NBOJb

Silver’s history defending Jackson
As mentioned, Silver has a long history of criticizing the Cleveland Browns organization and defending Jackson.
As a professional, it’s awkward that the NFL continues to let Silver give his analysis of the Browns based on his history.
In 2019, ProFootballtalk.com wrote:
“The problem with Silver is that he’s so transparently in the tank for Jackson that he is completely divorced from reality. Silver simply cannot accept the fact that Jackson was a big part of the problem in Cleveland, and that firing Jackson was a big part of the solution.”
Shortly after Jackson was fired in 2019, Silver appeared on NFL Network and criticized Baker Mayfield and said that he needed to grow up.
“I would argue that the quarterback needs to grow up and that somebody in the organization needs to tell him what it is to be a professional, so I’ll just put that out there,” Silver said.
Rich Eisen wasted no time in reading where this criticism was stemming and got up from his chair yelling
“Is Hue around here? Is he here? Hue? Hue, are you here?”
Eisen also did this in front of Jackson’s well known friend Marvin Lewis on set.
After the broadcast was over, Silver seemed to be bothered by the fact that he was called out for his behavior.

Gotta say I love Rich for this.
You and me both..
That Why you Mike Silver are Not in today’s NFL and Hue Jackson was a big mistake in Cleveland!
mike or whoever you are your an idiot. your not professional at all cause if you were your shit wouldn’t be based off of your personal emotions. get off of here your just an over grown cry baby.
Amen,
Your mouth to God’s Ear
And this year we got this!!
It always seemed “Hue” never knew how to use his players to the best of their playing attributes, abilities or otherwise notified as.
I think you nailed it.
1 and 31. End of story
I don’t think hue was the real problem in the land. I’d love to have hue as my OC in cincy. Hes great as a OC that much is proven. HC maybe not but OC any day of the week. Marvin should be coaching too
You can’t be delusional enough to think you were wronged for getting fired after 1-31. The Jets sucked last year and accidentally one more games that Hue did in 2 years while trying to tank.
I used to be a Browns fan until I realized Browns fans have no class at all. Just angry bitter losers in general. They had no talent at all till they fired him. They got rid if all their good players when he signed on. They were losing on purpose.
Just stop lying. You were never a fan. You don’t know shit about the roster those years and you don’t know shit about us actual fans. There WAS talent on those rosters, What happened after we finally fired Hue? Oh yeah, we started winning games with the exact same players. And regarding the fans, our only problem is that we have shitheads like you pretending to be among us.
What’ is so funny to me, is that we are seeing EXACTLY why Hue couldn’t do anything with those players. The man has ZERO sense of accountability. He has thrown any and everyone under the bus way longer than anyone even cares to hear about. How the hell is a man like that supposed to inspire teamwork and a winning culture? Answer: 0-16
Despite Jackson’s plea of the abuse he suffered, when he was replaced with a Defensive Coordinator, and ending with a winning record? That settled it…Hue now looks foolish. I guessed he realized he will never coach this side of High School. He needs to go away, his integrity is gone (if he still had any left). Embarrassing. Cringes…
Keep up the good work ! Nice article, Go Browns. !!
Would someone PLEASE let Hue in on what his record was! Dear Lord…why to we acknowledge him. Go away Hue.
The Brown fanbase are known pricks since you were created in 98. Unlike the purple browns of Baltimore. Hugh Jacksons best player was Terrell freaking Pryor. Enough said. You cut every veteran who was making anything to roll over cap space for the future. Except for Joe Hayden who was hurt the whole time and all too quick go to Pitt. They were losing on purpose. And when they finally got a flock of allstars to develope, they fired him. And then Baker wants to act like a little girl cause he took a job in the obly place that would have him after they butchered his reputation. Facts. Now, you still have no superbowls, no conference championships, or even division titles. You are not the Ravens. Still the factory of sadness. Lol
Browns fan base been around a long time lot longer then the purple browns (ratbirds) fan base!
2016 roster Hues first year, joe Thomas,joel bitonio, christian kirksey, joe haden,joe schobert, danny shelton, jamie collins, cody parkey, Carl Nassib, Rashard Higgins, Cameron Erving, Duke Johnson. all these guys starters on the browns or other nfl teams. except joe Thomas he retired otherwise he would be a starter.. 2017 we added Miles Garret, JC tretter, kevin zeittler. jason Mccourty all still nfl starters.
but hue had no talent to work with???? right!?!?!?
Hugh Jackson was a good coach with a sad organization. Feel bad for him.
Jackson a good coach are you serious the loser was Jackson had no clue about talent & why do we entertain his opinion we have a good football team & a coach that certainly forgot more than Jackson ever knew & for Ravens fans running there mouth if I remember correctly Pittsburgh won the division & we was in playoffs & should have beat Kansas City if it wasn’t a cray rule about fumbling through the end zone & Baltimore has a quarterback that won’t succeed I would take Baker Mayfield over ANY QB in AFC North & we have one of the best RB & offensive line & awesome receiving group also & our defense is coming I predict we sweep the AFC North this season
