To the surprise of many at the time, and still to this day, the Cleveland Browns decided to retain Hue Jackson at the end of last season after going 1-31 in his first two seasons with the team.
Many thought that owner Jimmy Haslam – who has been known to not be patient with his head coaches – would go in a different direction at head coach.
With the hiring of John Dorsey as general manager in December, it would have made sense for Haslam to allow Dorsey to hand-pick the head coach that he wanted to lead the roster he put together.
