Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson deferred to ownership when asked if Hue Jackson should be the team’s coach next season, and then again when asked if Jackson was the right coach for the team.
“It’s not my call,” Johnson said twice. “I like [Jackson], the locker room loves him, but at the end of the day it’s about wins and losses.
“If [firing Jackson is] the decision the Haslams make, then that’s their decision. We support them and this organization 100 percent.”

Now, there’s not a whole lot overtly there on the surface to take away from Johnson’s replies, but it’s interesting when comparing his responses regarding Jackson with those of quarterback DeShone Kizer.
