BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns may be winless, but they have not abandoned their coach.
Whether that saves Hue Jackson’s job remains to be seen, but the team’s effort since the bye week shows that the players have not quit, which is one measure of a coach’s -- and a coaching staff's -- ability to get through to a team.
“That’s my head coach,” linebacker Chris Kirksey said after Sunday’s loss in Cincinnati. “I wouldn’t want to play for [anybody] else.”
“I think that is what Coach Jackson does best -- is keep us motivated,” guard Joel Bitonio said Monday.
