Hue Jackson oddly confident about keeping his job past 2017

Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam got an early jump on his biennial firings last week when he relieved executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown of his duties.

Most reasonable fans expected that as soon as Haslam finished approving the press releasing on Brown’s firing he would start drafting one for head coach Hue Jackson. After all, if Brown was to blame for the team’s woes, then certainly Jackson, the record holder for the worst start by a head coach in NFL history, would be just as culpable.

But Haslam inexplicably threw everyone a curve by not only keeping Jackson and his (now) 1-28 record with the Browns, but also declaring that Jackson would still be his head coach in 2018.
