BEREA, Ohio -- Jimmy Haslam clarified Friday that he plans on having Hue Jackson around for a long time, especially now that he's paired him with fellow 'football-lifer' John Dorsey, the Browns new GM.

"It would be a mistake to just zero in on '18,'' Haslam said of his statement on thursday that Jackson would return next season. "We're planning on Hue Jackson being our football coach for a long time and he and John working closely together for a long time."

Haslam knows that some fans and media have questioned why they fired Sashi Brown and retained Jackson, who has three years left on his contract.
