BEREA, Ohio -- Joe Thomas supports the return of Hue Jackson as Cleveland Browns coach.
"I'm excited for it," Thomas said Thursday as the Browns prepared to face the Steelers in the season finale on Sunday. "I think Hue really hasn't been given an opportunity yet to prove what kind of coach he is."
Vintage Thomas, whose optimism and upbeat attitude allow him to analyze the Browns past two seasons and be complimentary and understanding of both Jackson (who entered the finale 1-30 in two seasons) and Sashi Brown (now no longer with the Browns).
