Hue Jackson is finally in a position to talk about his firing as head coach of the Cleveland Browns.
In an interview in Sports Illustrated, the former coach explains to writer Greg Bishop what transpired and the aftermath.
Jackson calls the firing, which occurred on October 29, 2018, the worst day of his life. At the time, the Browns were 2-5-1 and had just dropped a 33-18 game against the division rival Pittsburgh Steelers in a game dominated by the Steelers. The loss to Pittsburgh ended a 3-36-1 record for the embattled Browns’ coach.
