While Manziel’s days in Cleveland might be numbered, with the Browns' cliff-hanging search for a new head coach finally over, a new era might be beginning in Cleveland.
The Browns hired former Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson as the team’s 19th head coach and successor to Mike Pettine, the team announced last Wednesday, and the hire might be the wisest administrative move we’ve seen from the Browns in years – or at least during the Jimmy Haslam-led searches for a new skipper.
If you compare Jackson’s hiring to just a few of the Browns’ more recent hirings at the head coaching position – at least since Haslam purchased the franchise back in 2012 – it’s not difficult to see why Jackson is prominently different and stands out from the rest of the pack.
