I will probably be spending time over the course of the next few days combing through a new article written by Seth Wickersham for ESPN that delves into some of the details of the past couple of years in the Cleveland Browns organization. If you read the article, you’ll know why, because some of it is—well, actually, about what you would expect for a team that won one game over two full seasons.
The part I want to focus on today, however, is the rise and fall of Hue Jackson, who was the Browns’ head coach for exactly 40 games from the start of the 2016 and the middle of the 2018 season, during which he was fired unceremoniously mid-year.
