Hue Jackson is taking Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam's word he will be back as the head coach next season.
"You got to trust in what he says," Jackson said Monday, per Pat McManamon of ESPN.com. "I know I do. I don't see it any other way, personally, myself. I think what he said is what he meant. That's what I believe, and that's what I know."
McManamon noted Haslam said Jackson would "absolutely" return in 2018 and even suggested he will be the head coach for years to come.
"I think it would be a mistake to just zero in on '18," Haslam said Dec.
