This was a bad interview. They were basically trying to get him to sabotage the rest of his coaching career. Black men doing that is ridiculous to me. Steven A Smith did the same thing to him. Where is the show were we can talk about the team not having an NFL caliber quarterback until this season. There are 2 coaches who can win with no quarterback. Bill Bellichick and Bill Obrein.

[@Kevin_747]

@ReturnoftheBrotha You brought up race. So since you are race baiting explain why me writing that I think Hue is an articulate speaker is an insult.

[@localppc242]

I hope everyone commenting watched his other interviews. On Undisputed he mentioned that after going 0-16 he questioned his play calling and they brought in Todd Haley. Takes a real man to question himself and question the thing that he does best

[@SuperKJ777]

I thought Hue got a bad deal in Oakland. In Cleveland the team just didn't win. But say what you want, Hue seems like a classy guy. We need more guys like him, everywhere, not just the NFL>

[@cizzlen07]

I agree. A true professional he has my respect for sure. Maybe he could be OC in green bay

[@christophermeyers]

Completely disagree. He has an incredibly huge ego and is trying to save face while the news is hot. I'll admit it takes guts to go out on national tv but hes nothing but a coordinator or a positions coach.

[@chrisdelong9154]

I would prefer more guys like him outside the NFL. He is a terrible at the NFL

[@bcharlz2513]

Don't know why Whitlock is pushing that he didn't manage up. Hue was spot on, in that he was fired for the position of head coach and not for the person that he is. Thats the reason why most head coaches that are fired end up hired somewhere else as either another head coach, or for sure a coordinator position. And also the reason why non of these guys burn bridges. Of course there will be disagreements in these organizations. But they keep good relations and therefore 9 times out of 10 end up landing another position on another team.

[@k.s.6139]

Honestly seemed like his Ego got in the way, he kinda projected his own issues onto Hue and simultaneously admitted it. To say Hue didn't manage up well is really odd as a statement. Hue didn't make enough good decisions in the situation he was in, which lets be fair wasn't a good situation to begin with. Say whatever you want but Cleveland is better after Hue Jackson, than they were before.

[@randyrandalman8234]

Marcellus was trying to get Hue to name 1 thing that went wrong or could have gone better, but Hue was like a broken record saying at the end of the day over and over without really saying anything meaningful. How is Hue supposed to improve if he can't even identify what went wrong? Hue does take responsibility for all the losing, but he doesn't get into why it happened. Hue's explanation for why he got fired makes no sense. If it were because of the losing, he would have been fired at the end of last season with a 1-31 record. This year, Browns improve by going 2-5-1, with 2 of the loses coming in overtime, with a win over the Ravens and loses to Saints, Chiefs, and Steelers. So Hue gets fired when the team does better and over-performs expectations? Either Jimmy Haslam has no idea what he's doing (quite possible), or something else went down that Hue isn't fessing up to.
