Browns hire (first choice?!?!) Hue Jackson as head coach

Looks like Browns will get done deal with Hue Jackson before he gets on flight to New York for interview with the Giants, per sources.

.@MikeSilver who's close to Hue Jackson tweeted that he talked to Jackson and he'll be next head coach: "They made me feel comfortable.''

BANG.

Head coaching experience. An offensive mind. History of developing quarterbacks. No-nonsense attitude. And, perhaps most importantly, NOT named Doug Marrone.

The Cleveland Browns hired their first choice to be their next head coach and I’m not really sure what to do with my hands right now. Give Hasashipodesta (yup) some credit here. They did their due diligence on some guys, recognized one they really wanted, and went and got him. The new regime is 1-0.

This search seem SO much different than the last couple to anyone else? No smoke and mirrors, not many rumors floating around. They interviewed guys, publicly confirmed they interviewed said guys, then moved on to interview the next guy. Much more succinct. It’s like they had an actual, real-life plan (gasp!)

I’m relieved. Give Huey the nickel tour of Berea and let him get to work so I can stop talking about this team for a little while and enjoy my Cavaliers in peace. See you at the draft.
