Cleveland Browns. Hue Jackson. 10. player. 53. . Head Coach

We made it. The top 10. Phew!

Huey Lewis, I mean, Huey “Hue” Jackson is headed into his first season as the head coach of the Cleveland Browns, God rest his soul. His starting quarterback? Robert Griffin III. How much luckier could a guy get? Not much.

Jackson has been a head coach in the NFL once before, with the Oakland Raiders in 2011, when he went a respectable 8-8. He is an experienced offensive assistant coach, having worked as a running backs coach, wide receivers coach, and an offensive coordinator. It’ll be interesting to see what coach Jackson can do with the talented, but oft-injured RGIII.

It would be a pleasure to sit down with coach Jackson and discuss his long road to becoming a second-time NFL head coach, and hear what his plans are for the Browns, who have been the worst team in the NFL since they rejoined the league in 1999.

He took the worst head coaching job in the NFL and is working with one of the most enigmatic players in the NFL, who just so happens to be his field general. You know he’s a patient, caring man if he’s capable of all that, so why wouldn’t you want to grab a cold one with him?
