The Gipper Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Heard an interview with John Dorsey this morning on WKNR. He seems like a straightforward dude. Though...the one question he did NOT give a straightforward answer to was: Are you committed to having Hue Jackson here as the HC in 2018. He said something along the lines of "we are only currently thinking about the present, the here and now. We need to get better players in to make plays". In other words, he was totally NON-committal to seeing Hue back here. Of course, in theory, based on what Haslam has said, it is not really Dorsey's call on who is the HC of the team because Hue does not report to Dorsey..he reports to Jimmy. So, maybe Dorsey just didn't want to talk out of school. Nevertheless, he deferred completely on the subject of Hue being here next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 I personally think he handled that smartly. Get some better players at certain positions, maybe get an OC... and only then can we see if Hue is up to the task of winning or not. Compensating for the lack of talent has to give coaches serious fits and decisions that are tough to explain to the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 I thought he said his job was chief coffee fetcher and that he plans to bring in better Kona coffee for whomever makes the decisions on coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawgs89 Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Why would he accept the job if the owner won't let him fire the incompetent coach? Where's your pride man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's your pride man? Because in today's NFL, a lot of time the GM is NOT the "boss" of the HC. On several teams it is the other way around..or, as here, both GM and HC are on equal footing. Bill Belichick is the boss in NE. It seems that Andy Reid is the boss in KC This article is like 4 years old, but it shows that NFL team Heirarchies are all different: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000210536/printable/whos-ireallyi-in-charge-power-structures-for-all-32-nfl-teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillmotion Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Good, he's holding people accountable for their actions. That's something every boss should do. If the kicker sucks and can never make a kick, you fire him. You don't kick for the future and lose games. That's why that asian dude on the chargers was cut after a week. Because as herm edwards says, "you play to win". I feel like under Dorsey, we're actually going to try to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconHound Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 I see Hue coming back unless a brand name, Gruden, reaches out which I do not think will happen. If the talent improves and Hue manages 7-9 next year they will keep him, if he wins 6 or less without some crazy schit happening he'll be unemployed.

Dutch Oven Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 I've seen speculation that the current Kansas City OC Matt Nagy would be Dorsey's choice to be the Browns HC if the need would arise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very interesting as he has been OC at KC 2016 & 2017 and KC QB coach since 2013, which mirrors Alex Smith's years with KC & also Dorsey's years there as GM. Once again, my unqualified gut opinion is that Hue Jackson will no longer be the Browns' HC after the 2018 Bye week & possibly much sooner than that.... To quote Arte Johnson from Laugh In fame........"Velly interesting!" Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WT F kind of an organization has the HC reporting to the owner and not the GM? Is Hue giving Haslam blowjobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly as many as half of the NFL teams have a heirarchy where the HC is either superior to or equal to the GM.....including the Pats and BB. BB is the "boss" of that team's GM.
