flyingfooldoug Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 I found it interesting that he still thinks he can coach. Maybe he should consider a different career path. Bus driver comes to mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hue admitted his & that's enough for me. Mike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 It's pretty obvious that it's hard to forgive a coach who brought 1 win over a 2 year time span for a fan base that was already sick of failure. Hue should just stay silent about the whole thing and go on with life as a relatively rich man compared to the vast majority of the fan base. Take up a hobby other than football. Or start taking noticeable pleasure in the players who came in while he was HC and are starting to turn this around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibleedbrown Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 I got through the first couple dozen paragraphs and the last few paragraphs and feel confident that l got the gist of what was in between. There was definitely an element of over the top with the article as others have pointed out. A quote from it... ”This all comes from the same place, from the soul of a coach who’s watching for the first time in an eternity as a season starts without him.” You can’t just throw out “the soul of” whatever without a few eyes rolling at the melodrama. And sure, everyone gets it. Coaches are humans with feelings. Even at the end of the article it was still portraying this sad tragic figure, which is at best counterproductive to getting a coaching job. Who wants to hire a guy hell bent on feeling sorry for himself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wants to hire a guy hell bent on feeling sorry for himself? How much money is he getting paid to sit at home? I assume he is still being paid on a contract by Jimmy.

jcam222 Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Say what you will but there was a certain humility in his interview. It almost leads you to believe that much of his time with the Browns was part of a manic stage of his larger potentially bipolar issues. I wish him well as a human being. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypicalBrowns50 Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 “I slept in each of my 3 guest bedrooms for days as I got paid while sleeping, endless miserable hours sitting by my pool and using my water slide...countless trips to the beach that just didn’t seem like before, the filet mignon at the gourmet steakhouse just didn’t taste the same...I wouldn’t wish any of this on my worst enemy” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unsympathetic Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 He wants you to feel "sorry" for him now, but you and I both know if/when he got another job, he'd repeat his 0% humility and telling everyone else they're wrong and Feeling Things In His Pants for obviously terrible quarterbacks. He has no skills at "his job," he has zero self-awareness, and he takes personal pleasure in putting others down when he is gifted a position with authority. You know, like an asshole. I don't feel anything at all for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsympathetic Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Hot tip: Defending Hue Jackson is really not a great look. I have zero sympathy for narcissists.. because they don't reciprocate. Don't fall for the trap - you're better than Hue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Oven Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Funny thing is I was just going to credit nickers with a surprisingly empathetic take on Hue, but Unsympathetic made some seriously good points about Hue (and narcissists in general). Strangely I feel both guys are right, if that's possible. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
