Toonstruck 1 » Hue Jackson didn't lose his nerve.

Fired this week by the Browns after winning just three of 40 games in two plus-seasons Authentic Baker Mayfield Jersey , Jackson on Friday disputed owner Jimmy Haslam's assertion there was "internal discord" on the coaching staff that made his dismissal 鈥?along with offensive coordinator Todd Haley's 鈥?necessary.Days after being let go, Jackson appeared on ESPN to defend his record, describe regrets and essentially audition for another job.On Monday, Haslam, who has fired four coaches in six years, intimated that in-fighting between Jackson and Haley were at the root of his decision to make a change halfway through the season.Jackson disagreed with his former boss and said he wanted to "set the record straight.""I don't really think it was truly just about internal discord," said Jackson, who went 1-15, 0-15 and 2-5-1 with Cleveland. "I think that's a strong word. I think you have disagreements with coaches 鈥?with Todd, with (defensive coordinator) Gregg Williams, with Amos Jones Greg Joseph Jersey Elite , who is also the special teams coordinator. I don't think that's internal discord. I think when you look at it, the organization made a decision to go in a different direction."Jackson knows he didn't win nearly enough, and he has some misgiving about the way he handled things. Following a recent loss to Tampa Bay, a frustrated Jackson said he intended to "dive in" and help Haley. Jackson said he was only trying to help, but the comments widened a rift with Haley and sent a shockwave through the team's front office.Jackson feels that ultimately the decision to let him go was to protect rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield, who may finally end the franchise's search for a long-term QB."I think when you really stop to look at it, it's truly really about Baker Mayfield," Jackson said. "I think they want to do everything they can to put him in a situation. You got the first pick of the draft, who I think is going to be a franchise quarterback who is going to be a sensational player, and he's not playing as well. So again, here is a perfect storm to move forward and move on. And I have to respect the decision that they made."Jackson said he was the one who hired Haley http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/greg-joseph-jersey , who spent the previous six seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jackson didn't want to relinquish play-calling duties 鈥?he was also Cleveland's offensive coordinator in his first two seasons 鈥?but he felt it would be better if he got help.Jackson now admits he should have never "given away the offense.""I knew that Todd Haley was a proven offensive play-caller, veteran play-caller in our division. Why would you not?" Jackson said of Haley's hiring. "I mean, let's be honest, I knew I was on the clock. You can't be 1-15, 0-16 and think, you know you can go through the season and not win football games. I wanted to surround myself with guys that have done it, and done it at a high level, and Todd Haley was definitely one of those guys."Jackson said he felt it was important to go public with his feelings just days after being fired."I want people to understand 鈥?I'm human just like anybody else," he said. "At the end of the day, I didn't do enough. We didn't do enough to get the job done in Cleveland. So what am I supposed to do? I'm not going to go crawl into a hole and say pull the covers."Jackson knows his 11-44-1 record as a head coach doesn't make him attractive to lead a team."I hope the next opportunity for me is to go back and be a coordinator first and foremost," he said. "Go back and put my name back to where it should be Authentic Greg Joseph Jersey , among some of the best play callers in this league. And then to move forward from there. The Cleveland Browns special teams were anything but during the 2018 NFL season. Starting in Week 1 - when the Browns had a game-winning field goal blocked in overtime - and continuing through the season’s final game, it was a weekly lowlight show of penalties, missed assignments and general nonsense.So it should come as no surprise that Pro Football Focus ranked the Browns special teams unit as the league’s worst in 2018.The ranking also has Browns fans continuing to ponder just why special teams coordinator Amos Jones still has a job (and why he was hired in the first place).Jones came to Cleveland after spending the previous five years as the special teams coordinator with the Arizona Cardinals, who decided not to renew his contract after the 2017 season. During his time in Arizona, the special teams units were near the bottom of the league’s rankings on an annual basis.How bad was it? ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss detailed a few “highlights” near the end of last season:Maybe former head coach Hue Jackson - who is statistically and unquestionably the worst head coach in the 99-year history of the NFL - believed that having Jones on staff would distract everyone from how bad Jackson is at his job.With the Browns signaling their intent to be a playoff contender in 2019, it seems extremely unlikely that they can live with Jones on the coaching staff much longer. On the bright side, who ever takes over has no where to go but up. Custom Los Angeles Rams Jerseys
