I know the scuttlebutt is that these guys are done after this year. With just 1 win on the board in 20+ games few expected on the horizon, there are good arguments to be made that both Hue and the front office should be fired. The biggest argument for firing neither is continuity for continuity's sake.
That's not the world's worst argument, given that the only constant since 1999 with this franchise has been turnover at head coach and in the front office, and it's been worse under the current ownership.
This is not that argument. I'm saying you have to keep exactly 1 of these. If you want to blow it ALL up, too bad, Haslam can't be seen as doing that yet again. If you argue this is only year 2 of a true rebuild and want to keep them both, sorry, SOMEBODY'S head must roll after this shitshow.
Arguments for keeping Hue Jackson
We have a roster largely composed of young players, and continuity in coaching is far more important for that group of players then continuity in the front office. It could be severely detrimental to the development of our top young Talent such as Myles Garrett, Jabrill Peppers, Emmanuel Ogbah, David Njoku et al, to blow up the coaching staff.
The roster he's had to be given with has been among the worst I the league. He's an offensive coach who's been given zero offensive weapons aside from his #2 running back.
He is thought of well around the league, while Sashi is not.
Despite the losing, it appears he remains popular in the locker room,and aside from Kenny Britt, who he never had, it doesnt seem like he's "lost" the team.
Arguments for keeping Sashi Brown and the front office
Randolphkeys made this point in the rant thread: You signed up for this, Mr. Haslam. We told you this was a 3+ year project and we have operated according to that plan. The foundation is sound and we still have have more draft capital than any other team in the league.
All of their early picks have shown the ability to contribute. Yes they've passed on a couple quarterbacks but they're playing the long game here.
The rest of the arguments are some form of Hue Jackson needs to be fired: The roster is not that bad. They gave Hue a top offensive line that he can't seem to scheme a running game around, and he refuses to game plan to around his young quarterback. The defense has put together some good games but Hue's offense has been unable to move the ball.
They've drafted 2 young quarterbacks for him and he's jerked both of them around and shown very little development. He wanted Kizer to start, buried Kessler 3rd on the depth chart and now it looks like a Kessler might be the the guy he want to roll with. This is not a sign of a coach who knows what he's doing.
Numerous clock and game management issues he's had over 2 seasons. He may be a fine coordinator and motivator, but a head coach needs to be able to be in control of and manage the game in all aspects, and he is failing miserably.
