At least he will be swimming with the algea blooms. You couldn't pay me to swim in that.
The First 2018 Lake Erie Algal Bloom Forecast is Here, and It's Not Pretty
A nasty green algae bloom is certain to hit the shallowest of the Great Lakes once more this summer, scientists confirm. But the depth of the problem is uncertain.
Today, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and National Center for Water Quality Research released its first forecast for the year, indicating that they don't know a whole hell of a lot yet.
"Because the forecast uses modeled discharge for two months, there is a large uncertainty in bloom severity," forecasters admitted in a release.
So far, according to the researchers, heavy precipitation in April have led to farm runoff leaving high phosphorus levels in the Maumee River, which runs directly into Lake Erie.
"The phosphorus load to date is sufficient for some bloom to occur, however, the uncertainty is quite large," forecasters said.
As major rain events are not predicted for the upcoming weeks, it's hard to conclude if this year's algal bloom will be larger than last summer's, the third worst on record.
A final seasonal forecast taking place in July should offer a far more accurate indication of what could lie beneath Lake Erie's surface this summer.

Yup.
I want to lose a game because he chooses to punt on first down. I want him to decline an offensive pass interference penalty on an opposing touchdown. I want him to have the field goal kicker kick in the wrong direction. Anything that gets him fired as quickly as possible so I don't have to listen to his disingenuous, self-interested bullshit for a second longer than is absolutely necessary.
I wish him bad acne, hemmohroids, and hebephrenic schizophrenia.

Sashi is doing just fine man, trust me.
You think because he is a former GM, a respected lawyer and has a Harvard law degree you think he will be fine?
What is he going to do to put food on the table besides collect the millions he is still owed?

Nothing to do with feeling sorry for Sashi.
I can accept a guy being a terrible coach, which Hue is. I don't root against teams for that. But with Hue, it goes beyond that. The back-stabbing really was not the biggest part of it for me. This was:
Browns coach Hue Jackson’s Thursday press conference centered on the firing of Sashi Brown and how owner Jimmy Haslam’s announcement that Jackson would return for the 2018 season would fit into what the team does next in the personnel department.
With Jackson set to return at this point, there was also a question about whether he’d hire an offensive coordinator for the 2018 season. Jackson said it was something that was “definitely a possibility” and explained that he thinks the team will be “better equipped” for such a coaching addition than they have been in Jackson’s first two years with the team.
“I got the job because of what I did on offense,” Jackson said. “I didn’t think it was fair to give anybody that title and not have a football team that was worthy of that guy to be the leader of it when I didn’t think it was where it needed to be. To me, you guys would have been telling me to get rid of him.”
Jackson said it was “like a setup” to have a coach responsible for the unit under adverse conditions and that he thinks other head coaches use it as a way to evade accountability that Jackson says he’s willing to take for himself. There’s always the possibility that a good offensive coordinator could have helped the unit develop more quickly, but that’s a moot point 28 games into Jackson’s tenure.

I despise him because of that statement. it is so breathtakingly dishonest on so many level, and insulting as fuck to fans.

Yes. And we're still telling him to fire the 2016-2017 offensive coordinator.I....don't see how that statement is all that disingenuous. He's 100% right, you would all be telling him to fire that offensive coordinator.

Give it half the season and you guys will be able to start rooting for your football team.
Sad that I had to say that.

Woah, I'm still rooting for this team. I'm all in. I always am.
I just don't have any faith in the man, and I think he's a real sheisty piece of shit. The way he's thrown his players, his staff, and his rookies under the bus publicly is straight up shameful. It's ironic that he always uses the phrase "leader of men" when he's the furthest thing from it. He has an incessant need to paint himself as a victim.
If we go 7-9 somehow, we would have gone 10-6 with a different head coach, that I am sure of. We may win some games, but it's despite him. He's a hindrance to progress. The less he has his hands on anything important, the better.

That water is still pretty cold by June 1st. So at least there's some silver lining there.

I....don't see how that statement is all that disingenuous. He's 100% right, you would all be telling him to fire that offensive coordinator.
For starters:
1) He's telling his players that he believed they sucked so bad that they weren't worthy of having an offensive coordinator. That is just horrible.
2) He's saying the responsible coach would be blamed for having a shitty team and would be fired. Except by his own logic (if he actually believed it), he should have been fired as the head coach precisely because there wasn't an offensive coordinator to be blamed.
3) It's not the reason he didn't hire an offensive coordinator. He didn't hire one because he believed he was the best possible offensive coordinator for the team, and simply wanted to run the offense himself because he enjoyed it.
4) He's claiming that he did it because he believes in "accountability", when in fact, this entire lie is nothing more than an attempt to evade accountability. It's a "dog ate my homework" level of bullshit that is simply insulting to everyone listening to him.
The honest answer - that I could have respected -- would have been "You know, I made a mistake. I should have hired an offensive coordinator, and I didn't because I underestimated the amount of attention such a young team needed. I was a first time head coach, and I likely would have been a better one if I'd had a coordinator. So, I'm fixing my mistake now."
Instead, he doesn't even have the integrity to accept the responsibility for his own decision to not hire not an offensive coordinator. He even blames that decision on the roster.
That is despicable.

Sooo..... Root against the team, then? I mean, I think I'd rather have the "this roster was shitty" narrative be validated than have the team lose so he goes.

I personally won't be able to enjoy seeing his smug face if they win.

I don't disagree with any of this....but the truth is, I just want the Browns to fucking win. At this point, if I was at the point of rooting for them to lose to spite the HC, I would deserve to be thrown in the loony bin. If the team is winning I will be ecstatic regardless if Hue is the HC or not. If they lose, he'll be canned and the problem will be solved anyways.
Let's be real though we all know the guy is gone by the bye week.
