Hue da Man - PC bulletpoints in OP here, discussion in Hue Jackson thread

[Soda]

I'm guessing he means "it's getting hot in here".... The responses thus far have been pretty funny and all over the place.

We have our share of negativity over here (it's a Cleveland forum), but I find 90% of the conversation to be extremely intelligent and thought out, even when it gets heated.

I have a hard time visiting any other forum for sports talk these days, to be honest.

It is interesting to note that there are so few bad posters on this site, that is those with irrational opinions not backed with reasoning, that the few who do suck stick out like sore thumbs.

Even they generally up their game after a few rounds of educational mockery (though a couple are hopeless or just trolls). No point in visiting other forums really unless one wants to up their blood pressure (cough, RealGM).

You can easily lower your blood pressure by venturing on over to the OBR where every thread provides some degree of comedic value.

Always a great place to be when threads are titled "Goodbye."

Shaming of bad posters is literally my favorite part of RCF. Not that I love making fun of people, but it ensures quality posting, as you said.

A few more thoughts on Hue Jackson:

1. He prefers a strong balance of run and pass. Maybe that makes him old school, but he has been coaching since the 1990s. He knows the value of balance over some of the flag football inspired spread systems we see in college today.

2. He is a running back by committee signal caller. When he called plays in Oakland, ended up using Darren McFadden as a change of pace game breaker, but giving power running calls to Michael "70's" Bush. In Cincinnati, Hue uses Gio Bernard and Jeremy Hill for different roles as well. Perhaps that means he would know how to best utilize Duke Johnson as a game breaker, with another power runner doing much of the heavy duty between the tackles.

3. I had previously forgotten that Jason Campbell broke his collarbone before the Palmer trade. They were in the hunt for the playoffs with Kyle Boller at the helm. I know the Raiders gave up the farm for Palmer, but if they stick with the plan I bet it ends up a great trade for them. Instead, they fire Jackson before Palmer gets comfortable with the scheme, with a poor collection of receivers led by DHB and Denarius Moore. I really feel like he was only fired because the Davis family was in turmoil, not his ability to coach.

4. When you watch Jackson on the sidelines during games, you can tell he is organized. He brings Dalton over to the sidelines with two or three other coaches, and they problem solve in consensus. Watching the Bengals play, it's clear to me that he works as well with assistants as he does players, and they all respect what he has to say. Seeing that he was a protégé of "Ball Coach" Steve Spurrier - who was fanatical about calling his own plays - its nice to see a guy who has a healthy respect level across the board.

there are some good posters over there but the majority of crazy posters, trolls, and negative nancies blur the good posters out..over here is the oposite..tne huge amount of good posters, blur or school the bad posters and they slowly become decent posters..

It's good to feel wanted.

I wonder what the hold up is? Are they really deciding if he's their dude or is it more about trying to figure out the compensation package to offer him?

I'm pretty sure Jackson has an interview with the Giants today. I think the Browns are waiting to see how that interview goes. I could be wrong.

Jackson's interview with the Giants is rumored to be Thursday.

If he even takes it if the Browns make an offer today.
