BEREA, Ohio -- Hue Jackson did not agree with Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam's statement that "internal discord" led to the firing of Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley on Monday.
"I don't really think it was truly just about internal discord," Jackson said Friday on ESPN's First Take. "I think that's a strong word. I think you have disagreements with coaches. With Todd, with [defensive coordinator] Gregg Williams, with Amos Jones, who's also the special teams coordinator. I don't think that's internal discord."
To what, then, did Jackson attribute losing his job eight games into his third season with the Browns?
