BEREA – Hue Jackson’s firing Monday, was hardly a surprise. Jackson began the season on the hot seat after winning just one game in two seasons. Ultimately, his dismissal was about much more than wins and losses.
“I think the message today is we are not going to put up with internal discord,” Haslam said. “We want people who are collaborative and work together.”
The “internal discord” Haslam was referring to was the public feud between Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley, which played out on everything from episodes of Hard Knocks to postgame press conferences.
