It is never one-sided and there were good things that happened in the Hue Jackson era for the Cleveland Browns. Eric Jordan, co-host of the Podcast Browns in our Blood, put it this way:
“I liked Hue and admired the way he was able to communicate with his players and treat them like men. At the same time, it’s possible to be too player friendly and the players might not take the Coach seriously enough.”
Perhaps a close relationship with the players can eventually become dysfunctional sometimes. In any case, prominent players have left Berea for non-football reasons.
