Hue Jackson's already back to work and NFL Twitter has the jokes

Thanksgiving isn't until next week, but Hue Jackson has to be pretty grateful Marvin Lewis still is the head coach of the Bengals.

That meant Jackson was only unemployed for a couple weeks.

The former Browns head coach is back in Cincinnati, with the official title of "special assistant to the head coach." That's a mouthful, and basically means Jackson is a fill-in after the Bengals canned defensive coordinator Teryl Austin on Monday.

Lewis is planning to handle the defense himself, and Jackson is Dwight Schrute.

I wanted to make an Office joke about Hue Jackson's "special assistant to the head coach" title, but everyone already has and now it just feels lame.
