Former Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson backed off a prior insinuation that team owner Jimmy Haslam offered him money to lose games during his three-year tenure.
Jackson, who was hired as Grambling State's head coach in December, made a series of Twitter posts Tuesday about his time in Cleveland after former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores filed a lawsuit against the Dolphins, Denver Broncos, New York Giants and the NFL alleging racial discrimination in their hiring processes.
"Trust me it was a good number!" Jackson, who served as the Browns' coach from 2016 until midway through the 2018 season, wrote on Twitter when questioned about Haslam's alleged offer amid a purported desire to lose games in order to improve draft position.
