I don’t know about you, but I can’t recall a time when the Cleveland Browns have ever had a head coach that anybody was really excited about. Perhaps that’s because I was a baby when Marty Schottenheimer was their head coach—the last Browns head coach to post a winning record, from 1984 to 1988.
I don’t know whether or not Hue Jackson will ever be able to turn the Browns around into a relatively winning team, but I do think it’s fair to say that he has brought with him a level of enthusiasm and energy than we have seen in Cleveland since perhaps before the Browns became the Ravens.
