Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam denied that former coach Hue Jackson received bonuses for losing.
"Unequivocally, Hue Jackson was never paid to lose games," Haslam told Adam Sparks of the Knoxville News Sentinel. "That is an absolute falsehood. And it’s also an absolute falsehood that I laughed while we were losing. Most people who know me would say, ‘That’s not how Jimmy would react to losing.'"
The statement comes after Jackson said on ESPN's Keyshawn, JWill and Max and clarified on SportsCenter that he was paid $750,000 in bonuses for tanking games.
