Hiring Hue Jackson a Catastrophe Waiting to Happen for NFL Teams

As far as NFL head coaches go, Hue Jackson was a history-maker. Over two-plus seasons at the helm of the Cleveland Browns, he won three times in 40 games. His .205 winning percentage as a head coach with the Oakland Raiders and Browns is the second-lowest of all time.

However, despite that run of futility and a messy divorce from the Browns that led Baker Mayfield, Cleveland's star quarterback, to call Jackson "fake," the Cincinnati Bengals are interviewing Jackson for their head coaching vacancy. Reports also linked him to the Minnesota Vikings as a potential permanent successor to fired offensive coordinator John DeFilippo.
