Jason McCourty: “I was in Cleveland in 2017, there’s no way we were trying to win”
 

Jason McCourty, who played on the 2017 Browns team that went 0-16, believes coach Hue Jackson was speaking the truth when he said owner Jimmy Haslam incentivized him to lose.

Although Jackson later softened his comments and Haslam denied the charge, McCourty said it was obvious that the Browns didn’t want to win.

Oh Damn.

FWIW, I never viewed Hue Jackson as HC material though.

I think Hue Jackson could be a great head coach in a better situation than what he’s been afforded so far, but I know for certain he’s a great offensive coordinator.

Unfortunately he was HC to two tragically poorly run franchises so who really knows how well he could do with a legitimate franchise with great support and frankly time.

He was apparently hired solely to take a fall. He was never given a chance. Too few head coaches get the chance these days.
