NFL: Huddle and FlowHue Jackson: Speaking My Truth
The former Browns head coach gives it straight, no chaser to Steve and Jim about why he says he was made a scapegoat during his short tenure in Cleveland (04:33). Jackson explains how he stood his ground for Myles Garrett when the front office wanted to pick quarterback Mitchell Trubisky with the #1 overall pick in the 2017 Draft (10:05). He also sheds light on why he was prepared to leave the Browns before being given a contract extension during his 1-23 stretch (12:52). Jackson details why he was “shocked” at being fired and why he believed offensive coordinator Todd Haley wanted to take his job (19:41). Jackson says he still doesn’t understand Baker Mayfield’s beef with him (26:06), and believes his coaching career is over because he shouldered the blame for the Cleveland debacle (27:36). Jackson also addresses the diversity issue among coaches and what he’s doing to improve it (38:06). (*NOTE: Huddle & Flow reached out to the Cleveland Browns for a response to Jackson's comments...the team declined.)
