*It hasn’t exactly been a great last 2 days for black coaches in the pro ranks in Cleveland. On Sunday we told you about the firing of Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue in the NBA.
Today, there’s the firing of Hue Jackson, the now former head coach of the Cleveland Browns. This happened after being on the edge of being let go for the past two years.
It has finally happened. After being on the hot seat for the better part of the past two years, Hue Jackson has reportedly been fired as the Cleveland Browns‘ head coach.

Jackson began the 2018 season with a 1-31 record as the team’s head coach. While Cleveland has been more competitive this season, a 2-5-1 mark after Week 8 didn’t please the brass.
There’s also been some drama between Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who will now presumably take over the head coaching duties on an interim basis.
Jackson’s tenure as the Browns’ head coach ends after he posted an awful 3-36-1 mark. The team won a grand total of one game on Sunday with him manning the sideline in Ohio.
It’s been pretty much a foregone conclusion that Jackson’s days were numbered because he was brought in before current Browns general manager John Dorsey. Simply put, with his horrendous win/lose record and the fact that he wasn’t Dorsey’s guy, it was only a matter of time before he got the boot.
