2. I thought his play calling was suspect at best. Too many times I think he got too cute trying to out trick the other team. His first season as OC, how many times did he throw the tackle eligible to Fisher when the Bengals were in the red zone? By my count at least 6 times....when you have guys like Green and Eifert available. And to me, the play that last the playoff game to the steelers was the 2 point conversion after the go ahead TD. The previous drive, we had lined up in the jumbo package and Jeremy Hill had walked into the endzone. The steelers could not match up to stop that play on short yardage...even when they knew it was coming. Yet hue decided to call a throw to the side to Hill...playing into the steeler D's strength (LB speed). They easily stop the attempt. If they had lined up in the jumbo package and punched it in like they should have, the steeler FG at the end would have been for OT, not for the win. Shades of Pete carroll not using Marsawn Lynch from the 1.

3. Finally, he has done nothing to impress so far in cleveland. They were lucky to get 1 win last year. So him going there was  good thing, but still a slap in the face to ML IMO.

I simply don't understand the high pedestal some people put hue on. I think he is a clown and am glad he is gone.

1. Hue was going to be given another coaching chance. We all know that. He was productive in Oakland and we saw what happened to them once he left. The Raiders won 11 games in the next 3 years once he left.

2. 5 times he did. And Fisher caught a pass for 31 yards. And yes, that 2 point play was terrible. No denying that. However, there's no "oh we definitely make it in". That doesn't happen in the NFL. And it's nothing like the Marshawn Lynch situation lol. With Lynch, you get more than one opportunity. 2 pointer you don't.

3. That's completely fine. He deserves criticism for only winning 1 game. But how is it a slap in the face to take a better job opportunity that gives you full say in whatever you do? He became his own boss rather than being underneath and HOPING he is given more chances.

 But he's done PLENTY with the other opportunities he has had.

You're obviously wrong with him "being a clown" lol. He's done A LOT.

With the Redskins as their RB coach, RB Stephen Davis rushed for 1,432 yards, breaking the record he had set in 1999 for most rushing yards in a season by a Redskin.
With the Bengals as their WR coach, Johnson (1,369 yards) and Houshmandzadeh (1,081 yards) became the first pair of Bengals to eclipse the 1,000–yard receiving mark in a single season. And we know how prolific the Bengals passing attack was from 2004-2006.
With the Ravens as their QB coach, he took on Joe Flacco his rookie year, who became the first rookie QB to win two playoff games in NFL history as the Ravens advanced to the AFC Championship game.
With the Raiders as their offensive coordinator, they more than doubled their scoring output from the previous year. Darren McFadden had a breakout year and the Raiders finished 6th in scoring and 10th in offense.
As the Raiders HC, he got them to a 7-4 record before their starting QB had an ACL tear, resulting in the Raiders trading for Carson Palmer. The team finished 8-8 though, and he was fired.
As the Bengals RB coach, the duo between Giovani bernard and Benjarvus Green-Ellis had 1987 all purpose yards and 15 TDs.
As the Bengals OC, they had the 6th best rushing attack in 2014. In 2015, the Bengals had one of the best offenses in the NFL, Andy Dalton was in the conversation of MVP, and he won Assistant Coach of the Year.

But no. You're right. He's a clown who's accomplished nothing.
