Time will tell if that was the right decision.  Just my take.  I feel like we are about to spend a weekend with our non-custodial parent that we know is going to go way overboard to try to seem like the hip and fun one.

Yes, AJ and Eifert went down, but we didn't really see the team utilize Mixon and Bernard more due to the health of the receivers. Instead, he kept trying to push the short passing game with lesser talent and it failed. I'd be fine seeing someone else as OC.

Yep.


This is the way i am leaning. Taylor or Beinemy, but i think Taylor is now in the lead and i would be ecstatic with the hire.

I'm totally convinced its Hue.  he's just getting his staff put together.  Some high profile assistants to really get the fan base fired up and hopeful for the upcoming season. 

Its Hue for a couple reasons,

1. Marv gave his blessing
and 2.  The Browns have already said, they don't give a damn about the fans reaction.  they are doing what is best for business, and right now, business is best with Marvin 2.0, I mean Hue Jackson.
