As my thread states, to each his own, and not knowing all the facts just going on what I DO know, or think I know, if it were me, I would have stayed with the Bengals, based on the possibility of getting a SB ring as OC, and then a chance to get one as HC, down the road, especially based upon my track record and the vulnerability I experienced as HC for the Raiders. Not to mention the Browns are farther down the rebuilding process than the Raiders were.

I seriously doubt there was ever any sort of agreement for Hue to take over for Marvin in 2018.  That just is not the way it works in the NFL.  But even if there was Hue would have rather get credit for building a winner in Cleveland than "ride on Marvin's coattails" here.

I doubt many would argue against starting out in Cleveland isn't the best launch point.

If you're Hue, you take advantage of the opportunities that are in front of you.

He will need all he can get from the players and then some to just get us a Playoff win.

Once we run into a Belichick or Kubiak we will lose.

I am not going to rip Hue for what happens in Cleveland this year, but I am also not going to praise him as a great head coach who would be better than Marvin.
