First, everybody thought he was a great OC, all creative and innovative and stuff. I thought he out-cuted the Bengals too many times. LIke throwing the ball to Eric Fisher 7-8 times last season, many times in the red zone. When you have the likes of AJ Green, Tyler Eifert, Gio Bernard, etc, you don't need to throw it to a reserve OL so many times. I also think he got Dalton injured trying to be too cute and trying a shovel pass from the 2 yd line....which the steelers obviously saw coming. And finally, when the Bengals went for 2 pts in the playoff game...the strength of the steeler D was their LB speed...and he calls a back pass to Jeremy Hill who is promptly taken down by the LB. Hill's strength is straight ahead running, not going horizontal to the LOS and trying to get around the corner on fast LBs.

Next, he leaves the Bengals to accept a HC position...in the division. To me that was a slap in the face to ML who saved hue's ass more than once by giving him assistant coaching jobs. I get he was due to leave, but he had enough interest from other teams that he didn't have to stay in our division and face ML twice a year.

Finally, he has now traded with the steelers. He not only traded within the division, but also to his team's biggest rival. The steelers were hurting at CB. Even though gilbert has not shhown first round talent, he still could turn out to be decent with a change of scenery and different coaches. Why the eff would you strengthen the steelers?

Personally, I think hue is a dumbass. I hope he burns in that dumpster fire of an organization in cleveland.

I think you are missing the big picture, Hue did it to help the Bengals... Gilbert will be easy picking for us.. on a serious note, I think you went off on a Hue Jackson crazy bend
