Pretty much.

People want to compare it to the Oakland deal, but that was different. Hue (like every coach before him) was told to go win a  championship that year and do whatever was necessary. There wasn't any planning down the road, no common vision between the front office and coaching staff, just a mandate to win. And it was given because they thought they had the pieces in place.

Cleveland knows it doesn't have much of anything. From what I've read, Hue has said everyone realizes it's going to take time (interpret the length as long as you want, but I'd say more than the first half of a season). They aren't going to start a rebuilding process that takes at least a couple seasons and scrap that for a backup QB.
