Rather than give an emotional response fueled only by Hue's 3-36-1 record as Brown's HC, I'll try to be reasonable instead.
1. Hue has been successful every time he's been a coach for us. Heck, it's how he got the Browns job.
2. I cannot repeat this enough...the Browns were clearly tanking those first 2 years. The only year Hue really got was 2018, and he had a snake gunning for his job (Haley), yet still managed a 2-5-1 record and obvious improvement. They lost 3 games by a FG, 2 of them in OT. They played the Saints and Steelers better than we did.
That said, while I'm good with having Hue on the staff, I don't want him as our next HC. Not because of his Browns record (which I don't really fault him for), but because he couldn't handle the situation with Haley. I believe Haley was more at fault than Hue, but Hue wasn't able to handle it internally before it became public. He also had control issues in Oakland when he was HC.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
