I'm assuming this is what led to the riff between the two of them.....and in typical Browns "no one is safe from the tires of the bus" fashion, it appears that Freddie Kitchens is taking credit for what was Jackson's idea all along. Damn, talk about dysfunction! I guess the moral of the story is.....as HC, Hue should have just fired Haley and did his thing. Although, it probably wouldn't have sat well with Dorsey.

Hue was toast in Cleveland when their FO sabotaged the McCarron trade. He was a dead man walking ever since.
I think people are getting more worked up about this than they should have. Marvin was the one pushing for the succession plan, not Mikey. In fact, Marvin tried to get Brown to put in writing that Hue would take over for him, and Mikey refused. Then Hue took the Browns job.
