Why Marvin Finally Got Sacked

Then, once Hue was here, it became very apparent that he had no real future here.  In the first meeting, we have a Cleveland defender handing Hue an intercepted ball.  In the second meeting, we have Baker Mayfield trolling up and down the Bengals sideline, eyes glared on Hue Jackson.  Nevermind the stigma of Hue Jackson being a losing HC, he brought shame and embarrassment to the team, simply by being present on the sideline.

I have no personal issues with Hue Jackson, I hope and believe that he will find another job in the NFL.  As far as the Bengals and Hue go?  That road has reached it's end.  Sometimes it's best to just make a clean break, for all parties involved.

You nailed this one SSB. It's not only what you wrote, but also the fact that Hue refused to accept any of the blame for Browns failures over the past few years. After he was fired he rolled off a litany of excuses and none of it involved his own failures. 
One thing Marvin didn't do was to try to blame anyone else for his shortcomings as a head coach. Hue on the other hand blamed everyone but himself. I'm kind of amazed he ever got a job back in PBS after that. Personally I think Marvin felt sorry for his old friend, but he couldn't help him from cutting his own throat in the long run. Marv will still have plenty of opportunities to coach in the league. Hue I think is done.
