Quote:Why? Hue Jackson was so bad in Oakland that the owners virtually fired him earlier than they wanted to in order to keep him from running the franchise even more into the ground.

Yeah poor old Hue tried be a rookie HC and a rookie GM at the same time,didnt work too well as you could imagine.Reggie was hired as GM and fired him a few days after.That being said the two seasons Hue was with the Raiders as OC first then as HC they went 8-8 both seasons,the only time they have had winning records since 2002.

 

I think with Caldwell as the GM and a strong defensive coordinator behind him Hue would have all the tools to make our offense one of the best in the league.

I also like the way he creates a strong running game which would be a huge help to Bortles when things get tough.

 

He comes across as a tough coach.Not saying he comes without his risks but who doesn't? No real accomplished HCs on the market and I think hiring someone with a college only resume would be a mistake.
