The proof is in the pudding and the pudding is the worst in the NFL the past two years.

Hue is a bad coach.

Most coaches wouldn't survive his record in Cleveland.  I will say despite the wins not being there, the Browns are playing tough and staying in games and I also thought he did a good job with a weak roster in his 1 year as head coach with the Raiders back in 2011 taking them to 8-8.  He had Carson Palmer at QB for part of that year.  He really hasn't had anyone of note behind center since he's been in Cleveland.

All I can surmise is it must have been Sashi's decision alone to pass on Wentz two years ago and to trade out of the 12th pick this year and allow the Texans to get Watson.  If Hue had supported those decisions behind the scenes, I can't imagine him still being there.  I'm guessing he probably wasn't in favor of either of those moves.  Kizer seemed like a pick they probably went away from their board for since all the other QBs were already gone.

Haslem seems to make all the wrong moves so maybe keeping Hue is just a continuation of that, but I don't think he's that bad.  I don't like him as much as I like the job Todd Bowles has done in New York, but I do like Hue.
