Hue Jackson just won a huge game of tug-of-war

For those paying attention, Hue Jackson has been distancing himself from Sashi Brown ever since the Browns fell asleep at the wheel while Jimmy Garoppolo was traded to the 49ers.

The two haven’t been on speaking terms the last month, according to Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot.

Remembered when Jackson pretended like the Browns didn’t have a plan, and were basically a rudderless ship on a cruise to nowhere?

Yeah, that was throwing shade at Sashi Brown.

Hue won the tug of war, but his seat is still warm. When the 2018 campaign kicks off, the Browns’ head coach needs to win early, and often.

There’s no doubt, some will be offended that a coach, who is 1-27–just like his former head of football operations–would be declared the winner of any kind of power struggle, but that’s what’s happening here.
