FILE – Former Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson speaks during the first day of the House of Athlete
Scouting Combine in Plantation, Fla., in this Wednesday, March 3, 2021, file photo. Jackson said owner
Jimmy Haslam gave him a contract extension midway through a winless season and that he was lied to about
the team’s rebuilding plans. During a wide-ranging interview Monday, March 29, 2021, on ESPN 850,
Jackson, who went 0-16 in 2017 and 3-36-1 in two-plus seasons with the Browns before being fired, said
the team’s efforts to improve while he was with the team were flawed by philosophical differences.
