Ownership should have never forced Dorsey to bring him back. From hard knocks alone you could tell that he wasn't a good head coach and he didn't have the respect of his staff. When you have to play the "I'm the head coach not you" card on day one that is a terrible sign.
He convinced ownership that Sashi Brown was the problem last year not him so they fired Brown deservedly so. According to PFT he was now trying to pin the teams struggles on Todd Haley. He obviously lost this battle.
A good amount of posters here wanted him after TC Â
Guy just didn't seem like head coach material. There was a scene in Hard Knocks where he basically shot down the input from his staff and basically said "I make the decisions, when you sit in my seat then you can call the shots." After seeing that you could just tell the guy wasn't long for the job, not a leader.
"The last 5 Browns head coaches - Romeo Crennel, Eric Mangini, Pat Shurmur, Rod Chudzinski, and Mike Pettine - were all fired after the second Steelers game of that season"

Jimmy Haslam must really hate the Steelers
I’m pretty sure Haslam was a Steelers fan before he owned the Browns.

That's a little misleading, considering the others were fired after the season - they just all happened to play the Steelers in week 17 before Hue.

Jackson's career .205 win percentage is second worst in NFL history among all coaches with at least 40 games. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Jackson's 3-36-1 record with the Browns is the worst head-coaching record for one team in NFL history (minimum 40 games). Link - ( New Window )

The only guy with a worse record had a level of job security Jackson didn't - he also owned the team. Bert Bell - ( New Window )
Why have him giving input on the draft? It never made sense to begin with
Jackson took no accountability for his terrible performance and instead convinced ownership that the old GM was solely to blame for constructing the roster not him. This week the weasel Jackson tried to do it once again by blaming the team's struggles on Todd Haley. Who would want someone like that in their organization?
That said, I am surprised they brought him back this year.
I think Haley will take over for the rest of the season and then they'll go after someone like Flip.
Never like to see anybody get fired, but totally justifiable.
I wonder if a head coach has ever lasted as long with as bad a W/L record.

If browns get a good coach they Will be very competitive with the talent that they have
