Official Black Monday Is Coming Thread

Apparently Haslam promised 3 years at least. But he has probably promised that before.

Jimmy seems to like Hue though, or at least, thinks he been in a bad situation.

Did Dorsey take the GM job without a guarantee he could pick the coach? They have to change the culture and attitude there. Whether 1-30 is Jackson's fault, I don't think you change the culture with him there.

I think, like Ted, he might have agreed to a one year evaluation. But who the hell knows with Haslam? He might have decided on Hue staying one more year the day after signing Dorsey.

Hadley seems to be the problem if he’s willing to stick with a coach who has won 1 game in 2 years and not let his new GM pick his guy

The local word is that Haslem gave Hue an unconditional, iron-clad promise of a three year deal. The reason is because they were firing people every year, and no one would take the job. So Haslem had to promise. And because he is such a noble, trustworthy, ethical guy, he could never, ever go back on his word.


Still, why couldn't this work out? It's not like it's never been done to bring in a new GM and leave the old coach in place for a year. Hmmm....where do I recall that happening before?

At least the guy you may be thinking of WAS a GM.

Hue Jackson just plays one while he is coaching. He got the Raiders to trade for Carson Palmer and he just helped force the previous GM out in Cleveland.
