Hue Jackson?

[Blex64]

Screw QB coach. Let's get him back as the offensive coordinator.

[The Raven]

I'd love to have him. "Creative" and "aggressive" is perfect.

Dang, I feel bad for the guy... I mean seriously, after his tribute to [b]Al Harris[/b], they fire him like that? They didn't even have their worst year under him this time..

the CB? lol

I would absolutely love it if Hue Jackson came back. In order to succeed and become an elite QB, IMO, Flacco needs more than just one guy in his ear all the time. Not to mention Flacco showed good growth under his first two years with Hue, and he seemed to get along with Cam Cameron more than either Zorn or Saunders did. I think it would be a fantastic offseason move, and would really speed up Flacco's progression to being able to play quarterback at an elite level.

[BMORElegacy]

Yes please. And I'm pretty sure Joe would agree.

[frozen joe flacco fan]

It won't happen. If we were going to bring someone in to help us win this year, we should have talked to Josh McDaniels as soon as he became available. You have to take your hat off to Belichik. I have not agreed with all the play calling by Cam Cameron in the past but I do not agree with the fire Cam rhetoric, I thought his play calling this year was better than it was last year. Given the Ravens' overall success, offensively, under his coordination, I think the jury is still out. We won six of our last seven games. Cam has to adjust his gameplans to best utilize the personnel we have. I'm sure if he had his druthers he'd love to have taller receivers like Meachem, Colston and Graham to throw to with a little Moore, Henderson and Sproules mixed in. If we can draft or trade to get a couple more big WRs and keep the nucleus of our O-line together, Joe's numbers will continue to improve.

I can see Hue as our OC. Behind Norv (which is no more), Hue would be the next logical guy. After that I am afraid *gulp* that Cam would stay.

If we lose he could very well be gone by Monday.

DANG I always mix Al Harris and Al Davis together haha

[JO_75]

Why wait until we fire Cam, do what the Patriots did with McDaniels scoop him up put him as QB Coach for the post season.

[charchboii]

What about promoting someone that's already on our offensive coaching staff

Who is on our offensive coaching staff who is ready for offensive play-calling? We don't have a QB coach. Our O-Line coach is on thin ice. Plus they could be tainted by Cam.

The only guy I think would have a chance is Wilbert Montgomery, the RB coach.

[Purple Punishment]

The more I think about it, the more it sucks for Hue. I think he could have turned that team around for a winning season and playoff berth next year. He wasnt given a fair shake. He turns their offense around from being abysmal, gets the HC job and almost turns the total team performance around....except for penalties

[Dudeman]

Hue Jackson being let go of by the Raiders wasn't a very big surprise to me.

First and foremost the Raiders turn coaches over just about every year.

Secondly, a new Gm will want to hand-pick the guy he wants in charge. Having Hue could undermine some of his authority.

Lastly, in the NFL coaches and players (specifically QB's) are tied at the hip. The move to bring in Carson Palmer proved unfruitful, and ultimately gave the Bengals a king's ransom in the draft.

Do I think bringing Hue Jackson back into the fold is a good idea? Yes, but in what capacity I am uncertain. I think our offense regressed some without him and Al Saunders, but who knows how much he influenced us.

I'd be willing to give anyone from the Packers or Saints offensive staff a shot as the offensive coordinator before Cam Cameron again. Heck, I'd be more willing to give Shaq a shot as our OC than putting up with another year of complete and total incompetence from Cam.

[Guest RBates]

Bring him back now!!!!! No need to wait it was a mistake letting him go and keeping Cam. One season and done........Wow>>>>> goes to show there is more to the NFL then just football. I would have at least expected him to stay two seasons. Fired after losing your starting QB and Running back for the year? You have got to be kidding me.

[Wacko4Zacko]

I I think Hue Jackson would be perfect for our offense and great for Joe.

Was looking at Hue's resume on Wiki and found it interesting that in his 25 years of coaching football he hasn't ever stayed in the same position longer than 3 seasons (many of which were 1 year bouts in which he changed jobs within that year). There's obviously something with his personality that clashes with his superiors/coworkers.

Hue's obviously a very talented offensive guy but not sure how it would gel by bringing him in at this point. I think it'd be something to definitely consider after our season is over, though!

A lot of that has to do with opportunity as well. If you do a good job you can get noticed. Throughout his career he was always progressing. I wouldn't go as far to say something was wrong with his personality. We just don't know. Its hard to point at him for leaving the Redskins and Raiders. They tend to make brash moves. He left the Ravens for a better opportunity.

You're right, as fans, we have no substantial insight on Hue's personality and the circumstances on why he's gone from job to job. He also seemed to work well with Joe during his rookie season.

I just threw that out there as there is speculation on Hue's "ego" and how it may have contributed to his firing. Here's an article that was just posted to ESPN about this issue, too:

I won't deny that it seems he has a strong ego. You could tell by the way he talked about the Raiders organization like it was 'his' org. But that's not necessarily a bad thing for a O that needs a stronger personality.

[Kleermynd Raven]

I don't think Hue would get too big for his britches here...the culture is way different. We all know there's the NFL and then there was the Al Davis led Raiders. It was kind of a circus. Few people rarely ever want to leave Baltimore so I'm sure he will adjust his ego to make this a place to grow until his next opportunity to be a HC. We could use a guy who has aggressive playcalling and knows how to get his star RB the rock...Experience with Flacco to boot...looks almost like a perfect fit and certainly better than keeping Cam onboard. (not bashing Cam, but we know his shortcomings)

[Purple Punishment]

he wants to win. i dont see anything wrong with that attitude

[Kwothdaraven]

Qb coach, maybe. OC? no. He hasent proved anything as a play caller.

[shootyoup]

We wouldn't sign him as a QB coach for the postseason. The McDaniels agreement in New England comes with a guarantee of the OC position next year because their current OC got hired away. Though Cam might be fired if we come up short, there's no way we send that message and disrespect him in the middle of our playoff run. Plus, would Jackson be considered for other HC positions across the league? Miami possibly?

Hire him and let him come here as McDaniels did with NE

I agree. QB coach / assistant head coach. Hue would devise a game plan that would destroy the Texans. Man's brilliant.

You want to win for sure? Hue will destroy the Texans. NFL is tough love. You either get it done or you're out. NFL Not For Long if you don't win.

[CorvusControl]

Just curious, what makes you believe that Hue would devise a plan that would destroy the Texans?

I've followed Hue since he Lit them up in Atlanta with Chris Redmon of all people. He was involved in Cincy's offense when they won our division. Hue Jackson may even be better than Ted Marchabroda was. Hue's work with Flacco was exceptional. Our offense, you should agree, Hasn't been the same since Hue left.

[T-ray]

Like I said earlier, there's no way at all that Hue would come back as just a Qb coach/offensive assistant. The man was only recently a Head Coach who did some good work as an offensive warden for crying out loud! If he doesn't get a HC job, then I envision him as an OC, but nothing short of that. It will be up to Harbaugh to swallow his pride and fire his friend Cam if we are to get Jackson in here. While I'd love to see that happen, I don't think it will. Harbaugh is known for his pride.
