Hue Jackson?

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.

Hue was interim head coach at Atlanta. Promoted from OC. He was fired after the season ended and later landed in Baltimore as QB coach. Anything can happen.

Anything is possible, sure. But don't count on it. Once you gain full head coach duties and even get a small grasp of personnel control (like Hue in the Palmer case), you get a little ego boost and don't want to go back to a demoted position with a team if you can help it. Hue can easily end up with an OC job somewhere, if not HC with a desperate team.

Assistant Head Coach / QB coach. I aggree with you on what Hue is worth but I wouldn't let any other team get him cheap. Certainly would not look away from him.

I think that we would be stupid not to consider hiring him in some capacity with the Ravens. Does anyone think that he would be willing to take the QB coach position? Cameron will be around for a few more years if we make it to the SB, so there is little chance that there will be an OC position here. Having Jackson around would keep him on his toes. It's like having a great young player riding the bench behind you on the depth chart. It's only a matter of time before he takes your spot on the roster.

I think its a shame that Hue was fired after one year as head coach and after going 8 - 8. It is reminiscent of what happened to Marty Shottenheimer who was 8 - 8 in his first and only year as head coach for the Redskins. The biggest difference is Shottenheimer's team won eight of its last eleven games that year so it was even more absurd. I think Hue's post-game interview after the season-ending loss did him in. Out of frustration, he more or less threw his players under the bus. If Mark Davis and Reggie McKenzie fired him because of his ego, they ought to look in the mirror. Egos have no place in decision-making and become the downfall of many coaches. As an example, I think Mike Smith's ego contributed heavily to Atlanta's loss against the Giants. By going for it on 4th down in the noisy Giants stadium and not making it twice, he energized the opposition and demoralized his own team. I wish Hue and Marty well in all their future endeavors.

Dont think so. He's looking for a head coaching position.

I don't think Hue is going to get a head coaching job this year. It is unfortunate that he got fired after one year, which was a tough year on it's own, let alone for the raiders organization. He's a good coach but teams might hesitate to make him their head coach right away after how the season ended for the raiders. I could see him getting some offensive coordinator interest though, esp in places such as kansas city and alanta which would both be good jobs for him. However, the least we could do is offer him the qb coach position since flacco and him had a good relationship (if I remember correctly). I think hue did a good job with the raiders offense with what he had, when he had it. (The offense was ranked 4th in 2010 when he was the offensive coordinator.)

The thing I like about hue is that he has been a Rbs coach in 01-02, then offensive coordinator in 03 at washington under spurrier and schottenheimer. He was a Wr coach in 04-06 at Cinn, and he did a good job with ocho and housch. Then he went to atl as their offensive coordinator for a year and was joe's qb coach for the first two years of his career. It would be a good thing to say the least for our offense to add him back as a qb's coach. I would be happy for him to be our offensive coordinator if cam is let go, but the only problem is that it is pretty evident that hue wants to be a head coach. He will be ready to take over a team as soon as a team wants him

I think Hue would take the offer to be QB coach for Joe again atleast until this season is finished. It would set him up to take over OC if Cam stumbles and also help him to get future positions as a OC or HC if he helps with Joe durning this playoff run. Do I think it will happen no but I can wish.

[The Raven]

I never heard that he had an ego until recently. While he was in Baltimore, I heard no problems from him and from what I heard, I've only heard good things about hm.

[Purple Punishment]

Not Harbs choice to fire Cam

[CapoRocky]

I think that the offense has struggled a few times this year, but it has also produced some outstanding numbers.

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

Except turning the Raiders offense, which had been a joke for about a decade, in to one which actually had people worried. They still looked pretty competent this year, despite losing: Jason Campbell, Darren McFadden (both season long), almost every receiver for parts of the season and Zach Miller to free agency.

awesome pickup for us if we get him, still dont know why the Raiders fired him

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.

It's not what I want that matters, it is just the way you do business in the league. Why would Jackson spend time here as a qb coach with no guarantee of a future job? If we win the superbowl and the offense plays decently, there's like a 5% chance Cameron is fired, and Jackson could definitely get an OC position elsewhere. Hiring Jackson, a man who hasn't been here for a while, means we expect to fail and have to fire our coaches and would only create tension, and there is no guarantee he would "destroy the Texans."

In addition, I am no fan of Cam but I think he has been made into a scapegoat. In two games (Sea, Jax) the playcalling has been horrible, but I feel a lot of the issues have been execution. Flacco has been flat out inaccurate in many of his passes, receivers have dropped a lot of balls, and our line is not amazing. I feel in a lot of the games that Flacco struggles, Cam is given too much of the blame. For example when we lead, he is chastised for being "predictable," "playing to not lose," and "conservative." In other situations people say "what the hell are we doing passing the ball? Thats not our team's identity." I feel Flacco's insanely inconsistent play has not really allowed him to find a rhythm to the playcalling. Likewise in the same game, I often times see people say, "oh thats predictable. 1 yard gain, two yard gain, checkdown, punt," and follow it with "why would we throw it deep on first down??" I feel the real issue here is why our line is so often limited to short run plays, why Flacco has been missing Smith and Evans, and why many throws are often times late.

[Perfekt]

Cam doesnt put Flacco in the best position to win. His playcalling is outdated and predictable and personally I dont care if we win the superbowl I still think its time to move on. Evans has clearly struggled with the playing time he has got but we have unproven guys waiting in the wings that could probally out produce him. Doss and L. Williams are to examples of guys just hungering for the oppertunity to play. Another thing that we could do is throw in more 2 TE sets because not only can that help the run game because we have in more blockers we can also make the passing game more effective because we have 2 TEs that can play like WR if needed. I just wish he would play to our players strengths more.


Basically the point is not that Cam is the worst OC ever because hes not but we can still do better. I bet if we do make a change at OC much like Greg to Chuck people will see the difference and be like WOW what was I thinking before.

The failed Carson Palmer trade had a lot to do with it, I'm sure. Now the Raiders are stuck draft wise for the next few seasons, and Palmer really looks like he should have stayed retired.
