Skip is a clown, BUT, he doesn’t back down, he is brutally honest without being annoying unlike SAS, and that especially shows with some of the guests they have on, say whatever you want but Skip has balls to have said this to Hue straight up and especially when he got on a shouting match with James Harrison
Um no. Neither of them are... They literally cant speak about anything other than football/basektball. They dont know anything about baseball/hockey/soccer/mma/boxing.. etc. Atleast Kellerman can speak on behalf of boxing.
There are both good in their style, the issue is, it's only about them when there's a third person, the co-anchor. The women who's held the position are useless as they are not included/ don't really take part in the conversation. On 'First Thing First' and 'First Take' they participate pertinently. It makes it antiquated in that aspect.
Skip and Shannon: Were you angry? Hue: WE were angry. Skip and Shannon: Why did you do this... Hue: WE chose to do this... Skip and Shannon: Did you sign off on cutting ties this Josh Gordon? Hue: WE as an organization chose to do so. Skip and Shannon: Hue, do you love your wife? Hue: WE as an organization love my wife.
Hue is a classy dude, well spoken & very insightful. He answered the tough questioning & never raised his voice,evaded the interrogation, broke eye contact or broken a sweat. I'd hire him in a minute to coach up my Fantasy Football team.
I saw both interviews (first take & undisputed) and i feel that skip n shannon asked all the questions that I wanted to know, from dez to baker to the draft. Not to mention skip told him about the way he felt about hardknocks and if some of Hue's actions were cuz he was playing to the cameras. EXCELLENT interview
Shoutout to undisputed for finally passing the 1 milling followers marker , I remember when this show was first starting out, congrats guys , Shannon should hook ya up with a henny party
I am a Cleveland area guy, and I wanted Hue Jackson gone. That being said, he is a great man and a class act. I respect that man, but 1 win in two years, and a losing record again will get you to the door...
I like Hue, but let’s be honest here, he can’t tell the whole truth and he has to stay positive about everything and say good things about everybody or he won’t get another job.
That’s gotta suck that you’re with a team for years and you study and scout players that can help you for the next decade and you get a guy like Garrett that’s gonna help you forever and then you just get fired. It’s not “his” team anymore. He just has to cut ties and can’t really root for them anymore. Kinda like a long relationship with someone and kids
Yeah must be hard to be paid almost a million or more to just sit there and look pretty. No contribution in sports history, lessons, abilities of the game, stats. These positions are useless.
The thing about Skip is that he is always genuine, which makes this better than first take because him and Shannon have more character and the chemistry is defo there
Imo they only ever gave coaches one year and majority of the time they would finish 4-12 and would be fired, they probably thought let's give him more time and see can he change things around over a 2-3 year period
Because when he was hired he wasn't expected to win much. They tore the team down to the bare studs the year they hired him. It was rebuild time. He filled the hole until it was time to compete. And then let go just like Sashi.
Thank you Hue for Josh! He's doing great in New England! I followed his story, and knew he was talented but troubled. When he was released, I thought to myself we need him in New England! He would do well there with the structure in place. Glad he got the personal help he needed and now he's thriving and really helping my team!
John50 Beach the browns are easily the worst franchise in sports history. Hue is a great offensive coach but when you have no offense its hard to display your talents
As a Baker fan, he has been a class act through and through (even though he shouldn't be going to every tv sports show) just really sad that it didn't work out with him as a HC. In a different reality with Hue as a O-coordinator things might have worked out differently. BTW, I uploaded a video on how the Browns can improve to a playoff team if you want to to watch.
Hue came across as pretty straight forward and honest, gotta give him that! I like how Skip and Shannon brought up issues without kicking a man who's already down. Props to Hue for doing this. On the flip side, can you imagine the Colin Cowherd version of this interview? Would be a giant dumpster fire!
Hue “but at the same time” Jackson Hue “at the end of the day” Jackson Hue “im gonna be more involved in the offense this week” Jackson Hue “I didnt win enough football games” Jackson
Peyton Manning being left out of the GOAT convo is blasphemous. 7x 1st team all-pro, 5 MVPs, two rings(y’all can say he got carried for the second but he outplayed Brady in the AFC championship that year 🤷🏾♂️), most passing yards in a single season, and most touchdowns in a single season. he should be in the conversation.
@@Matt0719g it doesn't go against the player cap no cause they're not players but they don't want to pay someone who isn't there unless they feel like they're dragging the team down. Hue wasn't dragging the team down. He's partially responsible for the amount of talent they have now. I think his problem was ownership went with analytics more than Hues own knowledge and it resulted in the team making poor draft picks for his first year.
stronghold301 he should have list his job after the first season was over or the second, but not mid-season when the team is progressing, now you have a inexperienced coaching staff, everything is flipped over and development will take even longer
Hu is a class act. So sorry he had so few tools to work with in 2016 and 2017. Haslam and Dorsey should appreciate the way he’s handling his firing. Respect.
I love Hue Jackson! I think he is a stand up guy and there is a coaching job out there for next season. I would love to see him get the head coaching job in Cincinnati.
This is a really insightful interview. I love being able to see Hue Jackson's perspective especially when it came to the part about how he delegated offensive play calling to Todd Haley. I agree with that approach in general. I am a KC Chiefs fan. I saw year after year how Andy Reid made mistakes interfering with his OC year after year especially during playoffs. However Reid is totally being the Alpha dog and winning over Beinemy. He is taking charge. It is working for him right now. But it also could cause problems. I agree with winning. But I also agree with not interfering with professionals and allowing them to play their roles.
Says a lot that Skip got a recently fired NFL head coach to come talk and be so straight up. Props to both of them. Great interview. Hue Jackson was NOT the only problem in Cleveland
Hue Jackson was 3-36-1 as the head coach for the Cleveland Browns. 1-15 first year, 0-16 second year and 2-5-1 in his final year. The fact that he won 66.6% of his career wins this year is saddening.
Best thing about skip n shannon is they just ask questions and actually let the guest speak. They dont try to tell them what they should have done or how to do their job.
Some lucky coach is gonna benefit from the fruit of Coach Jackson's labor because he built a true future for the Browns through smart draft picks and great off season acquisitions. Myles Garret, Jarvis Landry, Baker Mayfield, Nick Chubb is a pretty good start to success for a franchise
Nikita Smith Jr-Bey Dang bro! You are like the only one who sees that. The only thing he did wrong was not start Mayfield but again that’s a coin toss.
I have been in a lot of jobs until I graduated college, one of the most important things I noticed in my jobs was leadership. I would encourage everyone to read Extreme Ownership. Jackson took extreme ownership this dude is a true leader I would like to see him part of a true NFL ownership again.
Skip: So when you proposed to your wife years ago, was it all you that decided it was time to pop the question? Hue:... Uhhh I think it was an organization decision, a decision we made together ya know, no one person was the sole factor in deciding
People and the media make him look like an absolute idiot and he wasn’t a good coach but he’s not deflecting every question and he’s being very frank and candid about his time in Cleveland and he’s owning up to his mistakes and what he could’ve done better. He is a very well spoken person and I wish the media would overreact less but the media isn’t going to do that which is sad
He should have never gave up his play calling power. Like Shannon stated he finally had the roster. Hope he gets another opportunity with a more stable organization. I can see the Browns being one of those Bucs ( Tony Dungy- Jon Gruden) situations. They have some real talent. This next coach is CRUCIAL.
I feel Hue because as a fan when he first took the job the Browns were already in tank/rebuild mode. In an article after taking the job he explain why he took the Browns job.. There were other NFL teams in need of head coaches, the Browns were the first team to interview him.. He stated he took the Browns job because of the Rooney Rule, stating that if he passed on the Browns job they wouldn't have to interview another black coach for the job. So he sacrificed himself so that the other NFL teams with head coaching vacancies had to interview another black coach. By taking the Browns job he got caught up. I watch the whole thing unfold and felt bad that Hue had to wear that. It's politics!
He was told to hire todd , or strongly encouraged .. to hire him.. which in the hot seat, hugh had very little wiggle room to argue. Therefore technically he hired todd, but not really his decision. So he is speaking truth but kind of misleading.. he will never admit , he had to tread lightly on push back to gm and owner because he waz on thin ice With his record. So he was really just another figure ... a head figure, but to make some sense of things .. he would push back on his coaches in favor of players , because atleast “i can control this” attitude, hence the argument in the meeting on hard knocks. He doesnt control the organization or have any real pull ; but atleast he can say “no” to his coaches bout some arbitary request.
Is Baker Mayfield the long-term QB solution for the Browns?
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED yep
Without a doubt
Bring joy back
He's there only hope tbh
hope so for the fans of the browns...gonna be even worse in the future if he isnt
Props to Skip for saying the things he said about the hard knocks episode on air to Hue's face.
yeah, one good thing about skip is that hes a man and isnt scared to say things to peoples faces
he asks tough questions and is respectful
also props to Hue for taking it and not getting salty
@@MentalMarc lmao just ask T.O
I was weak af😂😂
Skip is a clown, BUT, he doesn’t back down, he is brutally honest without being annoying unlike SAS, and that especially shows with some of the guests they have on, say whatever you want but Skip has balls to have said this to Hue straight up and especially when he got on a shouting match with James Harrison
Both are annoying..Dont pick on the Black guy to seem cool
Kewl Brees leave it to a black guy to always make something about race
Stpehen a tries to be real but does it in a sarcastic way to lighten the mood , which makes it cringy to see
Skip is the ultimate critic
Where was the shouting match with Harrison I would love to see that
Yall can hate Skip but he doesnt hold back on questions when people come in like TO, Dak, and Hue. He does his job
This is why undisputed is the best sports talk show
For Muricans maybe but I think First things First is better. Imo.
Um no. Neither of them are... They literally cant speak about anything other than football/basektball. They dont know anything about baseball/hockey/soccer/mma/boxing.. etc. Atleast Kellerman can speak on behalf of boxing.
@@onebuffalo5402 No one cares about any of those. Basketball and Football are peak athletics.

It makes it antiquated in that aspect.
Michael Liu in America those are the dominant sports. Basketball yes but most of the world embraces track and field, baseball, soccer etc.
When is Dez Bryant coming on the show? I want to see him and the old man to argue
Nah I think Shannon wants all the smoke with Dez, he been saying he trash lmao
Ikr
He's with the saints now
Skip has invited him multiple times onto the show and he wouldnt come on
He will never come to the show, they trash him way too much
Way to keep that same energy with Hue skip.
Congrats on the 1mill subs
Skip interviewing Hue? I need my popcorn.
Lmao...🍿🍿🍿

Hue is a classy dude, well spoken & very insightful. He answered the tough questioning & never raised his voice,evaded the interrogation, broke eye contact or broken a sweat. I'd hire him in a minute to coach up my Fantasy Football team.
you gotta talk good to be that bad at coaching and get the job

Thats stupid as he had the pieces in 2017 season. The offense underperformed and thats suppose to be Hue's specialty.

Hue looks like he could be CC Sabathia's dad.
Drew Bravo ever see Hue and CC in the same room 🤔
Hue look like Winnie the Pooh
Kudos for him in that seat
True
Other way around.
Who else waiting for the Dez discussion ?
Im pretty sure that was announced after the show..i think. Edit: Im wrong lol
Niall Phelan we won't see it till tomorrow, I believe they record from 6am to like noon
Niall Phelan he’s gotta agree
Say what you want about Skip but he never backs down from any comments he’s made (good or bad) about the person he’s talking to. Big ups for that
"3-36-1 as head coach of the Browns - Why didn't it work out in Cleveland?"
I'll leave it at that.
Not a huge fan of skip but I’ll give him credit he doesn’t back down and suck up to guests when they are there I respect that
This is such an organized and great sports show, so much more professional than first take where S.A.S just cut off and undermines everyone.
These are dumbed down talk shows for the monday morning quarterbacks out there.
Hue Jackson should get into politics
How can you not love Hue Jackson as a man that's a man in the chair today.
He skates through questions. Hue wants another job so the truth will ever come from him.
Roman Bethea It’s not like he could just go up there and bash on the entire organization and air all their dirty laundry
@@thellama3239 He could, but he's classy and did not.
Roman Bethea that’s a man who should have been fired after 0-16. He’s not head coach material. Never has been.
I am a Cleveland area guy, and I wanted Hue Jackson gone. That being said, he is a great man and a class act. I respect that man, but 1 win in two years, and a losing record again will get you to the door...
Hue sounds like he majored in PR!
He's very articulate.
He should've done that as a career instead of becoming the worst NFL head coach of the modern area.
Much respect to Hue Jackson. Great interview & i hope he can find a fit somewhere.
Not at the nfl level

Yea but you dont wanna rub anyone the wrong way or Cincinnati will be his last stop and a short stop at that
Lol why do you like him? Did you watch hard knocks?
he needs to "process it" while reviewing tape from the past 3 years.
That’s gotta suck that you’re with a team for years and you study and scout players that can help you for the next decade and you get a guy like Garrett that’s gonna help you forever and then you just get fired. It’s not “his” team anymore. He just has to cut ties and can’t really root for them anymore. Kinda like a long relationship with someone and kids
Ask Tony Dungy...
Jenny is so much better than Molly on First Take. She never interrupts.
Molly has a voice..sometimes she need to interrupt .they get out of hand. .plus she is better ..

Cool dude to lose with
Browns players called him black Michael Scott
He is a great speaker
He is failure head coach though.

You can tell he's hurt...he's a likeable guy but not head coach material. He is a decent OC though.
@An E no he wasn't too good in Oakland either
Im Maxing RS as a Raiders fan he went 8-8 with us which isn’t bad by our standards I’d rather have Hue then Dennis Allen.
The thing about Skip is that he is always genuine, which makes this better than first take because him and Shannon have more character and the chemistry is defo there
3-36-1
Why wasnt this man fired earlier...
Imo they only ever gave coaches one year and majority of the time they would finish 4-12 and would be fired, they probably thought let's give him more time and see can he change things around over a 2-3 year period
Because the talent wasn't NFL caliber
Because when he was hired he wasn't expected to win much. They tore the team down to the bare studs the year they hired him. It was rebuild time. He filled the hole until it was time to compete. And then let go just like Sashi.
