What do you think of Hue Jackson?

Do you think he is a good head coach for the Browns, or at least that he has a chance to be such?

Now, what you think of Jackson as his own offensive coordinator?

Does him also doing that make the offense better?

More importantly, does it give the Browns a better chance to win?

This comes up on this website – and others – every now and then, and this is one of those times after what happened in Sunday’s training camp practice.

The highlight of practice was watching Jackson, the offensive guru, trying to outsmart Gregg Williams, the guru on the other side of the ball in his role as defensive coordinator. They matched wits as if it were a chess match, each man coming up with something to surprise the other and gain an advantage. Then, just as quickly, they switched places.

It was a great game of cat and mouse. A sword fight. A heavyweight fight with nothing buy haymakers – knockout punches – being delivered.

It was tremendous theater. It was fun to watch.

The coaches loved it. The players loved it. The fans loved it. The media members oved it, and those people mostly don’t like anything.

Yeah, there was a lot to love.

But is it in the best interest of the Browns?

That is, is Hue doing both full-time jobs, that of being head coach AND offensive coordinator, making his plate too full?

For years upon end, there has been talk – fiery debate, really – about whether it’s too much to ask of an NFL head coach – any head coach – to also be an offensive or defensive coordinator. There are good points to be made on each side of that argument.

No one knows better than the head coach as to what he wants on offense and defense, so, with the fact his job security is tied directly to the success of the team, it’s easy to see why Hue – and others – also double as coordinators. After all, if they’re going to get fired someday, they want to make sure they go out their way.

But, can a head coach really be effective as … well, a head coach, the job for which he was hired, when in addition he’s running the offense or defense, making play calls and handling substitutions.

What if, when the head coach is right in the middle of making a play call, he is needed – immediately, that moment, that instant – on special at the very back portion of the sideline area, far away from the field? What happens then?

That’s what I worry about with the Browns, a team that with the fact it has so much growing and learning and maturing and improving to do, needs a full-time, all-the-time head coach. Period.

Do you worry about it, too?
