Browns head coach Hue Jackson and his new offensive coordinator, Todd Haley, each have an offensive philosophy.

In fact, they both have strong opinions about those philosophies.

Here’s what Haley said Wednesday in his introductory press conference at Browns Headquarters when asked if their philosophies meshed.

“We are working through some of that. I’m a big guy of anytime you say ‘system’ to me, I’m not a ‘system’ guy, so to speak. I have a language and terminology I have used for a long time that I think works.

“The big change really will be that – really just terminology. What I believe in is playing to every player’s strength that you have as best you can — putting players into position to succeed, playing to their skillset. Wherever I have been, that is what I have really tried to do. Whether I was a position coach, coordinator, head coach, try to put guys in position to succeed

“With Hue, Hue is a very strong offensive mind. I have a great amount of respect for him. We competed against each other here in the (AFC) North for six years, and we competed against each other when we were head coaches out in the AFC West. So I have a great amount of respect for him, his competitive nature and his offensive background. He will be an awesome source to get ideas and to lean on.

“I always say I don’t care where ideas come from, other coaches or players. I just want the best idea that gives us the best chance to succeed.”

Hmmmm.

Note to Hue Jackson: Whatever Todd Haley wants to do, let him do it. You’re lucky you still have a job. The best way to keep that job is with an improved offense. And the best way to get an improved offense is with Haley calling the shots.

So coach the team, Hue, and stay out of Haley’s way. You’ll be glad you did.
