Like just about everyone else, I’ve had nothing but praise for Hue Jackson since he was hired as head coach of the Browns two days ago.

He deserves it – and then some. He’s a breath of much-needed fresh air in Browns Headquarters in Berea.

But I have to be fair and objective, and as such, I am forced to say – emphatically so – that I am not at all happy that Jackson decided to retain special teams coordinator Chris Tabor. And you shouldn’t be happy, either.

Another year of Tabor? Really?

That’s a very bad move, one that totally surprises me.

I thought Tabor did a poor job this past season, and has done so ever since he was hired in 2011 by then first-year head coach Pat Shurmur.

Time after time after time, the Cleveland return teams have gotten penalized for holding and blocking in the back. You can count on it.

Indeed, when’s the last time that the Browns have done something so well on special teams that your jaw dropped and you said, “Wow!”

You don’t remember? That’s what I thought.

It’s painfully obvious that the Browns aren’t nearly good enough on offense or defense to win games. They need help from their special teams, and it hasn’t come for a number of years. That the same coach who wrought all that mediocrity is being brought back is certainly not a sign that things will change anytime soon.
