We were still thinking about how many tickets plus parking there were and were downing $12 beers. He did not say that the Browns actually intentionally lost games during his tenure.īut it’s arguable that if he’s going to expose it as the truth, why didn’t he open up the whole can of worms and let them all crawl in? If he was the one to expose it, stop with the secret language and just spit it out?Īnd besides, isn’t he really blaming himself with this new information?Īgain, he is saying that he was bribed to lose the game and yet no one listened? Sorry, we missed that time. It should be noted that Jackson did not say, or confirm, that he took bonus money for losing the game.
Jackson left his reactions on this thread after his last tweet trying to tell people what was going on.
One user asked why he would put people’s livelihood and health (ie players) at risk, while another asked how he could get a refund on his season ticket for games he lost for the purpose of bonus money. What’s crazy I tried to tell you all, still you all didn’t want to listen because you lost.Īfter this the reactions of the users were quite brutal. Don’t let this kind of shadow stuff hide.” When Jackson tweeted that what Haslam offered for damages was “…a good number,” user Dustin Ludke, who uses the handle responded to Jackson’s tweet by saying, “If So come forward and say so. Sort of, “Single Secret Expansion?”īut now through tweets of his own, Jackson is saying that he too was paid - or offered to pay - for losing the game. He also revealed that he was offered an additional one-year deal that the club had never made public. With Jackson going 3-36-1 during his tenure with the Browns, what part of being paid to lose the game would really give Haslam an advantage for his franchise? It doesn’t mean much.Īfter being fired, Jackson appeared 850 ESPN Cleveland And said Haslam had lied to him about the status of the franchise, as well as the team’s impending rebuilding process. After a 2-5-1 start in 2018, he was fired. Under Jackson’s leadership, Cleveland went 1-15-0 in 2016 and then 0-16-0 in 2017. Jackson was the head coach of the Oakland Raiders for the 2011 season. What?!? Is Hugh Jackson saying he was even paid to lose games while the Browns were head coach?Īfter a 3-13-0 lead over Mike Pettin in 2015, he was replaced with Jackson, who had been the offensive coordinator with the Cincinnati Bengals for the previous two seasons. Jackson then replied to “Trust me that was a good number!” User then replied to Jackson’s tweet saying, “Jimmy Haslam was not offering 100k per damage or Hugh would be on Forbes’ list.” Well Jimmy Haslam was happy while we kept on losing. And if it benefited the league to skewer the results each week to keep fans interested and engaged, the overall opinion was that it certainly could. He owned every player, every coach, every contract, every team and every equipment. WWE executive Vince McMahon attempted to live up to the results of his game in a way that benefited from his plan and story. Part of the reason why the first XFL folded after one season was because fans were concerned about the league and their results.
Which game to lose to benefit the team is no surprise as Dolphins fans had a campaign they called “Tanks for Tua”.īut if Flores’ claims are indeed factual, it could change how we view live sports. What happens in the end-all will probably change a lot of things currently happening in the league.Īnd what has been specifically disclosed is that Flores has said that he was offered $100,000 for each loss in the 2019 season by Miami boss Stephen Ross to help draft Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa. Therefore, Brian Flores, the former head coach of the Miami Dolphins, filed a lawsuit against the entire NFL and their owners for unfair hiring practices and other mixed complaints.
