Nice. Hope it becomes official asap.

Wow! That came out of nowhere.

Good luck to both of them, Jim and Hue.

So, what free agent/draft pick is the "protypical" Hue Jackson running back??

Profootball talk called it a couple days ago.

Not really surprising, but I think he'll do fine as he continues to be in waiting for the OC spot. Either the offense ***** and Jay is gone, or the offense is good and Jay is gone.

Did they say why it would happen when they said it?

Also, what is a XenoMorph?

Maybe Hue gets some input into the offense, which would probably be a good thing.

Figured that this would happen after Anderson announced his retirement.
It made/makes the most sense. I'm all for it.

Yeah, good move. Hopefully Hue gets a little say in the offense too.

[Wyche'sWarrior]

Good stuff....and I agree with all of your guys' sentiments. I really like what I saw from Hue here before and at Oakland.....just look where they wound up when he left.

[RedBengal9]

Something tells me this solidifies them taking Giovani Bernard in the draft.

[Shake n Blake]

Love it. Gets Hue one step closer to Jay's job, and Hue has experience as a RB coach at USC and with the Redskins.

I think he'll do a fantastic job.

[Paul from Dayton]

Keeping Hue to coach in any capacity is a good thing.

Yes please!

Anyone know of the running backs Hue has coached?

Stephen Davis was the RB in D.C. when he was the RB coach there.

Davis was a big back. Most should remember him.

His only time as a RB coach in the NFL was with the Redskins in 2001 and 2002. Stephen Davis had almost 1500 yards in 01 and over 800 yards in 02. He also coached Kenny Watson in 2002 and Ki-Jana Carter in 01. They all had good seasons.

**** yes. This would be perfect because he catches the ball like a WR and we know how good he was as are WR coach. That could open up the playbook ten fold. Im so ****ing pumped right now.

I don't think he's too concerned, he probably knows if he's canned here he'll get another job

When I lived in Detroit, I watched Barry Saunders. We used to sit in the stands and say Barry Saunders up the middle for just about every play. We were right quite often. You'd think a defense could figure it out too.

Just imagine if they could've gotten Al Sanders to coordinate that offense.

Barry Saunders was great, but I think the real talent in Detroit was Barry Sanders. It's sad that he often get's overlooked, such an underrated running back.
