Browns pull plug on Jackson’s run as coach

Hue Jackson’s flawed tenure with the Cleveland Browns is finally over. The team fired its embattled coach Monday, ending a run of futility nearly unmatched in NFL history. The Browns also dismissed offensive co-ordinator Todd Haley and named defensive co-ordinator Gregg Williams interim coach. Haley was in his first season on Jackson’s staff after spending the previous six in Pittsburgh. Jackson went 3-36-1 in two-plus seasons. Jackson’s firing came one day after the Browns (25-1) lost their 25th straight road game, 20 with Jackson in charge.
