Arkansas Bengal Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Profootball TalkHue Jackson returns to the Bengals Posted by Mike Florio on February 17, 2012, 3:00 PM EST Apparently, the trade that sent Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer to the Raiders also included a coach to be named later. The Bengals have announced that former Raiders head coach Hue Jackson has been hired. He’ll serve as an assistant coach helping the secondary and special teams. “Hue is a tremendous addition to our staff,” Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said in a team-issued release. “I relied on Hue greatly when he was with us, and his success overall in the NFL, including being selected for a head coaching position, is well documented. He has expertise in all aspects of the game, and we are fortunate to have obtained his services.” It looks a little like make-work for Jackson, whose past experiences primarily focused on the offensive side of the ball. According to his bio from his time at USC, Jackson worked with special teams in 1988 and 1989 at Pacific, in 1991 with the London Monarchs, and in 1991 at Cal State-Fullerton. Jackson previously spent three years with the Bengals, from 2004 through 2006, as receivers coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 It looks a little like make-work for Jackson, Who gives a sh*t? Hue is a good coach (he got shafted in Oakland). I hated seeing him leave and am glad to see him back. Good move, Bengals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazkal Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Happy to have Hue back but would have preferred see him helping with the wide Receivers instead special teams.PS,I don't mind him working with secondary though being his knowledge of offense and Receivers.

volcom69 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 I think we all know hue will be in the meetings helping zimmer with his gameplan since he knows offense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 First of all, Hue was the WR coach. That strikes me as very applicable experience to coach DBs, especially given Marvin's statement earlier this year that the D needs more turnovers.Second, teams can always use help in Cincy.I'm just glad Hue was willing. A lot of coaches coming off a head coaching job would never have taken an assistant gig. Especially with a team they once left when they were at a higher level. IMO that shows a lot of character.

DC_Bengals_Fan Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 My only regret is that Al Davis isn't alive. I'm imagining an incoherent press conference where he calls Hue "Benedict Judas" or something equally colorful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalPimp Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Really glad Hue is back.....It strikes me as odd, they hired him on Defense, as he has pretty much been an Offensive Coach both in the NFL and College...be it QB's, WR's O-Coordinator....Doesn't really matter though, BECAUSE, a Good Coach is a Good Coach. Players love Hue, and will work for him......Again, GREAT addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Well I could see making some sense because he'll be able help DB's with perspective from offensive side of ball..just would like to see him help offense too he did great job with our wrs..now imagine lettinf him work with our current group who isnt full of divas ocho and houch vs grewn and shipley and who ever our 2#current may be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishbengal Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 I think we all know hue will be in the meetings helping zimmer with his gameplan since he knows offenseExcellent move .... and a ready fit to step up if Zimmer moves on after next season.......or maybe even if Marvin goes.

And I'm glad he didn't end up elsewhere in the division.And that first handshake and meeting between MB and Hue would be fun to watch.

derekshank Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hue Jackson, spurned Oakland head coach, announced to coach the secondary the same day the Bengals bring in spurned Oakland CB Stanford Routt for an look-see. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Ray Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Seems curious to me that Hue would take such a job. Makes me think that he's here to eventually take over for someone, possibly Marvin. Perhaps he and MB already have an idea of where they're heading after the 2012 season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cHaD711Johnson Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 He also turned down an interview for the NYG QB Coach job to take this job.. Interesting to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I think everyone expects Gruden to be a HC next year. Probably not in Cincy... but he'll be a HC. Hue will become the OC if/when that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Exactly my thought as well in regards to him being the future OC. Many of us here wanted him to get that job when Brat was still here.I could think of many other possibilities that would irritate me FAR greater than seeing that happen.Nice planning as far as i'm concerned !!!
