Allegations show Jim Haslam's Browns paid former head coach Hue Jackson to lose games [View all]

Brian Flores, recently fired by the Miami Dolphins, accused the NFL and three teams of racism. He is also claiming that the owner of the Dolphins, Stephen Ross, offered him money to lose games on purpose.

Former coach of the Cleveland Browns, Hue Jackson, claimed that a similar situation happened to him by owner of the Cleveland Browns and Knoxville native, Jimmy Haslam.

Jackson coached the Browns from 2016 to 2018. During his 40 games coached for Cleveland, he went 3-36-1 for a .088 winning percentage.

Jackson told ESPN that he told Haslam that he wasn’t interested in bonus money and instead wanted that money used to improve the team.

“And I remember very candidly saying to Jimmy, ‘I’m not interested in bonus money,’ because I’ve never known that to be a bonus. I was interested in taking whatever that money was and putting it toward getting more players on our football team because I didn’t think we were very talented at all,” Jackson told ESPN. “I know what good football teams look like, play like, what they act like and we didn’t have a lot of talented players on the team at that time.”
