Hue Jackson Cautions the Browns About Not Letting All This Success Go to Their Heads

Source – Superstar rapper Snoop Dogg paid a surprise visit to Browns practice on Wednesday and Hue Jackson loved it, but he also cautioned his players not to get caught up in folks jumping on the bandwagon after a few wins.

“Snoop, I’ve known him for quite a while,” said Jackson. “He’s been around some other places I have been. … It was good to have him out for a moment. A lot of guys see him on the sideline, and his message was ‘Man, you guys are doing some good things, some really good things.’

“I thought that was great. At the same time, there are going to be a lot of people that want to come be on this wagon when the wagon gets rolling, and we’re going to circle the wagon. I know that because I didn’t see any of these people the last two years.

“I’m still the same guy. I still knew all of these people prior to this year. We’re not going to get caught up in any of that. Our players won’t, and that’s my message to them.”

That’s how you get to be the best in the business. Hue Jackson, already having doubled his win total of the last two seasons combined, nevertheless understands you’ve got to find a way stay to humble. You’ve got to keep the Eye of the Tiger. So many times, it happens too fast. You trade your passion for glory. Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past. You must fight just to keep them alive. Well that’s not going to happen on Hue’s watch.

And it’s understandable. It’s human nature to climb all the way up to 2-2-1 and then rest on your laurels. The world comes calling, telling you how great you are. It’s only natural to believe you’re everything they say you are and climb aboard the hype train. Well Hue Jackson is the same guy he was when he won that game back in 2016. He knew all these celebrities back then too. He’s not about to forget where he came from or let sudden success change him. And he’ll be damned if he’ll let all the winning and tying go to his team’s head. Icarus fell to Earth when he flew too close to the sun. Well now that the Factory of Sadness is only tied for last place in their division instead of alone in last place, hubris will not be their undoing.

Hue Jackson: Football guy. Friend to famous people. Coach of a .500 team. Natural born leader.
