Hue Jackson responds to Brian Billick saying Browns could go winless
Could the Cleveland Browns go 0-16? One coach turned analyst thinks so, and that isn’t pleasing the team’s current coach.
Brian Billick, former Ravens head coach and current NFL Network pundit, doesn’t see any wins on Cleveland’s schedule in 2016.
You'll dismiss this as "Billick just trashing the Browns again" but seriously…look at schedule & find a single win. You can't do it!

Eagles & Titans most winnable but both on road. #Browns will win at least a game but you can't confidently pick it. https://t.co/0ZfwQTr0Fd

If they go into Philly and win…I'll wear a #Browns jersey to open @NFLGameDay show for week 2. https://t.co/Gwx59dmeHT

Browns coach Hue Jackson wasn’t having it.
“Who said what?” Jackson asked when told of the comment, via Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. “Wow. Good for him. I didn’t know he worked here. I’m just being honest.
“I think it’s really interesting that everybody can comment on other people’s teams and don’t even understand their inner workings. I have great respect for Brian, he’s a great coach in this league, but we’ll see if that’s true. We’ll see if what he says is true. We’ll look back in 16 games and see if it’s right. But I’m not going to get caught up in that.”
Billick has had a lot of pretty hot takes since leaving the coaching business — remember when he was slammed for this one in particular? This one as well seems pretty unlikely to come true, even if the Browns probably won’t be all that great in 2016.
