Hue Jackson reportedly a candidate for Arizona State OC job

Hue Jackson’s ticket back to coaching may be as an assistant in the college ranks.

According to Bruce Feldman of FOX Sports, Jackson, the former Cleveland Browns head coach, is a candidate to become Arizona State’s offensive coordinator under Herm Edwards.

I'm told that former #Browns head coach Hue Jackson has emerged as a strong candidate for the #ASU offensive coordinator vacancy on Herm Edwards' staff, per source.

If Jackson were to join Arizona State, he’d be getting back to his coaching roots. He spent time as a position coach there from 1992-1995, and served as USC’s offensive coordinator from 1997-2000. Nowadays, he’s best known for going 3-36 as head coach of the Cleveland Browns, a job in which he still somehow thinks he got a raw deal.

Jackson would be in good company were he to join Edwards’ Arizona State staff, as it’s quickly becoming a haven for ex-NFL coaches to get back into the game.
