, the former coach of the Cleveland Browns, is unemployed once more.
Jackson’s two years with Grambling State came to an end this week when he was fired. Under Jackson, the Tigers went 8–14, and they recently concluded a 5–6 campaign.
“We are appreciative of Coach Jackson’s contributions to the GSU football team. Dr. Trayvean Scott, vice president of intercollegiate athletics, wished the man well in all of his future undertakings. “Although it was not an easy choice to make, we believed it was essential to the success of our programme.

“I could have done a lot of things better,” Hue has never taken ownership of anything.
Given that Jackson, 58, has more than 35 years of coaching experience under his belt, it’s possible that he will eventually find work as a coordinator or position coach.
