Steelers reportedly interview former Browns coach Hue Jackson for OC position By Blake Harper | Last updated 1/21/21
The Steelers reportedly interviewed former Browns head coach Hue Jackson for the team s offensive coordinator position.
Pittsburgh declined to renew offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner s contract after a disappointing first-round exit in the playoffs. ESPN s Diana Russini tweeted that Jackson had been interviewed for the vacant position.
Jackson was a longtime running backs coach and offensive coordinator around the league before finally getting his shot at being a head coach for Cleveland in 2016. His tenure with the Browns was not successful by any means, as he went 1-31 over his first two years and was finally fired after a 2-5-1 start to his third season with the team.

2. I m going to try and be fairly realistic (Ex: No Kirk trade, Lawrence/Fields at 14, Zimmer fired, etc.)
3. I am the furthest thing from a cap expert so my numbers may be off.

Quarterback Baker Mayfield has proved himself in Cleveland.
After a tumultuous start to his time in the league, the third-year quarterback has done everything right in cementing his future with the Browns while leading them through a historic postseason run this season, according to NFL Network s Ian Rapoport: From what I understand, he has answered all questions for them as an organization.
