Reactions to Browns' Hire of Hue Jackson

The Cleveland Browns got their man.

Earlier this afternoon, the club announced the hire of Hue Jackson, former Bengals offensive coordinator and Raiders head coach. Twitter exploded at the news.

And the reactions? Overwhelmingly positive.

National and local media, players, and fans all voiced their approval for the move.

The most important characters in this story -- the players -- wholeheartedly approve of the move, as Jackson is known as a player's coach.

Quick straw poll in texting some Browns players: They're ecstatic. Hue Jackson makes football fun. He's innovative & will score touchdowns

I've played 4 Bill Belichick, and spent countless hours with Hue Jackson and my opinion is there isn't much difference! #BlackBillBelichick

Respected national media members called the hire a smart move.

Hue Jackson gets Browns job, per @MikeSilver. Superb hire. Jackson made Dalton better and maximized Cin weapons. Congrats to him and Browns.

If you are a Browns fan who wanted Hue: Your owner & his team went out and seized the moment. Give them points for that.

And fans, often the most difficult to please (and rightly so, judging by the team's ineptitude since 1999), nearly unanimously applauded the decision.

I like hue Jackson a lot. if anyone can turn around the Browns it's him

#Browns looked way more professional on this hire than the last. Better process. Got to give some credit to Jed Hughes and the search firm.

It's difficult not to like the hire of Hue Jackson.

I certainly have my doubts, such as Jackson's commitment to the club's new philosophy and dedication to analytics. Jackson is a good coach, but will he play nice with the rest of the front office? For now, though, I'm willing to give Hue the benefit of the doubt.
